CUTTING AND FABRICATING PANELS ON SITE
Any of the panels can be cut or adjusted on site. This allows for site adjustments or adapta ons
to obstacles (such as fire alarm boxes or electrical boxes.) Wh
ng, make sure to
use sharpened tools to avoid any overhea g of the material. A
with a new blade
can also be used.
o
The texture of the panels are similar to MDF. A panel may be cut with:
§
Hand saw
-
Use a fine toothed blade. Hold the blade at a low angle. Cut slowly with
regular and even strokes.
§
Table saw or Circular saw
-
Allow the panel to pass through the saw with even pressure. Do not
force the panel at any me. Use a fine toothed blade with 80 teeth or
more. Carbide
ed blades are recommended for extensive cu ng or
if many panels are to be cut consecu
ly.
§
Jig saw
-
If adjustable, use a slower speed and steady movement. Select a fine
toothed blade suited for finish woods and plas cs and use a template
for cutouts. Be aware to not overheat an area with any blade.
o
empt to use routers or spir
ers. Laser tools are also not recommended.
o
Best results will be achieved by using only very sharp tools and blades, ensuring clean
while not overhea ng the material during the cut.
o
Carefully clamp all panels to avoid vibra
i
ibra
during
ng or
ay result in panel damage. Properly support the panel at all mes.
o
Carefully measure all walls to be confident that you can transfer those measurements
onto the panels prior to cu ng. Scribe to fit as necessary. Use a pencil to mark the
panel. If you must mark the face side, use blue tape before marking it. Pencil marks will
not erase from Zintra.
o
Zintra panels can be drilled. Carbide
eel drills are recommended to obtain a
high grade finish on the sides of every hole. Be
results will be obtained with slow to
medium drill speeds.
