Cutting

Wood plastic composite boards can be cut and trim on any of the following panel processing
machinery used for modular furniture making.

Sliding table panel saw

It is an upgraded version of a conventional bench saw incorporated with the features essential for panel sizing as described above. The accuracy of the relative movement between the fixed and the sliding parts of the table is very high. A scoring saw is integrated in the machine for cutting pre-laminated boards without chipping. The operation is still manual in the sense that the person has to push the board against the cutter block manually. The sizes what Hallmark offers for table are 3200 mm, 2800 mm, 1500 mm & 3000 mm. At the same time machines with tilting, pneumatic clamping, motorised saw up & down, fully PLC controlled options are available in the range.

Beam Sawing

This is a heavy duty or high performance machine which can give higher output by getting cut number of wood panels together. It is carrying specified cutting height and can cut 4 or more boards together in a single time. Advance versions of this machine are available which can be programmed for various cutting sizes to give customised cutting solutions. Larger furniture factories and mills for MDF and Particle boards need to use this machine.

Trimming

Trimming machine is used to trim the additional edges left after manual Edgeband operation. It’s a very simple and low cost machine. Trimming can be available with scrapping or buffing operations also.

Traditional carpentary on WPC

Apart from regular panel processing machineries, WPC board can be chiseled with conventional carpentary tools like Chisel, Planer, shaper, hammer, hand drill ,table saws,circular saws, routers or meters and plier.

Band saw

Band Saws High speed steel blades normally recommended for wood or

plastic can be used with in the following guidelines.

– 4to8 teeth per inch

– Cutting speed: 3,000 to 5,000feet per minute

– Feed! up to 40 feet per minute

How to Use

1.) Support both sides of the saw and lumber. PVC lumber may be longer than wood

lumber, and the boardmay move damingcutting without proper support.

2.) Red uce the speed of your saws or router to no more than 15,000 RPM if your

equipmenthasthecapability. This reducesdust.

3.) Saw the lumber in the same way you would saw wood lumber. Push thin lumber

through a table saw with a push block to guide it to protect your hands and reduce

chatter.

4.) Hide sawn edges if Needed– Sand with 100-grit paper on an orbital sender on cuts

that will be exposed.

Recommendations & Tips

1.) Cut with carbide-tipped blades, because WPVC makes steel blades dull too quickly

and causes rough edges.

2.) Brush all dust from the saw immediately after cutting. PVC dust is statically charged

and sticks to everything.

3.) Check your saw blades for wear before beginning. Ensure that your tool is aligned

properly. If the tool is improperly aligned or the blade is dUll, the cut edges will be rough.

4 ) Blades with more teeth produce a smoother cut.
