Description

This is a sample of our High-quality A/B grade Ash Veneered MDF panel measuring approx. 98mm x 98mm.  This offers a perfect way of checking the suitability of a material without having to buy a complete sheet first. Check the finish of the material and get the perfect settings for your laser without having to practice on a full-sized/priced sheet.

This MDF panel is veneered on both faces of the sheet: A grade veneer on the front and B grade on the reverse.

Please note:

As wood is a natural product, there is often a crook or bow to the sheet. The natural twist might be in excess of 10mm (see below - Tolerances and Caution) .

A wood veneer is not like an artificial surface such as melamine or a laminate. It is cut from the log and therefore has its own unique grain, texture, and colour.

A Grade Veneer is a very high quality grading (typically the best you will see). The surface of the material will be consistent in appearance with no large variations in colour. Small pin knots are allowed and these would typically be only a few mm in diameter. This grade veneer is on the topside of this MDF sheet.

The B Grade Veneer underside shows the natural look of the veneer. There will be changes in colour that show the grain pattern. Sound, smooth knots are allowed and these will typically be under 15mm to 35mm in diameter (depending on the countries grading rules). The surface should normally be free from open knots and plugs. The material should be suitable for paint / stain or a lacquered finish.

There are two different cuts that can be used in veneer production:

  • 'Quarter Cut' are cut at 90 degrees, producing the effect of a straight grain.
  • 'Crown Cut' are sliced through the log, producing 'Crowns' and adding more character to the finish (as used on this product).

This product conforms to E1 (low) formaldehyde levels and is often described as 'Laser Grade' MDF but there is no official classification for this. We believe that E1 conforming MDF is the safest and best MDF for using in a laser cutter.

Features:

  • A/B grade Ash Veneered finish.
  • Veneer thickness approximately 0.5mm.
  • High quality wood and veneer, for great looking finishes.
  • MDF core.
  • Suitable for use in internal dry conditions as defined in EN 622 parts 1 and 5 and conforms to EN13986.
  • Low formaldehyde emissions.

Tolerances:

The manufacturing tolerance for the thickness of veneered MDF sheets include the tolerance for both the MDF and the veneer. The

total combined thickness of both the MDF and the veneer could be as little as 3.35mm and as much as 4.65mm. The veneer on each face could be as thin as 0.25mm and as thick as 0.75mm.

Caution:

  • As wood is a natural product there is often a bow or crook to the MDF, and in some cases a twist. We have measured in excess of 10mm rise between the flat centre of the MDF and the corner. These twists are completely normal If you are using this product on a laser cutter; these sheets should be strapped/taped to the laser bed before cutting.

Q:
I'm wondering if I could get this with a maple veneer, or any other light coloured wood that has a tight grain unlike ash. Beech, birch, limewood/basswood or such would be equally acceptable.
Asked by: G
A:
Hi, Unfortunately this isn't something we can obtain currently, however we do stock a flexible maple veneer sheet, 3249-flexible-maple-veneer-600mm-x-400mm-sheet and this could then be mounted onto a sheet of MDF.

Q:
Hi I'm looking at your 4mm Ash Veneered MDF, 600mm x 400mm sheet, I'm looking the sheet to be shiny both sides to use on my laser machine is this product shiny both sides, if not could you tell me which 4mm product is.

Kind Regards
Matthew Davidson
Asked by: Matthew
A:

The ash is an A grade on one side, and B grade on the underside. The A side does appear to have a slight shine to it as it has a better sanded finish. For a full description of the different grades please view our wood grading blog, plywood-grading-resource. We don’t do a product in 4mm which has an A grade on both sides.
