Why would I use a thin-cutting frame saw as opposed to conventional method of making veneer slats?
The thin-cutting frame saw is able to cut accurate veneer slats with less waste (up to 30%). For example, instead of getting 4 veneers out of a given block you may get 6 veneer slats, the number of slats produced will always depend on the size of the block being cut and the thickness of the slat being produced. This is especially important when cutting more expensive woods such as oak, mahogany, maple, cherry and other exotic species. The frame saw will produce a finish which is both accurate and ready for further processes such as face gluing for flooring, stiles & rails and other products. The traditional method of making veneer slats is with the use of a conventional band or re saw. Due to the inaccuracy and poor finish produced with a conventional band saw the parts produced required additional machining steps, in this case it would be sanding on both sides. This is of course time consuming and expensive due to the additionl labour and process costs. Because there are no further ma
