| Saw Cutting |
| You can cut WILLSTRONG panels easily running saws and panel saws for woodworking. The carbide tip blade made for aluminum composite panel is recommend preventing edge ragged. |
 |
|
| Shear Cutting |
Large projects can use rise and fall electricity saw, dig saw, circularity set saw and so on to cut off with beeline.
Small projects can use portable electricity saw, electro motion fret saw or handsaw and so on to cut off with beeline and curve. |
 |
|
| Channel Processing |
It's important to make the U type slotting process with a distance of 0.2-0.4 mm from the polyethylene substrate. We recommend 110° of a grooving angle for 90° bends. Panel saw or NC routing machine is suitable for large quantities U channels process. |

|
| Router and Trimmer: |
Use a modified router bit as shown in the drawing. |
| Number of teeth |
2-4 |
| Number of rotations |
20,000-30,000 rpm |
| Feeding speed |
8-12 m/min. |
| Material |
Solid carbide or carbide tip |
|
|
| Groove Cutter: |
When processing a large quantity of WILLSTRONG panels, use a circular saw or panel saw equipped with a groove cutter |
| Material |
Carbide tip |
| Outside diameter |
220 mm |
| Number of teeth |
18 |
| Number of rotations |
3,000 to 5,000 rpm |
| Feeding speed |
10-15m/min. |

|
| Folding |
If operated on the platform, bending part can be made very tidy. Platen puncher, plate folder or bending dies are applied as bending equipment. The recommended temperature for bending is over 10℃. |
 |
|
| Bending with Press Brake |
In case of bending WILLSTRONG panel with a press brake, dies shall be placed on with appropriate radius.
Notice:To avoid destroying the aluminum surface. Fiber with hardness should be added in the center and the top of the mould to protect the surface |
 |
|
| Bending with Three Roll Bender |
Three-roller panel bender is more preferable for bending of large internal diameter to plate folder , slit the curving edge before bending, and the curved minimum inner arc radius is fifteen times than the thickness of the panel . |
 |
|
| Drilling |
The drilling of WILLSTRONG panel can be achieved with twist drills normally used for aluminum and plastics on machines common for metals. By using high-speed, low feed, occasional rising of the drill and blowing with compressed air, the swarf will be rapidly removed. |
 |
|
| Plane and Filing of Edges |
When using a jigsaw on WILLSTRONG panel, swarf is often left behind on the edges of the sheet. For removing this swarf and finishing off the edges, plane-cutting files work best. Files with screen-like perforated roots, or tools with very coarse or rasp-like cut are recommended for filing . |
 |
|
| Rivet & Bolt |
Use an aluminum blind rivet for junction of WILLSTRONG panel. Do fixing work from the same direction, and use a stainless steel bolt/nut. Considering from deformation limit, formul e>2D is the best calculation way of aperture D and distance from hole center to plate end. |
 |
|
| Welding （For core PE material only） |
| The core of WILLSTRONG can be successfully welded with polyethylene welding rods or hot air gun. Reinforcement on the welded joint is recommended |
 |
| |
panels can be shaped with ordinary aluminum processing and woodworking machines and tools: It can be shaped into various shapes according to the requirements of building designs. It is incomparable for other decorating materials.
