This research aims to know the influence of variation of water content on the manufacture of wooden masks milling CNC router machining results 3 axis on wood , against the resulting surface roughness (Ra) in units where the results were good, and the influence of the influence of the variation of the tool path towards the process of machining time.
This research uses a mahogany material and use CNC milling Router 3 axis machining process control with mach3 performed with variations in tool path, and testing using a tool surface roughness test ruggedness (Roughnes Tester TR200 Type with an ISO standard).
Research results showed variation moisture content produces different levels of roughness on results of machining CNC milling router 3 axis, the level of surface roughness in machining CNC router milling process 3 axis with wooden material will result in a degree of roughness between up to N8 N7. From the test results can be known to the average roughness values (Ra) best of variations in tool path, obtained on the specimen to 2 with average roughness value of 1.567 μm
