Machinability Defects in Laminates Caused By Tool Wear
Decorative laminates of improved and uniform machining quality were developed after a comprehensive study showed that abrasive agents in the laminating papers were the sole reason for machining problems. Decor […]
Forest Products Journal 1974
Machinability of Hardboard
Briefly describes sawing, drilling, dye cutting, routing or shaping, and machine bending tests for hardboard. Hardboards should be machinable without plugging the cutting equipment, or causing surface defects or edge […]
Forest Products Journal 1952
Machinery for Sanding Wood
Machines used for preparing wood for finishing can be divided into two general groups, one of which includes machines designed to sand different types of parts by simple changes in […]
Forest Products Journal 1952
Machinery Replacement in the Furniture Plant
The average furniture plant uses both machines and methods which are often unsuitable and obsolete, and manufacturers have been notoriously reluctant to try anything new. Modern plants are planning layouts […]
Forest Products Journal 1955
Machining Ponderosa Pine and Douglas-Fir . . . Effect of Growth Rate and Density
Slow-grown ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir with a greater number of rings per inch showed smoother cuts in turning, boring, and mortising tests. Samples were also planed and shaped, and all […]
Forest Products Journal 1960
Machining Tests of Wood with the Molder
Quality of wood finish and power consumption were studied as a function of feed rate, cutterhead speed, cutting angle, type of knife, and wood moisture content. Species evaluated were yellow […]
Forest Products Journal 1954
Machining the serpentine end matched joint – a tool for improved utilization of low-grade lumber
Hardwood Symposium Proceedings 1977
Machining Wood with Coated Abrasives
The life of an abrasive belt is governed by the abrasion resistance of the grit particles, and by the loading of the belt. The first depends on the abrasive material, […]
Forest Products Journal 1954
Machining Wood with Light
Results of preliminary tests showed that wood can be machined in a controlled manner using a laser beam. Tests were conducted using a synthetic ruby laser with a maximum energy […]
Forest Products Journal 1963
Machining-induced subsurface damage of wood
As wood is machined, characteristic chip formation mechanisms take place while the work piece is exposed to severe, but very localized, forces. The result is deformation of the material, concentrated […]
Forest Products Journal 2004
Machining, Handling, Flow of Materials and Control in Gluing
In a successful gluing operation, it is necessary to avoid designing a structure which will create inherent stresses due to imbalance. It is important to do all the machining necessary […]
Forest Products Journal 1951
Maintenance and Operation Practices for Tungsten Carbide Tools
Presents actual applications, such as for saws, router bits, jointer heads, and moulder heads, of tungsten carbide tools in the woodworking industry, with emphasis on the care and maintenance problems […]
Forest Products Journal 1948
Manufacture and Use of Wood Particle Board
Wood particle board to be used as a substitute for lumber should have the following characteristics: 1) dimensional stability equal to wood, 2) even density through out, 3) good screw […]
Forest Products Journal 1956
Manufacture of Quality Yellow-Poplar Studs Using the Saw-Dry-Rip (S-D-R) Concept
Hardwood studs are not generally marketed in the United States because of manufacturing difficulties, especially excessive warp due to longitudinal growth stresses. This paper describes a new, economically viable system […]
Forest Products Journal 1983
Mathematical Model for Determining the Quantity of Materials Produced in Sawmilling
A mathematical model is presented for accurately determining the volume of flitches, sawdust, and slabs produced from the kerf-centered live sawing of hardwood sawlogs assumed to be in the shape […]
Forest Products Journal 1982
Measuring Machine Capabilities
Machine capability studies put a numerical value on variability as a basis for improving quality and recognizing variability that can be reduced. Methods compared are X and R chart, multi-vary […]
Forest Products Journal 1960
Measuring Wood Surface Smoothness-A Review
An extensive review of literature related to measurement of wood surfaces showed that many widely varying techniques have been used. Three methods predominate-visual, light sectioning, and stylus tracing. To date, […]
Forest Products Journal 1970
Measuring Wood Surface Smoothness: A Proposed Method
A precise method for measuring wood smoothness would be useful in research as well as manufacturing quality control. Stylus tracing seemed the most suitable and a device developed that was […]
Forest Products Journal 1971
Mechanism for Feeding Lumber Into a Multiple-Saw Lumber Trimmer
A means for loading a multiple-saw trimmer is essential for maximum production. This device is simple, accurate, effective, and has few moving parts. It is timed with the trimmer log […]
Forest Products Journal 1964
Method for Waferizing Balsam Poplar
When waferizing balsam poplar, waferizer knives eventually can become wrapped with gelatinous fibers which reduce their effectiveness and result in poor quality wafers and an increased amount of fines. Using […]
Forest Products Journal 1985
Methods of Measuring Die-Cutting Shear Strength of Hardboard
The die-cutting shear strength of 1/8-, 1/4-, and 3/8-inch-thick standard and tempered hardboards were evaluated by both the Johnson double-shear tool and the ASTM D 732-46 shear test for plastics. […]
Forest Products Journal 1972
Microscopic Characterization of Slip Lines and Compression Failures in Wood Cell Walls
Polarized light microscopy is used to observe slip lines or “slip planes” and compression failures in Douglas-fir, Japanese larch, and white pine when cut with a microtome knife. Various positions […]
Forest Products Journal 1968
Milling Applied to the Modern Distribution Yard
An East Coast distribution yard for western lumber is designed to handle large and small orders for millwork of both standard and special types on short order. Twenty percent of […]
Forest Products Journal 1955
Moisture Content of Southern Pine as Related to Thrust, Torque, and Chip Formation in Boring
Holes 3-1/2 inches deep were bored with a 1-inch spur machine bit in southern pine having specific gravity of 0.53 (ovendry weight and volume at 10.4 percent, moisture). The bit […]
Forest Products Journal 1972
Motion Energy of Wood Particles
Analyzes energy expended in removing sawdust shavings, or chips in sawing and planing operations. If the saw velocity, width of kerf, and unit weight of the material being cut are […]
