Stellenbosch laminate tops

Laminate top scoring in Stellenbosch

This record comes from a wine-estate kitchen in Stellenbosch where laminated tops needed a clean face cut before final sizing. The setup used a scoring pair ahead of the main blade so the decorative surface would break neatly at the line. Board handling, kerf width and chip-out checks mattered more here than long production volume.

First boards were photographed and archived once the scoring line looked right on the laminate face. Flanges were cleaned before fitting, and the handover notes captured stock type, cut direction and what the operator saw on the first passes.

What this Stellenbosch record cannot cover

One completed cutting setup is recorded here, not every condition found in another workshop. Motor size, spindle condition, extraction load and the laminate brand can all change the result on site. Cape winter moisture, stored board temperature and feed pressure should still be checked before repeating the cut.
