Effect of cutting speed on surface quality by bandsawing

Abstract

The surface profile behavior of workpieces sawn has been investigated. Six species were sawn under the condition of four different kinds of cutting speed by the band saw. The real surface profile of a sawn workpiece is composed of two sections, which are the additivity of the waviness of filtered wave and roughness curve. The roughness of center line average as well as amplitude decrease with the increasing of cutting speed for different kinds of species used in the experiment.
