MondoClad®

MondoClad sheets can be fabricated into panels using various techniques.

• CNC Router

  • This equipment can be used for straight and contour cutting plus providing a V Groove for folding
  • When establishing a V Groove for folding, the minimum thickness left in the bottom of the groove should be 0.8mm
  • The spindle rotation speeds and feed rates are machine dependent and should be discussed with the manufacturer
  • In some circumstances a lubricant mister may be required with this type of machinery. Consult the manufacturer

• Vertical Panel Saw

  • This type of saw can be effectively used to cut and route MondoClad
  • Seek the advice of the manufacturer in the selection of appropriate tools
  • It is suggested that existing owner of vertical saws should look at retro fitting their equipment to add a variable speed driver controller and lubricant misting equipment
  • When creating a V Groove for folding, the minimum thickness left in the bottom of the groove should be 0.8mm

• Circular saw

  • The best result is usually achieved using a track guided circular saw
  • Discuss the blade selection with the saw manufacturer
  • The back of the panel can be V groove routed to allow for hand folding without the need of bending equipment
  • A depth gauge roller suitable for 3mm thickness may be required
