CNC Spoil board Resurfacing
Watch as we resurface MDF on our Venture Cabinet Nesting Series CNC router.
Why do we resurface spoilboards?
– Remove top layer of board, allowing for better vacuum hold down
– Ensure the spoilboard is level or square to the machine. This allows you to maintain tight and consistent tolerances in regards to depth cuts
– After cutting a large number of sheets of material, the spoilboard is covered in cut marks, which can effect vacuum hold down. By resurfacing the board, you are removing those cut marks and creating a new spoilboard in the process.
When cutting, we suggest placing a rigid material under your cut piece so your bit can cut slightly through the bottom of your work piece, as well. You will end up with clean top and bottom cuts. After running production for a while, you will end up with a lot of holes, scratches, etc on this material. It’s always a good idea to work on a clean, flat surface. This is when you will want to clean up your spoil board. It is always a good idea to surface your material.
