Abstract: Based on experiment of sawing Wulian red granite with diamond circular saw, the relations between the cutting force with machining parameters are studied. Cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth are considered as the process parameters. The cutting force in sawing granite operation are measured and the experimental results are then analyzed using response surface methodology. From the analysis, it is seen that the cutting force Fx , Fy and Fz are reduced with the increase of cutting speed and increased with the increase of feed rate and cutting depth, and the mathematical models of the cutting force are developed. By ANOVA for the cutting force models, It is concluded that the models are significant at 95% confidence level and the significant effects are the first-order of cutting speed, feed speed, cutting depth and the quadratic of cutting depth.

Abstract: . Experiments of sawing granite with diamond circular blades were carried out to study the energy efficiency in circular sawing. Energy consumed by machine spindle is classified into energy used without cutting and energy used with cutting. The energy used without cutting almost increases with the improvement of peripheral speed of blade. The energy consumption coefficient, the ratio of energy used with cutting to total energy consumed by spindle, increases with the increase of material removed rate, which reveals that higher material removed rate is favor for improving energy utilization. A fixed trend of energy consumption coefficient versus material removal rate was found and it might be useful for selecting cutting parameters for low energy sawing.
