Two sided melimine saw blade

6/21/16       
John Bishop


We are doing more and more commercial work where the norm appears to be melamine boxes. We use a Putsch Meniconi panel saw for the majority of our cutting. It’s a 12foot vertical panel saw. Does a great job, it has a scoring unit but we typically do not use it.

What blades are folks using on a vertical panel saw without a scoring unit. I prefer to just swap the blades frequently we have had much better luck. As blades have improved so much I think the scoring units may very soon be a thing of the past.

I need a 250MM blade with a 30mm bore for cutting two sided melamine chip free. I’m sure you guys are using blades like that. Do you mind sharing that information with me?

Thanks

Ask the saw distributor. I tried a number of blades on my Striebig. My local tooling sharpener recommended various ones and I was unhappy with the recommendations. Finally decided to ask the saw importer and their suggestion worked the best. I came to the conclusion a vertical, with the back scoring, required a very different solution than what the tooling guy was familiar with.

Got something funny in your coffee? A properly set up scoring blade will out cut any single blade, hands down! If your saw has scoring why not use it? You are chasing a duck that ain't gonna fly...

I believe that duck will fly for sure in a few more years. I am surrounded by other professional shops I talk with and they are all trying to get away from the scoring unit model. The blade manufactures tell me point blank the blades will do it within the next few years. I am a strong believer in keeping things simple.

I have done this stuff a long time and the scoring units are a pain in my ass, a lot of adjustments for something very simple. They will be gone in the next five years for sure as technology continues to advance in our industry

Ok John, we all need dreams of future improvements. I have scoring on my beam saw and Altendorf, both without complaints. There in no scoring on my Striebig so, I up-cut a few millimeters deep then cut down full depth. This actually works quite well.

Not having to set up a scoring blade would be nice. With the ability level of sharpening shops I don't see it happening more than once, when the blade is new. I used hollow ground blades when I only had a vertical, what a pain to get them sharpened properly. Scoring solved those issues.

Bruce H,

You said you had a Streibig; I have a Putsch Meniconi vertical. How do you control the depth of cut? We do not have that ability that I am aware of. I had never thought of doing that. How do you do it?

How old is your Streibig. What model? I looked at a few recently and was unimpressed, we had one years ago and it was great. It appears they are like so many others and sat on their quality and technology and did not improve it much did they. I really liked ours.

Mine is a "standard" and about twenty plus years old (green color). (my slats move in the rip position so the blade doesn't cut them) I control depth by rotating the handle part way as I pull up on the saw motor assembly making a vertical cut then rotating the handle completely and pulling down to make a full depth cut. (not sure how your saw works)

I had a newer Striebig Compact that had a riving knife that you adjusted to the depth of score you wanted. I liked it a lot after having a scoring table saw (Delta RT-31) and an Omga scoring radial arm saw(900SS). I learned to hate setting the scoring blades on those two saws. Yes, I had to change blades more often than with a scoring setup but it was worth it.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards.
