Cooling with vortex tubes
Vortex tube cooling can increase tool life for wood machining.
Electrical charges during wood machining
Electrical discharges between cutting tool and workpiece can occur when cutting wood, especially green wood.
Burning, glazing from machining
As with raised grain and fuzzy grain, burning and glazing result from one or more factors.
Reducing wood machining failures
In wood machining, the milling cutters have two major rake angles: radial and axial.
Dealing with raised grain
Proper tool geometry, tool and machine maintenance and wood seasoning all produce a satisfactory surface.
Comparing high-speed steels for wood machining
Proper heat treatment is as important as the selection of HSS for tooling.
Avoiding high-temperature machining defects
As with raised grain and fuzzy grain, burning and glazing result from one or more factors.
How to avoid chip prints
Identifying causes of chip prints is the first step in reducing them
Dealing with raised grain
Proper tool geometry, tool and machine maintenance and wood seasoning all produce a satisfactory surface
How to minimize fuzzy grain
Proper clearance and rake angles can help prevent this problem
