Overview
ABSTRACT
Wood processing is mainly carried out with the formation of chips. Machining techniques with chip formation are presented in forestry, sawmill and secondary processing. Other techniques are being developed in order to machine without forming chips: splitting, rotary cutting, slicing, clipping and using cutters. However, these techniques are far from replacing those which generate chips.

INTRODUCTION
Wood machining almost always involves the formation of chips. Although, for reasons of material and energy savings, we are seeking to reduce the volume of chips created, this method of machining is not about to disappear.
This booklet covers the main machining operations, with and without chip formation.
The use of woodworking machinery always involves a degree of danger (sharp tools, moving parts, etc.). That's why :
such machines may only be operated by specially trained personnel;
all equipment must be fitted with protection systems;
work equipment must comply with current regulations.
