Check any online forum where machinists share ideas, and questions about how to cut aluminum properly on a CNC machine pop up on a regular basis. Identifying the proper tools, correct speeds and the importance of chip extraction are all hot topics keeping these boards alive. But there’s one thing about cutting aluminum that warrants […]
The popularity of using a CNC machine to cut cotton sound absorbing panels is on the rise. These lightweight panels provide a great barrier to blocking out noise, especially where echoing is a problem, like a recording studio or gymnasium. Popular applications include walls, ceilings, or even the corners of a room. With so many […]
The benefits of using rigid foamboard extends beyond typical wall insulation. When applied to duct board, it’s both an efficient and economical way to stop air leaking out of ducts that are cracked or improperly installed. It also stops water dripping when condensation forms due to cool air traveling through warms areas of a building. […]
The popularity of using rigid foam sheets as a source of insulation is increasing. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, foam insulation helps to save more than 200 times the energy needed to make them. Not only is this a more environmentally friendly option, but it helps you save money by lowering the cost […]
When it comes to cutting foam of different thicknesses, the “one tool cuts all” approach won’t work. This is especially true if you’re cutting polyurethane (PU) and polyethylene (PE) – two of the most common types of foam used in packaging. PU is hard and high density, so a router cutter will easily do the […]
The last thing you want to encounter when you’re in the middle of an important production run is a machine malfunction. This can happen any time, with any machine, regardless of how much money it cost. Reasons for this can be anything from improper operator training, to using the wrong type of tools or not […]
Manufacturers today must produce at a higher output if they want to keep ahead of the competition. This is a difficult task if you don’t own a CNC machine. And impossible if your machine is of poor quality and constantly breaks down. To stand out and make significant increases to your ROI, you need a […]
