Spoilboard and Wasteboard Matrial

Post by Bill OConnell »

Are the spoilboard and the wasteboard the same material or is one low density fiberboard, the other medium density fiberboard, Rangerboard, etc.? Also most panel suppliers seem to carry 5x10 sheets of 3/4 material but fuew that I have found carry 5x10 sheets of 1/4 material. Does anyone know of suppliers in the NY Metro area?

Hi Bill,

The spoilboard that comes with the machine is 32 lb density and the wasteboard is 48 lb density. If you are not machining 5 x 10 sheets, you can use a 4 x 8 wasteboard. I belive that we have to machine both the spoilboards and the wasteboards here to the correct dimensions because we order it oversize. Hope this helps.
