Machining of Endurapanel Panels

Drilling

Drilling EnduraPanel is easy, and professional results can be achieved following these guidelines:

Always drill into a sacrificial panel of MDF or similar

Many different drill forms have been assessed and work well but all should have the cutting edge ground off (blunt) so that the drill ‘scrapes’ rather than ‘cuts’ the EnduraPanel

High cutting speeds are advised. Be careful to back off the drilling pressure when breaking though the bottom of the hole

DRILL GEOMETRY

MACHINE DRILLING

Specialised drills are available for drilling EnduraPanel.

Most are designed to be used in either CNC machinery or at least a drill press.

HAND DRILLING

In most site applications, drill bit options are minimal. In this case the best option is to use a blunt drill as shown.
