Panel furniture cutting

One of the key steps in making furniture is cutting. The cutting of panel furniture refers to cutting, tenoning and punching the panel according to the requirements of design drawings, so as to prepare for the subsequent splicing, assembly, painting and other processes. This paper will introduce the operation steps of panel furniture cutting in detail.

Preparatory work/about to start work

Before cutting panel furniture, you need to do some preparatory work:

Prepare required plates, design drawings, knives, etc.

Check whether the quality and size of the plate meet the requirements, and replace it in time if there is any problem.

Determine the cutting direction and quantity of the plate according to the design drawings.

Clean and debug the tool to ensure its normal use.

cutting plate

Cutting board is the first step in cutting board furniture. It is necessary to determine the size and shape of the plate according to the design drawings, and then cut it with tools such as sawing machine or chainsaw.

In the process of cutting plates, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Keep the blade of the sawing machine or chainsaw sharp to avoid burrs on the plate.

Cut according to the requirements of design drawings to minimize waste.

In the process of cutting, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the plate and avoid the situation of sticking and breaking the knife.

Tenon joint

Tenon means that convex and concave tenons are opened at both ends or around the plate for subsequent splicing and fixation. There are two ways to tenon: manual tenon and mechanical tenon.

Manual tenoning requires tools such as saws and planers, which is cumbersome to operate, but it can be adjusted and modified as needed. Mechanical tenoning machine and other professional equipment are needed, and the operation is simple and fast, but the tenoning machine mold needs to be prepared in advance.

scuff

Punching refers to opening holes in the board for installing hardware fittings, conduits, etc. There are two kinds of punching methods: manual punching and mechanical punching.

Manual drilling requires tools such as drill bit and hammer, which is laborious to operate, but it can be adjusted and modified as needed. Mechanical drilling requires the use of professional equipment such as drilling machine, which is simple and quick to operate, but the drilling die needs to be prepared in advance.
