Properties of wood Orthogonal cutting Peripheral milling parallel to grain Barking Sawing

The publications to be mentioned are mainly of a research nature, but trade journal articles have been included when judged to be of interest. While most of the literature is from 1972 and 1973, an attempt was made to include. important papers that had been missed in the earlier searches. Principal sources were archival journals in WQod science and technology, but Abstract Important wood machining research published during 1972 and 1973 is highlighted to provide the reader with a concise summary of activity in 17 fields of endeavor. The review is based on 427 references and contains 154 citations. Fields of activity covered include: History and general texts Properties of wood Orthogonal cutting Peripheral milling parallel to grain Barking Sawing Jointing, planing, molding, and shaping Boring, routing, carving, and turning Machining with coated abrasives Veneer cutting, chipping, flaking, and grinding Defibrating Properties of the cutting edge and cutter Computer, tape, and card control of machines Research instrumentation and techniques Machinability of species and reconstituted wood Safety, including noise IThe Research Paper, together with prior wood machining reviews and texts, provides a comprehensive set of abstracts complete from 1957 through 1973.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER is to highlight important wood machining research published during 1972 and 1973. No attempt is made to elaborate on the impact or significance of individual contributions. Rather, the style and format of previous reviews (Koch 1968, McMillin 1970) were followed in an attempt to give the reader a concise summary of activity in various categories of endeavor. --
