Height and kerf match for scoring pairs.
This note records the two settings that matter most on a scoring set, score blade height and kerf alignment to the main blade. It suits panel saw work on melamine, chipboard and MDF where top-face breakout shows immediately. Use our contact form if you need the sheet added to your workshop resource pack.
Keep the setup sheet for the main blade with the material record for the board being cut. A scoring unit that is too narrow leaves edge chipping, while one that runs too wide marks the underside and wastes finish. Record the last proven setting so the operator can return to it instead of guessing from memory.
Compare the related entries under Blades, Materials, and Kerfs. Those pages help you confirm body thickness, cutting width and the board type before changing spacers or score width. For South African cabinet work, that matters most on white melamine, gloss panels and wrapped boards where edge damage is easy to spot.
Johannesburg dust, humid coastal air and mixed sheet quality all affect how a scoring set behaves through the day. Imported panels can vary slightly in face hardness, so yesterday's setting may not hold on the next pallet. Keep notes in millimetres and record the blade code used on the saw for repeatable resets.
Use our contact form with the panel type, the main blade code, the scoring blade code, and the cut direction if breakout is happening on the face or underside. Also check the scorer width against the main blade kerf before you send the message, especially on melamine, veneer-faced board, or wrapped stock from suppliers around Johannesburg.
