Analysis of manufacturing parameters as a function of cutting power during circumferential milling of solid wood
Cutting processes, in general, and wood cutting processes in particular, are complex to explain and describe, depending on a number of influencing factors such as material characteristics, cutting tool geometry and cutting parameters. A thorough understanding of the characteristics of woodworking machining, such as cutting tool wear, cutting forces, energy consumption, and cutting tool stress, gives the opportunity to improve product quality, increase production efficiency, or improve the technological process. In this paper, some characteristic parameters of processing in flat, extensive milling of solid wood of different species are analysed in order to determine the significance of the selected parameters, as well as their mutual influences on the required cutting power.
