HANDLING AND STACKING OF WIN
TUFF BOARDS |
 |
|
|
|
Whether it is plain or prelaminated, care is to
taken during handling and stacking, to avoid any
damage. Maximum care is to be taken during the time
of dispatch by wrapping the board. Do not slide,
drag or drop boards and during transportation, off
loading to avoid any type of scratches or marks on
the board surface. Similar attention to be given
during unloading to avoid the damage of corners and
edges. |

STACKING |
|
|
|
Vertical Stacking
(Wrong Method) |
Horizontal Stacking:
* Stacking to be on a flat surface.
* Base boards to be used should be around 18 mm for stacking of
thinner boards.
* Wooden blocks to be kept at equal distance to avoid any type of
deformation while stacking.
Vertical Stacking:
* The vertical stack should be minimized as far as possible.
* Vertical support to be given before stacking.
* The gap between boards from one end to the other to be uniform. |

MACHINING
|
|
|
|
The uniformity of WIN TUFF gives excellent results
from all machining operations. Machined edges or
relief moulding can be finished to give a surface
equal to that of the face of the panel. WIN
TUFF can be sawn, routed, spindled, plained or
bored. The rate of the feed should generally be
lower than that used for natural wood and the
cutting edge should be kept thoroughly sharp. This
is particularly important for prelaminated boards. |

MACHINE SAWING |
|
|
|
|
Use tungsten carbide tipped saw blades for a minimum
of 80-90 teeth.
The cleanliness of the cut depends largely on the
projection of the saw blade above the board.
The Following precautions would ensure a smooth cut:
-
* The blade should be around 10mm above the board. Low blade
projection would create chipping or breaking of
board.
* If the board is to be chipped from the bottom side, lower the
blade projection.
* Board should be kept moving to prevent build-up of heat.
* Board should be pressed down properly against the cutting table
to avoid vibration, rough cutting and chipping of
edges.
* Blunt saw should be strictly avoided.
* Preferable rpm is 4500 - 5000. |
Use fine toothed saw
