The influence of technological parameters on the surface quality of machined maple wood in the orthogonal linear cutting was studied. The experiment was carried out in 2 parts. First the impact of the tissue angle was studied, where the tissue angle ranged from 0° to 90° in stages of 22.5° (0° is radial texture and 90° tangential texture). The blade rake angle and the chip thickness was 20° and 0.1 mm, respectively. Then the influence of the blade rake angle and the chip thickness on the machined surface was studied. The rake angles were: 5°, 15°, 25° and 35°; and the chip thicknesses: 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm and 0.15 mm. In both parts of the experiment 2 cuts for each combination were made, and after each cut 2 surface profiles on earlywood and latewood with surface roughness tester were made. Based on those measurements the parameters Ra, Rz in Rmax were determined. The results show that the best surface quality is at tissue angle of 22.5°, chip thickness 0.05 mm and the blade rake angle of 15°.
