Cutting tools for extruded plastic sheets (XPS) mainly include the following:
1. Manual tools
Hobby knife: suitable for small area cutting, simple operation, suitable for thinner extrusion board.
Hot knife: using high temperature cutting, can effectively reduce the debris generated during cutting, suitable for fine cutting.
Saw:
Hand saw: suitable for thicker extruded plastic boards, the use of strength and angle need to pay attention to.
Fine-toothed saw: can reduce the friction when cutting, suitable for precise cutting.
2. Electric tools
Electric cutting machine: suitable for large areas and long extrusion board cutting, high efficiency and uniform cutting.
Circular saw: can be cut in a straight line, suitable for large-scale construction.
3. Other tools
Cutting machine: special extruded plastic board cutting machine, according to the need to set the cutting thickness and depth, high efficiency and high precision.
Laser cutting machine: suitable for cutting with high precision and can be used for extruded plastic boards with complex shapes.
Precautions for use
Safety Protection: Wear gloves and goggles when cutting to prevent the debris generated during cutting from hurting your body.
Cutting environment: Ensure that cutting is carried out in a well-ventilated environment to avoid the generation of harmful gases.
Fixed material: Make sure the extruded plastic sheet is fixed during cutting to improve the stability and precision of cutting.
Choose the right tools according to the construction needs and cutting requirements to ensure the efficiency and quality of extruded plastic board cutting.
Extruded plastic boards are lightweight and can be cut by a hobby knife, precise cutting can also be done with electric wire cutters and slotters.
In short, no matter what tools, need to pay attention to safety when using.
