Özet:

Mean chip thickness is a widely used parameter in determining the sawability characteristics of natural stones. Higher values of this parameter indicate more efficient machining conditions. It is influenced mainly by the operational factors such as sawing rate, feed rate of the sawblade and cutting depth. On the other hand, properties of the sawblade including sawblade diameter, diamond concentration and geometry of the segments and diamond particles are also known to be influencing factors. In this study, relations between mean chip thickness and sawability parameters such as cutting forces, specific sawing energy and specific wear have been experimentally examined under different machining conditions. As a result of the evaluations made, it has been shown that sawing efficiency is increased under the machining conditions in which the highest mean chip thickness is attained
