Performance Evaluation of Bamboo Scrimber under Planner Machining

Abstract:

This research evaluated the planing performance of bamboo scrimber boards at three feed speeds and three cutting depths and used two methods to assess the finished surfaces. A macroscopic grade assessment was made according to ASTM D 1666-87 for visible planing defects. The other assessment was a microscopic scale roughness test measuring surface average roughness in terms of GB/T 12472. The visible results showed that the finished surface quality of bamboo resulted mainly in Grades and , with the main defect being torn grain. The two evaluations method showed consistent results in surface quality that the highest percentage of Grade was counted and the lowest roughness value occurred. Compared with the hardwood Sawtooth oak widely used in furniture industry in China, planning quality of bamboo scrimber board is better in terms of roughness.
