High-Speed Machining of Laminated Wood Panels

Shared by Peter
Peter demonstrates high-speed CNC machining of stacked plywood, highlighting the capabilities of contemporary woodworking processes.

Machining at Industrial Speeds
As seen in the video, a CNC router rapidly mills stepped pockets and slots into laminated wood panels at 10,000 mm/min and over 18,000 RPM. The use of a straight end mill and air-assist nozzle ensures clean pocketing and effective chip removal, resulting in crisp features on the plywood stock.

Technological Application
This process relies on ENCY CAD/CAM software to guide 2.5x and 3x milling operations tailored to woodworking applications. The software’s toolpath control supports precise routing on complex layered materials, contributing to both efficiency and quality in wood component manufacturing.
