Abstract

Circular saw blades, either with carbide or diamond inserts, are customarily embedded in wood working machines once they permit a precise and efficient manufacturing of wooden products starting from raw-shaped solid wood chunks or laminate panels, allowing efficient processes and improving the overall industrial quality and competitiveness of the final product. However, the parameters associated with blade design must be defined with caution, aiming to avoid undesirable cutting performance and consequent relevant detrimental impacts on both processes and equipment. Thus, based on the literature, the present investigation intends to collect and gather a consistent information set regarding the effect of changes in tool design parameters on manufacturing, particularly in the case of wood machining by circular saw blades with reinforced tips. The general outlook provided aims at pointing out essential frameworks and practical guidelines for a better comprehension of the most adequate criteria to be used in the design and choice of tools for each specific manufacturing condition.

Highlights

  • A circular saw is basically a power-saw that adopts an abrasive disc with teeth and blades properly designed to cut materials through a rotational motion around an arbour

  • The material part to be worked is fixed in a vise while the saw is slowly moved across it, but other solutions use a fixed saw with materials slowly advanced toward the saw blade

  • Producers oversize machine tools and users are asked to undersize their process parameters, where a significant efficiency improvement margin in the whole supply chain is merely disregarded due to poor design [5]. This investigation intends to collect the most relevant information available on the effect of manufacturing design parameters and main process parameters in the case of wood machining using circular saw blades reinforced by diamond or tungsten carbide tips
