    Default Laminate cutting on Panel Saw

    Hello,
    I have a Holzma Horizontal panel saw that works wonderfully on most all materials I use. I have recently been getting frustrated with the laminate cutting though due to the fact that the material must be lifted as it retracts and returns toward the blade. If I do not lift the material, it catches on minor tall spots in the table or in grooves due to the bow in the laminate after storage. Any tips on what material to use as a sacrifice board or throw away material to keep the laminate/veneer/melamine up off the table?

    Just flip it over so the curled edges are up?

    The cheapest option for a backer might be corrugated cardboard?

    Sounds like maybe you need to make some adjustments on the machine?

    We are currently looking into corrugated material as a throw away board but I am just looking for more cost effective options. Always open for trying new things so I figured I'd ask. Thanks a lot! When I flip the material, I tend to get a lot of chipping. I have read that flipping the blade will help correct this but with our current required production, we get very little time to test out new ways of cutting.

    Are you using the scoring blade? If so, try turning it off. Or cutting slower

    No, our scoring blade has a reversed rotation so it is disabled when on laminates. My main problem is the table. The machine has been shipped all over the U.S. and is fairly worn so you can imagine the wear on the table. It has minor height differences here and there but the main blade channel that allows for blade pass and scrap removal catches the piece as the material advances.
