A very simple design combined with high feed speed makes circular sawing theoptimal machining process for straight cuts in relatively cheap materials. Bladestability represents the main limiting factor for circular sawing, and therefore, blade thickness increase must be concomitant with the increase in cutting height and feed speed, leading to an increased kerf width and a decreased yield. Due to thegeometric structure of the teeth and the fast motion, this process also produces highlevels of noise. Additionally, the disintegration process creates chips and dust.Pneumatic collection of dust is a very expensive process, and it is estimated to represent approximately 30% of the total production costs (Seeger and To¨nsing 1999). The quality of the surface of the final processed material also depends on several parameters, with cutting wedge sharpness as the most significant influencing factor. Even if cutting edges of boards are rough when sawing technologies are used, adjustments in wedge geometry, number of teeth, cutting speed and feed speeds can achieve smoother surfaces.
