Abstract:
Motivations in favour of milling “against feed direction” in opposition to milling “in feed direction” are known. They are justified by studies (Alexandru ş.a. 1969, Tăran 1971, Pahlitzsch 1977, Dogaru 1981, Zerizer 1988, Juan 1992, Ispas 1997) concerning the modality of chip formation, with implications on the dynamics of chip detachment, quality of processed surfaces, geometry of cinematic undulations, control of the feed motion etc. Unfortunately, no comparative studies of the energy consumption during the two milling procedures for absolutely identical conditions (wooden material, machine-tool, tool, devices, cutting conditions) have been performed (or, better said, no such references are available). It is exactly this gap in reference literature to be partly covered by the present paper.

 Key words:wood milling, milling “against the feed”, milling “in feed direction”, energy consumption.
