Working with Recycled plastic
This week we are covering a topic that often comes up when we speak to people about working with Recycled plastic on all kinds of projects.
Our recycled plastic products can be processed with conventional tools and machinery used in wood and metal processing. However, due to the properties of the material, we recommend the use of carbide-tipped tools to avoid tool wear.
For cutting, high speed band saws and circular saws with slightly crossed teeth, preferably carbide-tipped, produce the best finish. When bolting Recycled profiles together. The profile to be fastened must be pre-drilled. The hole must be larger than the bolt. We recommend elongated slots, to account for the temperature related expansion of the material.
