4. Results and Discussion
- The study focused on pinewood, and these findings may not be directly transferable to all wood species.
- This study employed a standard industrial drill and manufacturer-recommended parameters. However, variations in machine tooling, drill type, and machining conditions (rotational speed, feed rate) could influence the observed results.
- We used a 5 mm pilot hole and a standard furniture euro-type screw. Other screw-pilot hole dimensional combinations may result in different results (especially since the screw withdrawal force is very strongly correlated with the pilot hole diameter).
5. Conclusions
- The use of sharp drill bits results in precise pilot holes, facilitating the secure engagement of screw threads with wood fibers and enhancing withdrawal resistance. In contrast, dull bits can produce potentially oversized holes due to increased force and vibration, leading to reduced grip between the screw and wood and, consequently, lower SWR.
- Worn drill bits generate larger chips, which can impede chip evacuation and lead to hole deformation. This results in damage to the interior surface of the hole, lowering SWR.
- Dull drill bits generate excessive heat, charring the wood around the pilot hole and reducing friction between the screw and wood, leading to weaker SWR.
