The cutting automation of boat's wooden pattern is strongly required to improve the productivity and quality of boats in leisure boat industry. This paper is concerned with the development of wooden pattern machining technology by the machining center. The leisure boat is designed with a 3 dimensional design s/w. The NC cutting data are generated in a CAM s/w and are verified using verification s/w. The cutting forces are monitored to analyse the cutting process. The surface characteristics of machined surface are investigated at various cutting conditions such as spindle speed, feed speed, the cutting direction of wood, and wood material.
