FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to cut thick rigid board accurately?

Thick rigid board requires stable tooling and the right blade for the material’s density and thickness. Kongsberg cutting tables support precise processing while maintaining dimensional accuracy and clean edges.

Do you need a router or a knife to cut rigid board?

It depends on the material and application. Knife cutting is suitable for many board materials, while denser rigid materials may require routing or milling for clean edges, contours, holes and detailed finishing.

What rigid board materials can be processed on a Kongsberg cutting table?

  • Kongsberg cutting tables can process rigid materials including acrylic, foamed PVC, high-pressure laminate, ACM, MDF and wood. The appropriate tooling depends on the material, thickness and required finish.
  • How can you improve material utilization when cutting rigid board?

    Digital cutting helps improve rigid board utilization through accurate production and optimized nesting. This allows parts to be positioned efficiently on the sheet, helping manufacturers get more usable output from their materials.
