Machine for the production of lining: we do everything ourselves. Do I need to buy a machine for making lining? Floorboard making machine

Eurolining, block house, floorboards with grooved ends and similar molded wood products are popular and expensive materials, if there are available raw materials and a need for a large volume, it is advisable to consider purchasing special devices for making them yourself. Taking into account high demands In addition to the geometric accuracy of such products and the complexity of grooving, the best results are achieved using machines that process the workpiece in one pass, with the ability to adjust the spindles.

There are two ways to get eurolining at home: making it yourself from a pre-calibrated board using a milling cutter, or feeding it into a four-sided device with adjustable cutters. The principle of operation of the latter is common to all, their classification is conditional. Design features include:

The presence or absence of automated control.
The number of spindles (varies from 4 to 8) and how they are controlled (manual or mechanized). The more clamping shafts, the more complex and precise the workpiece is.
The type of bed (one-piece or prefabricated) and the material of its manufacture.
Mobility of equipment for the production of lining. Functions after installation and secure fixing in a stationary state, but the weight and dimensions of some options allow them to be used as portable ones, others do not.

Each professional four-sided machine has two main components: a workpiece feeding system and a working cutting part. High requirements are put forward for each of them: with a weak fixation of the boards, the plane of the products will not be parallel, the risk of displacement of the grooves increases. The performance of the cutting unit depends on the speed of the spindles and their balance.

In general, when choosing, take into account:

Expected productivity, directly related to the feed rate of workpieces. For the manufacture of eurolining for sale, you need a device that produces at least 250 running meters / h.
The recommended minimum power for wood profiling equipment is 5 kW.
Spindle speed. At woodworking firms, machines with a value of this indicator not lower than 4500 rpm are used, otherwise the quality of finishing grooves and surfaces is reduced.
The number of spindles, the presence or absence of a special ruler to eliminate small defects.
The quality of cutters and their security. Good models have anti-kickback protection and an automatic knife lubrication mechanism.
Stability of the bed, type, thickness of its metal. The less vibration effects are transmitted to the workpiece, the more accurate the milling is. The reliability of the bed affects the service life.
Minimum and maximum dimensions of workpieces to be machined. Their variability partly determines the variety of products produced. Universal aggregates work with both short and long parts.
Simplicity of management, accessibility and security of the remote control.
Protection of motors from dust.
Warranty obligations of the manufacturer or supplier, the need for additional equipment with milling cutters.

Equipment overview

1. Start 4×160.

The line of quadrilateral machines has best reviews among Russian equipment as optimally adapted to work at small and medium-sized woodworking enterprises. This is due to the ratio of time and energy costs and productivity: with a consumption of not more than 16.7 kW, 300 running meters of eurolining per hour are produced. This model is designed for precise planar processing of panels up to 160 mm wide and up to 60 mm high and forming accurate grooves in it from all sides in one pass. The range of manufactured products, in addition to eurolining, includes platbands, beams, skirting boards, a block house and a floorboard.

The advantages include reliability, the ability to accurately and quickly adjust geometric dimensions, high productivity, the presence of stepless feed control, convenient access to all parts, tight pressing of materials with rollers and special base plates, good vibration damping, and much more. System settings are adjusted using a mobile remote control, Start 4 × 160 has reliable protection, excluding the ejection of the workpiece or its displacement during processing. Dimensional deviation does not exceed 0.01 mm. All this, combined with an affordable price and a guarantee of 2 years, significantly increases competitiveness in comparison with foreign analogues. It is recommended to buy both for the manufacture of lining at home for their own needs, and for the production of products for sale.

Of all Chinese machines, this line is recognized as the most reliable and convenient, this particular model is advised to be purchased when launching or expanding a workshop for the production of glued laminated timber, lining, shields, moldings, furniture parts and household items. Allows you to control the processes of cutting and milling with an accuracy of 0.01 mm thanks to the presence of balanced and run-in spindles rotating at speeds up to 6000 rpm, an additional groove cutter and ruler. The latter helps to eliminate the slight initial curvature of the boards, which has a positive effect on the cost of production.

