The force required for the creation of wood cuttings

Abstract

Wood as a material has its own peculiar role during processing due to its characteristics which depend on a number of factors. Therefore, wood-based plate materials tend to encounter the same issues. The creation of the continuous cuttings is conditioned by the strength as it is being cut orthogonally. The cutting force is shown as the sum of the forces for plastic deformation, the force for overcoming the work of the friction force on the front and rear surface of the tool and the force for creating a new surface. Each of the forces is connected to appropriate mechanical features of wood. Examining the mechanical properties of wood, which can be used to calculate the required power to create a new surface, demonstrates the dependence of cutting power on the type of wood, cutting speed, and wood moisture.
