Abstract :Determining wood machining properties and defining convenient usage areas for native wood species is important for evaluating surface quality. Wood machining is a performance criterion indicated after planing, shaping, turning, mortising, boring, and sanding. This study selected 2 softwood species insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(European black pine and cedar of Lebanon); as well as 2 hardwood species insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(sessile oak and black poplar);, which are commonly used and grown in Turkey. Preparation of samples and machining were carried out according to the 2004 ASTM D 1666 standards for determining machining properties. Sessile oak insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Quercus petraea); had an excellent performance in all machining processes. Black poplar insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Populus nigra L.); yielded the lowest results for the sanding test. A perfect surface quality was obtained with a feed rate of 8.6 m/min for hardwoods at a 25° cutting angle in planing, and at a 15° angle for softwoods.
