Abstract

In this study a number of work-piece variations were evaluated whilst
limiting the cutting conditions. Eight wood species controlled at four
moisture levels were machined along and across the wood grain. The
tool used during cutting was designed to resemble a rip saw tooth with
zero rake angle and narrow edge width. Each work-piece variation
machined in the cutting tests was subjected to mechanical tests that
evaluated bending properties across the grain and shear properties
along the grain. The regression model establishes a relationship
between the bending properties for cutting forces across the grain, as
well as shear properties for cutting forces along the grain. F and R²
values show that the elastic properties of the wood in bending and shear
have less influence on the cutting forces when compared to the strength
and toughness. Additionally, density is seen to have less influence on the
cutting force along the grain. This is explained by the tool passing
through an unquantifiable proportion of early and latewood fibers from
the annual growth rings. Cutting across the grain, the tool is forced to
machine through approximately the same proportion of earlywood and
latewood fibres.
