Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CNC routing, using different parameters with the Taguchi experimental design, on the surface quality of various wooden (pine, spruce, and beech) edge-glued panels (EGP). The study evaluated five processing parameters: cutting direction, cutting depth, cutting width, feed rate, and spindle rotation speed, and their effects on surface roughness on pine, spruce, and beech EGP. Based on the results of statistical analysis of the burr surface roughness values, the mentioned parameters affected panels at varying levels. It was seen that the parameters were only responsible for ~34% (Rz) of the roughness on the surface of pine EGP, ~49% (Rz) of spruce EGP, and ~27% (Rq) of beech EGP. Statistically important parameters were as follows: cutting direction for pine, cutting depth (tip diameter) and feed rate for spruce, and cutting direction and feed rate for beech.
