<![CDATA[Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) is one of the solid wastes of the palm oil industry that is used as an alternative material to replace composite products. Composite is a material that is formed from a combination of two or more materials so that a composite material is produced that has different mechanical properties and characteristics from the forming material. This research aims to make the body of a food delivery car robot and obtain the characteristics of being able to machine (Drilling and Sawing), The test material used is a foamed polymer composite material reinforced with OPEFB fiber. The composite manufacturing process is carried out by the hand lay-up method. This test was carried out using 3 variations of drill bits with diameters of 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm and by using cutting speeds of 20 m/min, 40 m/min, and 60 m/min. From the results of the comparison, the use of drill bits with a diameter of 8 mm obtained the most optimal results, where a cutting speed of 20 m/min produced a rotation speed of 796.17 rpm, a cutting speed of 40 m/min produced a rotation speed of 1592.3 rpm, and a cutting speed of 60 m/min produced a rotation speed of 2388.5 rpm. The greater the cutting speed, the greater the spindle rotation produced; the low cutting speed followed by the low spindle rotation does not raise the cutting force enough so that the composite plane will break.]]>