All five spindles are independently adjustable and do not require lubrication during operation. The control panel is located at the front of the machine and there is no need to open or remove the guard to make changes to the settings. The feed speed is infinitely variable, the grooved rollers at the entrance eliminate the risk of shifting, even the most massive boards are guided independently. Side clamps and a special end system allow processing strips with a small length or section. Permissible dimensions of workpieces vary from 20 to 200 mm in width, 8-200 in thickness, from 250 and above in length. If you don't need a home, consider purchasing the Beaver 22, which consumes half the energy.

This Russian model is designed for molded products, including eurolining, and elements for window frames and door structures. Refers to multifunctional, accurate, safe and compact equipment, dimensions and weight allow you to adjust the production of products at home. This machine is considered budget, the total power of electric motors does not exceed 13.1 kW. It has a fairly high feed rate of workpieces due to the well-thought-out arrangement of the upper leading rollers and pressure rollers on the sides.

It processes boards and timber from 900 mm long, from 20 to 200 mm wide and 11-64 mm thick. The feed rate is adjustable in steps. Equipped with 2 cutters with straight blades and 2 sets of horizontal blades, combined in a single design that eliminates the effects of vibration. All individual nodes have protective housings, control is carried out directly, all buttons are located on the front panel.

4. Logosol PH260.

This compact and multifunctional machine from a well-known Swedish manufacturer is recommended to buy if necessary for profiling and gouging workpieces, it distinctive feature is the ability to quickly change knives, separate adjustment of the motors of each spindle and high-quality processing of wood, regardless of its hardness. With low power consumption (total power does not exceed 12.5 kW), it provides at least 500 running meters. eurolining in 1 hour, reliable thermal protection of engines eliminates their overheating. The durability of resources is due to the correct fixing of the upper and lower shafts, thick steel of the bed (4 mm) and the presence of a stable cast-iron table.

This Russian device is characterized by high functionality; in terms of its performance, it is suitable for any woodworking enterprise with different output volumes. The quality and accuracy of manufactured products is ensured by the presence of a stepless system for feeding workpieces placed in a cylinder and equipped with a spring-loaded mechanism for adjusting pressure rollers, soft polyurethane rollers that pick up the product at the exit, and a groove cutter and ruler on the first spindle. The only disadvantage of LTT MB4013 is the limitation on the width of processed boards (130 mm), but this factor does not affect the production of eurolining, its profile does not exceed 12 cm.

Machine cost

The best reviews have the Beaver, V-Hold, Logosol, LTT, Mida, Griggio, Haskvono lines. The units of Russian firms are not inferior in reliability and accuracy to imported counterparts, but are more affordable both in terms of cost and availability on the market.

The purchase of a professional machine for the manufacture of lining is considered justified only if you want to set up a permanent production of products for the purpose of selling them. A full-fledged line will become only if there is a convenient receiving table, a chamber for drying wood and equipment for sawing it.

When profiling a small volume on your own, a lamella or edge cutter is suitable; in the absence of experience, such batches are simply bought at the bases. An alternative is do-it-yourself production, in which case the number of board passes increases several times, the quality of the products is inferior to those obtained on professional equipment, but for your own needs this will be enough.

The floor has fallen into disrepair and urgently needs to be repaired. What material to choose for finishing, so that it is pleasant to walk barefoot and the coating looks neat, fresh and comfortable? A great solution would be to use natural natural material- wood. Modern technologies make it possible to make a durable and attractive do-it-yourself tongue-and-groove floorboard from ordinary wood.

What is grooved board

The classic edged board has been used for flooring for many centuries. The result is a warm and even floor, but such a coating has disadvantages that reduce comfort:

annoying creaking of the floorboards, which can be very difficult to get rid of;
gaps between the boards through which moisture and cold air pass;
splinters and bumps dangerous for the skin;
protruding nail heads.

A tongue-and-groove board is an edged floor board with side surfaces machined to look like a tongue for better laying.

Today, a solid wood floor is devoid of unpleasant disadvantages, although traditional varieties of hardwood, oak and coniferous species are used to create it:

larch perfectly withstands mechanical stress, it is resistant to abrasion and does not rot at high humidity levels. Such a floor can be used outdoors for the construction of terraces and verandas, it is not required to varnish, if desired, you can use a colorless or tinted oil for care;
oak has a dense and hard wood, the oak floor will last a long time and will not be scratched by chairs or heels;
pine and spruce are soft, pleasant to the touch, but require varnishing.

