Measurement, Holes and Edge Details in CNC-Cut Panel Projects

Measurement, Holes and Edge Details in CNC-Cut Panel Projects

CNC cutting in panel projects is not just sending dimensions to a machine. For compact laminate, plywood laminate panel or MDF laminate panel, dimensions, holes, fixings, edges, face direction and installation sequence should be planned together.

Information needed before CNC

  • Final part dimensions and tolerance
  • Material type, thickness and face direction
  • Hole diameter, centre and edge distance
  • Hinge, lock, leg or fixing plate information
  • Chamfer, radius, groove or custom shape detail
  • Quantity, part code and installation orientation

Material-specific notes

Compact laminate is dense and hard; tooling and hole planning matter. Plywood has a layered edge that should be considered visually. MDF laminate needs attention to surface tear-out, edge banding and moisture risk around open holes.

Production checklist

  1. Are drawing and part list on the same revision?
  2. Are dimensions final, or is site measurement pending?
  3. Is material thickness correctly shown?
  4. Are hole and groove depths defined?
  5. Is visible face direction clear?
  6. Is a prototype needed before production?

Frequently asked questions

It is very helpful, especially for larger projects. Clear dimensions, holes, thickness, quantity and edge details are the minimum.

Yes. Because it is dense and hard, correct tooling, feed and hole planning are needed.

For repeated or tolerance-critical projects, a prototype reduces installation risk.
