Keep low angle of cut

HAND SAWING
 
   * Fine toothed cross cut saw should be used.
   * The saw should be kept at an angle to the plain of the board and not vertical.
 
 
 
SPINDLE MOULDING AND ROUTER
 
This process is carried out on a router and tungsten carbide tipped moulding cutters with a spindle speed of 3600 revolutions per minute and the material speed of 6-10 per minute.
 
EDGE SEALING
 
Edge sealing prevents the edge, from absorbing moisture. For shelving racks it is necessary to  seal edge with any of the following sealants.

   * Nitro - cellulose lacquere.
   * Epoxy resin
   * Polyvinyl acetate
   * Polyurethane resin
   * Synthetic wood primer
   * Synthetic enamel paint or varnish
 


Sand the edged of the
particle board


Edge sealing with paint, epoxy, veneer and melamine

 
LIPPING
     
The following could be used as lipping material

   * PVC Band
   * Melamine edge boarding
   * Solid wood strips
   * Aluminium Strips


Edge sealing with timber beading applied with glue


Edge sealing with PVC lipping applied with glue

 
SCREWING
 
WIN TUFF's high internal bond strength gives high screw retention strength, both in the face and edge over other types of panel products. The following condition must be observed to obtain best results.

   * Use pilot hole, and it should be slightly beyond the full depth of the screw penetration.
   * Do not use ordinary wood screw.
   * Do not hammer screw.
   * If screws are repeatedly removed use plastic or metal sleevs.
   * Distance of the screw from the corner is to be 100 mm on edge and 25 mm on face,

For best results direct NAILING on boards is strictly not recommended.
Use only long, full threaded screw and not partially threaded ones.
