Cutting

Before cutting any sheet material for a project the finished cut sizes are entered into panel cutting software to ensure that the project is processed in the most efficient manner.

We have two saws one specifically for cutting sheet material such as chipboard and mdf, and the other specifically for splinter-proof cutting of constructional veneers, plastics and plastic coated boards with milling unit for a precise cut.

Edging

We make use of a lipping press for applying solid timber to chipboard and MDF doors and panels, with its open front and ended design we are able to cater for any size substrate.

The glue line is cured by radio frequency waves in under a minute and trimmed flush to the surface by hand with Festool edge routers.

Calibrating

Panels and doors must be perfectly flat prior to veneering, if you're supplying free issue items we will do this for you.

Our wide belt sander is capable of calibrating sheet material from 3mm to 150mm thick by 1310mm wide, two heads each equipped with a 40grit belt provide a perfectly flat surface for pressing.

Pressing

The vast majority of our projects have decorative veneers, laminates or papers applied using the hydraulic hot press.

With Elkom heating platens we can guarantee a constant temperature across the platens.

We can also veneer shaped panels such as bow fronted doors and drawers, beveled edge panels and curved ends.
