Mechanical cutting

Mechanical cutting of Strenx® 1100 is best performed with guillotine shears. Consider carefully the settings of the cutting machine. The most important factors are clearance, cutting angle and blade hardness. The plate should be allowed to warm up thoroughly to around +20°C before it is cut.
