Özet

The prediction of optimal machining conditions for wood surface quality play a very important role in process

planning for furniture industry. In this study a mathematical model was developed to predict the surface roughness and

to determine optimal machining condition of European Black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold). Design of experiment was

used to study the effect of CNC machining parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut on arithmetic

average roughness (Ra). The optimization process was adopted by a combined approach of

central composite face-centered (CCFC) experimental design and response surface methodology (RSM). The second

order mathematical models in terms of machining parameters were developed for surface roughness using response

surface methodology. The results indicate that the most effective parameters were found in the interaction between

feed rate and spindle speed, and their contribution to the model value was 62.41 % on the surface roughness. To

achieve the minimum surface roughness, the optimum values obtained for spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut

were 18000 rpm, 2 m/min and 2.646 mm, respectively.
