“…Similar research in the field of stress analysis and transverse splitting of wood was carried out by several authors. Svore ň et al (2022) [11] dealt with the optimal conditions of the wood-sawing process, using circular saws, with regard to the quality of the wood surface. In the results, they evaluated the body of the saw blade and not the teeth penetrating the material.…”

“…The circular saw is one of the most used wood-splitting machines designed for transverse and longitudinal sawing of wood [7,10]. Svore ň et al (2022) [11] states that circular saws have an irreplaceable place in the longitudinal and transverse handling of lumber on the blank. It divides cross-cutting operations into two types: preliminary cross-cutting with excess and final cross-cutting to the required dimensions [7,8,12].…”

This research deals with the processing of wood using a circular saw, which is associated with several risks and factors that affect the wood-splitting process. One of them is the wear of the teeth of the saw blade that change the magnitude of the cutting forces. The aim of this study is to compare real measured values and theoretical values when processing Norway spruce wood using two types of saw blades, i.e., sintered carbide (SC) and high-speed steel (HSS), with a diameter of 600 mm and 54 and 56 teeth, respectively. Experimental measurements were carried out on a special test device with the possibility of moving the tested wood into the cutting devices and a simple saw blade replacement system. The results of the contributions show significant differences, based on defined factors which represent the cutting and feed speed, which are supported by FEM analysis of cutting forces in the process of cutting wood—when changing the design of the saw blade. The results of the experiment show that the cutting conditions (cutting speed and feed speed) do not have a significant effect on the size of the cutting forces. The theoretical and real stress values for HSS discs ranged from 14 to 22 MPa. Significantly larger differences were recorded for discs with SC, where the real values of the maximum stresses were around 14 MPa and the theoretical ones around 25 MPa. When cutting spruce with a disc with SC slices, the maximum values of the theoretical cutting forces were in the range of 76 to 94 N and the maximum values of the measured cutting forces were in the range of 40 to 44 N.

“…A few of scholars have studied the transverse vibration of woodworking circular saw blades during cutting, mainly focusing on the effects of saw blade diameter, rotation speed, clamping ratio, and feed speed on the transverse vibration of the saw blade [11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

The Transverse Vibration Characteristics of Circular Saw Blade on Mobile Cantilever-Type CNC Sawing Machine

A circular saw blade is a commonly used tool in wood processing. The transverse vibration of the saw blade plays an important role in processing quality during cutting and affects its service life as well. In the study, the transverse vibration of the circular saw blade was investigated at the constant rotation by the simulation using ANSYS software when changing the cantilever length of the cantilever woodworking CNC circular saw machine. Meanwhile, the transverse vibration of the circular saw blade without and with load was explored by the eddy current sensors for when the detection point was differently away from the center of the circular saw blade. The time domain, probability density distribution, and power spectrum characteristics of the transverse vibration signal were analyzed, and the simulation values were compared with the actual cutting data. The results revealed that under certain conditions, the maximum transverse vibration value of the circular saw blade was the smallest in the simulation, then the middle in no-load, and the largest in actual cutting. The maximum transverse vibration value of the saw blade was increased with the extension of the cantilevered overhang, but gradually and slightly, indicating the transverse vibration was hardly affected by the change in overhang length of less than 300 mm. The finding provides the reference for the structural optimization design of cantilever CNC circular saw machines and the promotion of its application.
