Innovations from Leitz touch new heights and ensure absolute satisfaction in furniture and interior design industry. Furniture of the modern home today should be not beautiful, but multifunctional and to ensure that a piece of furniture can meet all requirements in terms of design, materials, size and functionality, the trend is moving away from a one-size-fits-all look to individual, mostly handcrafted solutions with a variety of user properties.
Solution 1: Sizing with scoring and main circular sawblade
The most traditional processing method is cutting with the help of a sizing saw. Craftsmen attach particular importance to the quality of the cut. As perfect as possible with tear-free edges on both sides and clean cut areas in all panel materials and decors, so that time-consuming reworking can be avoided.
Solution 2: Combining different cutting materials for panel sizing
Panel sizing saws are becoming more and more common in craft workshops. For a perfect cutting edge without further sizing steps, coated wood materials, such as chipboard or MDF as a single board, must first be pre-scored on the bottom side with a scoring circular saw blade and then sawn with a main circular sawblade. To ensure that the main and scoring circular sawblades function optimally, it is absolutely recommendable to match the cutting widths of the two circular sawblades to each other and also to service them in pairs after the end of the tool life.
A perfect example of how this works is the combination of RazorCut PLUS circular sawblades and DP scoring circular sawblades from Leitz. With its cutting geometry designed for finish cutting, RazorCut PLUS ensures perfect, breakout-free edges as well as smooth and score-free finishes, even in delicate decors.
Solution 3: Stationary technology (CNC)
CNC technology has become established as a manufacturing concept in many craft businesses, and the trend continues without interruption. Finally, complex workpieces and a wide variety of shapes and designs can be produced quickly and easily with the help of CNC machines.
CNC sizing with shank or jointing cutters
The aim of sizing with jointing cutters is to achieve tear-free edges on both sides. This is best achieved with diamond-tipped tools that have alternating shear angles – i.e. inclined cutting edges. However, this shear angle may only have a certain minimum size in order to reduce the cutting pressure.
Mitre cutting with CNC machines
Mitre sawing is one of the most demanding machining operations in the furniture and interior design industry. On 5-axis machining centers or with special CNC sawing units, inclined saw cuts at all desired angles can be produced very efficiently. In practice, it has been proven that circular sawblades specially designed for mitre cuts are an absolute necessity for this field of application.
Nesting process
In the so-called nesting process, nested shapes are cut from panel-shaped materials with the help of shank tools. Especially with delicate parts and high feed rates, CNC users are regularly faced with the challenge that the milled parts are displaced and damaged by the high-speed cutter during cutting.
