What is the minimum thickness of the laminate on which V-cut scoring can be applied?
V-cut scoring involves cutting the laminate to a certain depth (on one side or on both sides of the plate) to allow it to be later broken off from the panel. It is usually described with two parameters:
- Incision angle (standard 30°),
- Non-v-cut scoring thickness.
Thickness of the non-v-cut scoring item and the type of Non-v-cut scoring (single-or double-sided) is dependent on the thickness of the used base laminate. The dependencies are shown in the following table.
