Lightweight Plywood Is A Great Choice of Material for Products Used in Transportation

Lose the weight

If you're manufacturing any product that ships then you are well aware of how that extra weight can equate to reduced profits. With our Lightweight plywood, the average weight savings is around 40% compared to similar high grade plywoods. In fact, a sheet of 3/4 inch Light weighs less than 1/2 inch of baltic birch! Lose the weight, save on freight.

Lightweight plywood is also a great choice of material for products used in transportation. Work trailers, camper vans, buses, and RVs can all benefits from weight reduction when it comes to reduced fuel and machine

Easy to work with

◆ Breath-easy adhesive, low dust, low VOCs

◆ Consistent density & tight thickness tolerances, great for CNC work

◆ Minimum voids & no footballs, no fillers required

◆ Exterior adhesive throughout for superior water resistance

◆ AA grade 200 grit sanded for reduced prep time

◆ Less weight, less manpower required for handling

Specifications

For best CNC results, we recommend the following:

For Edge Cuts, cutting a shape from a sheet, we use a .375” COMPRESSION END MILL set to:

18000 r.p.m. Spindle speed

450 inches/min Feed Rate

70 inches/min Plunge Rate

For Pocket Cuts, cutting a recess into a sheet, we use a .25” DOWN-CUT END MILL set to:

18000 r.p.m. Spindle speed

300 inches/min Feed Rate

47 inches/min Plunge rate

The type of CNC and the quality of the End Mills vary, so we suggest testing first for best results before any production.
