Pre milling Tools for Edgebanders

Pre milling Tools for Edgebanders

Pre milling features are more common on smaller edge banders now, rather than just on higher production machines. Pre milling encounters two counter rotating cutter blocks which are manufactured to mill the edge of the workpiece prior to adding the edge banding material. The PCD cutter blocks are set up to mill a specific amount
