Abstract

Report of study of the peripheral-milling process of planing lumber. Relationships were determined between cutterhead horsepower and various combinations of specimen, cutterhead, and feed factors. Power demand curves are interpreted by comparion with simultaneous one micro-second photos of chips. Secondary consideration is given to quality of surface obtained. The cutterhead variables, feeds, and speeds are in range of theose commonly used in industry.
