Product catalog summary
Introduction
Kyocera Unimerco has developed a new tool named EQS, designed to improve the finishing process of MDF board edges by reducing the need for extensive after-treatment and painting.

Specifications and Features
The EQS tool addresses the common issue of fibre swelling on MDF board edges during milling. It utilizes friction to heat and redistribute the paraffin in the MDF, effectively sealing the edges and reducing the need for priming and painting. This process not only enhances the surface quality but also hardens the middle layer of the MDF edge, increasing its strength and reducing the risk of cracking.

Procedures and Recommendations
For optimal results, Kyocera Unimerco recommends using the EasyCut milling cutter before applying the EQS tool. EasyCut efficiently cuts fibres short with its dual-edge design, preparing the material for the EQS tool and increasing the feed rate.

Company Background
Kyocera Unimerco, established in 1964 in Denmark, specializes in manufacturing, distributing, and servicing machining tools and measuring equipment. It is part of the Japan-based Kyocera group, founded in 1959.

Less after-treatment of MDF boards Newly developed tool from Kyocera Unimerco helps to seal the edge of machined MDF boards, ensuring with less preparation and fewer painting processes you can achieve a great paint finish. The new tool from Kyocera, named EQS, saves aftertreatment on the edges of MDF boards, where customers often see fibre swelling, Egon Vingtoft, Sales Manager in Kyocera Unimerco, explains. - When MDF boards are milled, unfortunately, the fibres tend to swell like on a stiff brush. If you want the edge to have a surface of the same quality as the board, expensive priming and...

EasyCut prepares the material well for the EQS tool. Combining EQS with EasyCut for profile milling In order to benefit fully from the EQS tool, prior to smoothing, you should use the milling cutter EasyCut, Kyocera Unimerco stresses. - The EasyCut milling cutter is good for cutting the fibres as short as possible. EasyCut uses two edges: First, a roughing edge removes most of the material, and subsequently, the final surface is made using the finishing edge. In this way, EasyCut prepares the material well for the EQS tool. Moreover, EasyCut increases the feed rate, Egon Vingtoft explains
