Effects of the technolology of machining on the surface quality of selected wood

Abstract

The paper deals with the dependence of using basic types of machining technologies on the surface quality of most common wood. In wood-processing industry, cutting by circular-saw blades and milling are the most often used technology to machining wood materials. The quality and accuracy of the machining are derived from the machine construction, shape and the amount of saw teeth, kind of wood species, feed per tooth and the size of the tool. Research was carried out on an experimental milling stand at setting various feed speeds and the spindle rpm, on an experimental cutting stand at using three types of circular-saw blades in the field of optimum and resonance rpm. Evaluation of the surface quality was carried out on a top multisensor apparatus Taylor Hobson-Talysurf CLI 1000 using a contactless method by a confocal sensor. Software equipment of a powerful computer was provided by the Talymap platinum program. Tree species were evaluated generally from the aspect of roughness and waviness altogether. An expert evaluation is carried out from two aspects. The first aspect is selection of the best technology for actual wood and the second aspect is selection of the best species for the actual technology. Particular relationships between wood and technology are evidently best described by graphs.
