Epoxy Sheets Cutting Guide: Tool Selection & Operation Techniques

However, due to their high hardness and brittleness, cutting requires specialized methods.

Here’s a professional guide to ensure efficient processing!

I. Cutting Methods & Tool Selection

1. Slitting Machine Cutting (Ideal for Large-Size Plates)

Tools: CNC slitting machine, circular saw

Advantages: High precision (±0.1mm), suitable for mass production

Notes:

Use diamond or carbide blades to prevent edge chipping.

Maintain cutting speed at 10–20m/min to avoid overheating.

2. CNC Machining (Complex Shapes)

Tools: CNC engraving machine, laser cutter

Advantages: Customizable designs for any shapes according your drawing with smooth, burr-free edges

Notes: 

Laser cutting requires smoke extraction equipment to handle resin fumes.

Recommended engraving tool speed: 8,000–12,000rpm.

3. Mechanical Machining (Milling/Lathe)

Tools: End mill, lathe tool

Applications: High-precision holes or curved surfaces

Techniques:

Use climb milling to reduce cracking risk.

Feed rate per tooth: 0.05–0.1mm.

Ⅱ. Post-Cutting Treatment & Safety Tips

Edge Finishing:

• Sand edges with 80–240 grit sandpaper or use a chamfering machine.
• Apply epoxy resin sealing for precision parts.

Heat Management:

• Apply water or cutting fluid during cutting to prevent softening/deformation.

Safety Precautions:

• Wear earplugs (for noise >85dB), gloves, and safety goggles.
• Check tool stability before operation to avoid debris splashing.

Conclusion:
Choose tools based on board thickness and precision requirements, prioritizing mechanical or CNC equipment for quality. Safe operation and proper techniques are critical! Contact us now for professional cutting solutions.
