Plastics Seminar at AWFS® Vegas

The 2007 AWFS® College of Woodworking Knowledge® education program will offer a seminar entitled, “How to Improve Productivity and Edge Quality When Cutting Plastics.” The session aims to inform woodworkers of how they can maximize the capabilities of their CNC equipment in regard to plastics. It covers automating the process using panel saw technology, improving operator material handling options and reducing the overall cutting cycle time. The session will be delivered by Phil Bryant of SCM Group USA, a technical support pro. Bryant will also discuss how optimization software can increase material yield and will demonstrate how to get high quality edges and how to prevent chipping, crazing, melting or “blowing out” in production mode. The seminar, which will run on Thursday, July 19, is part of the early morning SMART! Sessions—the technically oriented seminars conducted on the exhibit floor, in the pre-show hours of 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Space is limited so early registration is encouraged.
