Abstract:
Wood-based composites such as OSB, MDF, plywood are more and more intensely used in industry and constructions. To process these materials, diamonded tools are often employed. The paper presents a serie of experimental researches concerning the workability of these wood-based composites by routing with diamonded tools, in order to bring new contributions regarding the exploitation of these tools.

Key words: wood-based composites, routing, diamonded tools, energy consumption, processed surface quality, wear.