There is also a board made of birch, alder, ash, mahogany, teak, and other valuable and exotic woods.

Why is it needed and where is it used?

This natural material is used in construction for laying finishing floor covering and subfloor in private houses and apartments, on balconies and loggias, verandas and terraces, saunas and public places.

For industrial and commercial premises with a large number of people and equipment, the need for frequent wet cleaning and constant mechanical stress, the use of wooden floorboards is not recommended.

Alder and aspen, according to the current GOST 8242, can be used for flooring only in living rooms. From cheap boards of grade C, they usually make rough floors.

You will learn more about what a massive board is, what types and varieties are there, the advantages and disadvantages of the material, as well as the difference from other types of coating, in the article:.

How it works

The grooved board has its own design features, thanks to which it acquires improved specifications to create a high-quality finished floor:

The dimensions of such boards are given to several standard dimensions for ease of calculating material consumption and ease of installation. The length of the board is usually chosen equal to the length of the room. It is possible to manufacture longer or thicker slats for individual orders.

Standard sizes:

length varies from 100 to 400 cm;
width reaches from 8.5 to 10 cm;
thickness is from 2.5 to 3.5 cm.

Advantages and disadvantages of the material

Enhanced with modern technologies Grooved floorboard has a lot of advantages over conventional edged:

the locking connection gives a uniform distribution of the load, a snug fit and the absence of gaps between the boards, higher thermal insulation and sound absorption. The floor looks like a single seamless canvas, it does not need to be scraped;
The service life of a sheet pile is several decades. Repair will have time to get bored, but it will still look great. In this case, you can sand the surface and give it a different tone with a stain or colored varnish;
Standard dimensions make it easy to replace a single plank or combine different types of wood into an original ensemble;
the smooth front side of the material looks luxurious immediately after purchase, it does not require additional polishing, it can be varnished or protective compounds without the risk of raising the pile, it is pleasant and safe to walk on it barefoot;
the absolute environmental safety of this natural material and the glue-free connection make it possible to use it in children's rooms and bedrooms. The antistatic effect does not attract dust to the floor surface and facilitates maintenance;
due to the presence of tongues and grooves on the back of the product, the floor is more resistant to moisture, does not warp, does not dry out, does not creak. Bottom ventilation prevents the development of fungus and mold;
ease of installation allows even a novice specialist, which significantly reduces the cost of repairs;
The variety of wood types, processing methods and various decorative effects provides ample opportunities for decorating the interior and giving the house a unique style.

A smooth and beautiful wooden floor must be supplemented with a plinth to get a finished look of the room. You can read about how to attach the baseboard to the floor in the material:.

The grooved board has disadvantages, like any natural material:

low resistance to water, with constant wetting, the material can swell and rot. To solve this problem, wood is impregnated with antiseptics, and also covered with protective oils, waxes, varnishes;
the high cost of the material is due to its naturalness, the quality of the feedstock and the complexity of the processing technology;
the fire hazard is reduced by impregnation with flame retardants that prevent wood from igniting.

How to make a grooved board with your own hands

Another important advantage of tongue and groove is the possibility of making it yourself with certain woodworking skills. This painstaking work requires free time and knowledge of the intricacies of technology, as well as the rules for choosing high-quality raw materials. According to the appearance and condition of the material, the board is divided into the following grades:

extra - the most expensive variety, there are no knots and defects on its surface, it has an absolutely smooth, uniform structure;
A - a high-class variety, but small spots and darkening are allowed on its surface without the presence of knots or other defects in the wood structure;
B - the most popular variety of the middle price category. Knots and other inclusions and spots on its surface do not spoil general form, and create an additional decorative effect of naturalness;
C is a cheap grade with acceptable various heterogeneities of the structure and through knots.

