In this study, effect of the number of knives, feed rate and cutting depth on surface roughness of some solid woods were investigated. The specimens were prepared of scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Turkish beech (Fagus orientalis L.), walnut (Juglans regia L.), and chestnut (Castanea sativa M.) and African mahogany (Khaya sp.) which are commonly used in furniture industry. Mitutoyo SJ-301 stylus scanner device was utilized to measure the surface roughness. The surface roughness was measured according to TS 930. At the end of the results of the tests, the smoothest surfaces were obtained with scots pine (3.56 μm) while the roughest surfaces were obtained with African mahogany (7.36 μm) among the wood species. Smoother surface could be obtained with 4 knives planing (5.41 μm), 5 m/min feed rate (5.38 μm), and 1 mm cutting depth (5.15 μm). In this study, the average surface roughness values of wood species could be estimated by means of the developed equations
