title = "Full-scale linear cutting tests towards performance prediction of chain saw machines",
abstract = "Preliminary results of a project supported by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (T{\"U}BİTAK) are presented in this study. Chain saw machines used for extraction of natural stones as blocks are introduced and parameters affecting chain saw performance are summarized. A set of full-scale linear rock cutting tests using chain saw cutting tools and some physical and mechanical property determination tests are performed on a block of white marble sample obtained from a quarry on Turkey in the laboratories of Mining Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical University. Using the full-scale linear rock cutting tests, tool forces and specific energy to cut a unit volume of rock can be found and optimum cutting conditions and tool pattern can be defined for a certain stone type.",
