RESUMO

The reforestation wood has great importance in the national economy, running important sectors, such as paper and the cellulose, energy resources, furniture and civil construction. Although Brazil presents a great forest potential, holding the biggest forest reserves of the world and possessing soil and climate conditions favorable to the implantation of forests of fast growth, its participation in the wood international trade (2.1%) is, still, very small. The techniques currently used in processing the wood, usually do not provide good income, neither propitiate good quality in the final product as well. Mainly due to the usage of inadequate parameters of the cutting process, along with inappropriate sawmill planning (implantation and Layout). This fact discloses, therefore, that the lumber sector needs the incorporation of technological innovations. The characterization of kinds of reforestation that respect the cutting parameters, such as, cutting force, adequate geometry of the tool, cutting thickness, density, etc., is essential in the processing of the wood. The main objective of this work was the determination of the main parameters of cutting (cutting force, specific cutting force and ideal exit angle of the tool), for the species of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) by the study of the behavior of the cutting force in different positions of the trunk and in different regions of juvenile and adult of wood. Beyond this objective, the work is intended, also, to evaluate the methodology of determination of cutting force for the wood of eucalyptus, proposed by the author in previously work. To reach these objectives, 96 specimens of the specie Pinus taeda were assayed, taken from 6 trees proceeding from a research forest of Manduri, S.P, resulting in 5760 tests. As a result, the force as function of the evaluated parameters had been determined for Pinus taeda, as well, the ideal cutting angle for specimens thickness environ 0.2 mm was near 40° and for thickness between 0.4 mm and 1.0 mm was near 30°. The specific cutting force was calculated for Pinus taeda, as well as for the Eucaliptus. The former with experimental results obtained in this work and the latter using experimental results obtained in previous work from the author. Finally, the results had proved also that the methodology adopted in this research is appropriated to use in the studied species.
