Using Different Types of Wood Panels

Using Different Kinds of Wood Panels

CNC router machine is widely used in woodworking industries. But for different types of wood panel carving or cutting, the CNC machine configuration is different, such as spindle power, holding table type etc. Below is some information about the wood panels types.

Plywood is a manufactured wood panel from the family of manufactured boards (such as medium-density fibreboard (MDF), particleboard (chipboard), etc.) made from thin sheets of wood veneer. Plywood layers (called veneers or plies) are glued together, with adjacent plies having their wood grain rotated relative to adjacent layers up to 90 degrees.

All plywoods bind resin and wood fibre sheets (cellulose cells are long, strong and thin) to form a composite material. This alternation of the grain is called cross-graining and has several important benefits: it reduces the tendency of wood to split when nailed at the edges; it reduces expansion and shrinkage, providing improved dimensional stability; and it makes the strength of the panel consistent across all directions. There is usually an odd number of plies so that the sheet is balanced—this reduces warping. Because plywood is bonded with grains running against one another and with an odd number of composite parts, it is very hard to bend it perpendicular to the grain direction of the surface ply.

MDF (Standard) E1 & E0 Available

Medium Density Fibreboard or MDF is a versatile wood panel product that differs from particleboard in that the wood chip is reduced to a fibre which in its raw form is similar to cotton wool. Resin is added in the manufacturing process to produce a panel that has a smooth surface on both sides and an even density profile through whisk makes an ideal substrate to router and groove. These characteristics also allow intricate and precise machining and finishing techniques when producing high-quality cabinetry components. The product is also used extensively for handyman projects as it offers a high-quality surface for sprayed and hand-painted treatments.
