When the measurements of power consumed by cutting mechanism electromotor are made, the mechanical cutting power cannot be obtained, because they are different physical processes. However, determination of electricity power is relatively simpler. Therefore, both powers are determined in the study, in order to evaluate coherence between them. Computer numerical control machine was used for climb-sawing of aspen (Populus tremula L.) wood with a circular saw. Mechanical cutting power was calculated from measurements of cutting force, but the electric ones – from measurements of current and voltage. As a result, changes of both powers and of specific cutting work, on what the analytical calculation of cutting power is based, were obtained depending on length of the cutting trajectory. It is found out, that mechanical cutting power is greater than electric power, and it is useful to use for the analytical calculation, based on determination of the specific cutting work, wear coefficient of the cutter that depends not only on the duration of work of cutter, but also on feed speed and the length of the cutting trajectory.
