 INTRODUCTION

Since time immemorial, man has worked with wood using metal tools. Over the centuries, these tools have been modified and adapted to new species and materials. They have also benefited from new technologies.

Today, these high-performance woodworking tools require a great deal of knowledge if you are to benefit from all their qualities.

The aim of this dossier is to provide, in condensed form, as much information as possible to help readers better understand the cutting process, and thus make the most of current technology.

It should be pointed out that this document deals only with machining with cutting tools, and that other forms of machining, using different techniques (e.g. laser), are covered in the dossier. .