Having decided on the grade, you should pay attention to other criteria for choosing the source lumber:

humidity should be 10–15%, and ideally up to 8%, such indicators are achieved using industrial drying in special chambers, after which the board acquires its stable size and will no longer dry out. High-quality drying can be determined by a shiny surface and a ringing sound when tapped, and a high level of humidity is determined by the presence of condensate on the inside of the plastic packaging;
the integrity of the package will help maintain a low level of humidity and the quality of raw materials, when buying, you should also check the availability of certificates, checks and other accompanying documentation, it is recommended to choose products of well-known big brands that have earned the trust of consumers, a cheap board from an unknown manufacturer may be of poor quality;
violations of the geometry and smoothness of grinding, especially for high-end goods, are unacceptable, they will complicate styling and can ruin appearance finished cover. These parameters are checked visually and manually;
when combining several different types of wood, boards of the same standard size should be selected to reduce the number of trimmings. The type of wood depends on the purpose of the premises and the planned loads, operating conditions.

Necessary materials and tools

Boards bought, now you can start work.

On the large factories sheet piling is carried out on high-precision machine tools with program control.

For home rabbeting, you will need the following tools and materials:

tape measure, level, ruler, square, marking pencil;
impregnation from fire and biological damage;
electric jigsaw or hacksaw for size correction;
jointer with quarter selection function, milling machine;
clamps for fixing the workpiece.

In cases where solid floorboards cannot be used, engineered flooring may be a good option. What is an engineering board and how to mount it, we will tell you on our website:.

Step by step manufacturing process

Of course, it will not work to achieve a production class of extra grade boards in a home workshop, but it is quite possible to make a lock connection and subsequently get a beautiful, even floor without creaks and cracks.

Stages of work to be performed:

Before work, you should keep the purchased raw materials indoors for several hours to adapt to temperature regime and humidity. A dry, clean board ready for processing must be fixed on the desktop with clamps so that it does not stagger or move during work.
Measure the middle of the end side surface along the long side and mark for the lock connection.
By hand jointer or milling machine you need to very accurately and accurately cut a quarter groove in one long end of the board.
On the other end, you need to select quarters along the edges from the drawn axis to make a tongue.
On the back side of the board, cut gutters or grooves for ventilation, one groove is enough. Sand the front side if necessary.
Treat the finished planks with an antiseptic and fire impregnation, which will extend the life of the floor and delay the need for repairs.

A grooved board will last for decades if the material is chosen correctly and the grooves are done slowly and carefully. After laying, it is desirable to cover the floors with several layers of protective varnish, then they can be washed, heavy furniture moved and walked on stilettos without the risk of scratching or pushing through. Hard rocks that are resistant to mechanical stress can be coated with a special oil that will emphasize the beauty and reveal the texture of wood.

The use of natural floorboards not only creates comfort in the room, but also creates a cleaner, more ecological atmosphere. Unlike parquet boards, flooring is made from solid wooden beams.

Performance characteristics

This product differs from other types of coatings in its cumulative properties. Its main characteristics:

reliability and durability (withstands load for a long period);
durable material (characteristics do not deteriorate for a long time, depends on the material of manufacture);
relatively high rates of thermal conductivity and sound insulation;
resistance to deformation;
environmental friendliness of the material.

Production

A modern floorboard begins with the selection of a suitable blank. After that, the material is subjected to longitudinal sawing. Milling work with wooden blanks and logs of large diameters is also allowed.
Next, floorboard machines are used to cross-cut and machine to achieve the dimensional characteristics of the workpieces. After that, the material is sent to the spreader.
Having left this zone, wooden blanks enter the sorting zone and are partially taken to the sawmill for sawing into half-beams, slabs and unedged material. The half-beam continues to move along the technological chain to the machine for the manufacture of boards, which converts the material into such products:

rail;
timber;
board;

The resulting materials are packaged and sent for drying. B relieves internal stress by reducing moisture between the fibers. This allows the wooden product not to deform during long-term operation in dry, warm rooms.

Processing and preparation for installation

The dried workpiece is sent for processing from all four sides to a special planer for the floorboard. With it, the front side is also processed in a final form.
After that, a tongue-and-groove connection is milled from the side ends, which helps to quickly mount the product in the premises.
Thermogrooves are milled on the back side, which improve ventilation under the wooden floor.

There are various options for finishing the floorboard. Such boards do not need additional scraping. At proper care and finishing such a floor will last more than a decade.

