Effect of laser cutting of oak wood on the drying process

Abstract The subject of this paper is the analysis influence laser cutting oak wood on its drying process. research was comparison process and quality dried in samples cut by classical technology (sawing) with use laser. carried out two sets which were subjected to an identical Continuous moisture loss final attained, gradients before after drying, internal tensions monitored means fork test cut-test. content at end 8.09% for saw-cut 8.22% laser-cut samples, a difference only 0.13%. individual characteristics observed showed that did not have significant effect or sawn timber.
