Measurement of surface roughness has been done by two dimensional method until now. In recent, three dimensuional method is introduced for the precise measurement of surface roughness. But the study about stylus type three dimensional measurement method is a little. Therefore, in this study, arbitrary machined surface is selected and same part is measured by two dimensional and three dimensional method. The result is that the ratio of tow dimensional to three dimensional value is 0.9-1.1 in Ra. But two dimensional measurement method is underestimated because the ratio is 0.5-0.9 in Rz, Rmax. And it is suitable that the number of measuring line is 100 and y pitch is 5 um by three dimensional surface roughness measuring method.
