“…Surface quality of solid wood products is one of the most important properties infl uencing further manufacturing processes such as fi nishing (coating) or strength of adhesive joint (Kilic et al, 2006; Aguilera and Muñoz, 2011; Ugulino and Hernández, 2016). Nevertheless, determination of surface quality in planing is a complex process depending on the heterogeneous structure of wood species (Belleville et al, 2016;Malkoçoğlu and Özdemir, 2006;Malkoçoğlu, 2007;Sofuoğlu and Kurtoğlu, 2015), kinematics of the cutting process (Hernández and•Cool, 2008;Gottlöber et al, 2015), and machining conditions (Jokerst and Stewart, 1976;Malkoçoğlu, 2007;Minami and Nishio, 2015;Stewart, 1980;Ugulino and Hernández, 2016).…”
