Real Stainless Steel Disclaimer: 

Exclusive to the following decors: M2178-99 Brushed Stainless Steel 

Homapal® stainless steel metal laminates cannot be sawn, drilled, or milled as with all standard laminates (HPL). Tools and application parameters must be adjusted specifically for machining the stainless steel laminate, as this considerably influences tool wear. The standard values for machining laminated board materials cannot be applied in this case.  

Recommendation: Tungsten carbide plates create burr-free edges at the stainless steel laminate when they are used with low cutting speeds (lower than 10m/min) and comparably large feed rates per tooth (larger than 0.5 mm). Diamond cutting edges are not suitable, as they break early due to the chemical affinity of carbon to the stainless steel layer. Cutting with feed goes along with less chip compression than cutting against feed. The result is: less generation of heat, less wear of the cutting edges and a better quality of the machined steel edges. Notice: Due to safety reasons, cutting with feed is only allowed in case of working with mechanical feed. Precautions should be taken to prevent dust during processing and local regulations must be complied with. Due to the fact that the material has very sharp edges and the small possibly of chips, gloves and safety goggles should be worn.
