Richlite Fibre-Laminate Sheets 48"x96"
|
Richlite is a very hard, durable, yet machinable phenolic resin and wood fibre laminate. This product is stable, abrasion resistant, moisture and chemical resistant.
Richlite is a great choice for durable models, actual working parts, foundry patterns and core boxes, prototype metal stamping dies, production patterns, draw dies, stretch dies, spinner dies, keller tracing dies, pattern plates, and templates. Because of the large sizes and choice of thicknesses, Richlite is also popular for countertops, workbenches, circuit boards, and flooring.
User Tips:
Sawing – Carbide-tipped saw blades are recommended for both circular and table saw cutting applications. The proper feed rate, combined with a sharp blade will result in coarse sawdust. All sawing should be performed dry.
Milling, Routing & Machining – Carbide cutters are recommended. The proper feed rate, combined with a sharp cutter will result in coarse sawdust. All machining should be performed dry.
Drilling & Tapping – The use of high speed steel drills and taps are recommended for short production runs and shallow holes. For longer production runs and deeper holes, use carbide-tipped drills and taps. When tapping Richlite Fibre-Laminate Sheets use a slightly smaller pilot drill than specified for the size tap required. This will assure optimum thread strength. Whenever possible, the piece to be machined should be backed up by another piece of scrap material to prevent chipping around the holes. Lift the drill frequently to allow chips to be removed and to prevent the build-up of excess heat. Holes drilled parallel to the lamination should be clamped or secured in a vise. All drilling and tapping should be performed dry.
Sanding & Buffing – Sanding can be performed by using a belt or disc sander, or by hand. Sand using the same procedures and techniques as used with wood. Dry sanding is recommended.
Bonding Richlite Fibre-Laminate Sheet – Lightly sand the mating surfaces to be glued. Use epoxy adhesives such as RenLam 1700-1 or Freeman 690.
