Summary: | In order to study the wear pattern of router cutter material between High speed steel and
Solid tungsten carbide in cutting rubberwood MDF two type of router cutter material
(HSS and STC) were employed. The solid tungsten carbide showed the longest working
life (twice the cutting distance compare to high speed steel), while the high speed steel
retained its usefulness for only a short distance of cutting (tool life). It was confirmed that
the steel wore faster than tungsten. The observation show that solid tungsten carbide is
more suitable because it wear only a few micron compared to high speed steel in cutting
rubberwood MDF but high speed steel can be sharpened to improve it's performance but
at an extra cost and time. It is more economic and productive. Solid tungsten carbide is
the better alternative as there are many constrained. |
