RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Šebelová, Eva A1 Chladil, Josef T1 Tool Wear and Machinability of Wood-based Materials during Machining Process JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2013 VO 13 IS 2 SP 231 OP 236 DO 10.21062/ujep/x.2013/a/1213-2489/MT/13/2/231 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-201302-0019.php AB The article is focused on the machinability classification of wood-based materials resulting from experimental work targeted on the wear procedure of cutting edge. These types of materials are not currently classified into groups of machinability. Two representatives of the materials - laminated chipboard (DTD-L) and medium density fibreboard (MDF) were tested in the project. The process of material classification from the view point of machinability is well processed in engineering materials contrary to materials from wood processing. Experimental measurements were based on the determination of the radial tool wear. Tested materials were included according to achieved results in the material groups and their relevant classes. One of the most important classification indicators was the index of kinetic machinability KV. Material DTD-L has been selected as a reference sample - standard as the material most often used in woodworking industry.