Eurolining, block house, floorboards with grooved ends and similar molded wood products are popular and expensive materials, if there are available raw materials and a need for a large volume, it is advisable to consider purchasing special devices for making them yourself. Given the high requirements for geometric accuracy of such products and the difficulties in grooving, the best results are achieved with machines that process the workpiece in one pass, with the ability to adjust the spindles.

Equipment types

The presence or absence of automated control.
The number of spindles (varies from 4 to 8) and how they are controlled (manual or mechanized). The more clamping shafts, the more complex and precise the workpiece is.
The type of bed (one-piece or prefabricated) and the material of its manufacture.
Mobility of equipment for the production of lining. It functions after installation and secure fixing in a stationary state, but the weight and dimensions of some options allow them to be used as portable ones, others do not.

In general, when choosing, take into account:

1. Start 4×160.

The advantages include reliability, the ability to accurately and quickly adjust geometric dimensions, high productivity, the presence of stepless feed control, convenient access to all parts, tight pressing of materials with rollers and special base plates, good vibration damping, and much more. System settings are adjusted using a mobile remote control, Start 4×160 has a reliable protection that prevents the ejection of the workpiece or its displacement during processing. Dimensional deviation does not exceed 0.01 mm. All this, combined with an affordable price and a guarantee of 2 years, significantly increases competitiveness in comparison with foreign analogues. It is recommended to buy both for the manufacture of lining at home for their own needs, and for the production of products for sale.

The durability of resources is due to the correct fixing of the upper and lower shafts, thick steel of the bed (4 mm) and the presence of a stable cast-iron table.

The purchase of a professional machine for the manufacture of lining is considered justified only if you want to set up a permanent production of products for the purpose of selling them. A full-fledged line will become only if there is a convenient receiving table, a chamber for drying wood and equipment for sawing it.

When profiling a small volume on your own, a lamella or edge cutter is suitable; in the absence of experience, such batches are simply bought at the bases. An alternative option is do-it-yourself production, in which case the number of board passes increases several times, the quality of the products is inferior to those obtained on professional equipment, but this will be enough for your own needs.

A machine for making lining is necessary for anyone who wants, for example, to decorate a house or a change house with it.

Making a machine and producing lining yourself will cost many times cheaper than buying finished products in large volumes.

During construction and repair work, lining is indispensable, it is environmentally friendly, easy to process and attractive in appearance.

Of course, today manufacturers offer a huge range of such goods, but a lining made at home will always be of better quality and more reliable than the one you can buy.

In addition, having your own machine for the production of lining, you can eventually try to start a small business.

However, factory equipment is also expensive, although it pays off over time. There is a way out - to make it with your own hands, knowing all the subtleties of the process and understanding what material you have to work with.

How and from what is the lining made?

It is noteworthy that for the manufacture of lining are necessary different breeds tree. For finishing work (both facade and interior), wood of the following species is chosen: pine, larch, cedar, spruce.

They choose lining from such material also because it has a specific, pleasant and resinous smell that fills the room with comfort. Specifically for internal works use ash, linden, aspen.

Such trees are less durable, but they are chosen for their attractive appearance and color spectrum.

If you are going to make lining with your own hands using a home machine, then you need to understand that it must meet many requirements and not be inferior to the one made using industrial technology.

The manufacture of lining is that the finished sheet must be perfectly even, without bumps, deformations, hooks. This is achieved by grinding.

Also, the lining should be impregnated with special solutions, sometimes it is varnished. This is necessary so that moisture does not have such a destructive effect on the wood.

If properly impregnated with wood, it will last for decades. Depending on the type of tree, different methods of cutting are chosen.

For example, if we are talking about pine, then only the lower part of the tree is sawn, because there are fewer knots.

Larch is a cheap substitute for oak, it is characterized by high strength and integrity of the fiber structure.

How to make a home machine?

The machine for the manufacture of lining must process the board from four sides at once, so its design is complex, especially if you do everything yourself.

An important parameter by which devices are characterized is the cross section of the material that is obtained at the output. The larger the cross section, the greater the power of the device should be.

First of all, they are engaged in assembling the frame of the machine - this includes a table and a frame. The work surface needs to be given a lot of attention.

Therefore, it is important to ensure high-quality welding of all parts, especially if welding will also be done by hand.

Most often, a home-made machine is made of durable sheet iron, because the table must be narrow, long and stable.

In the middle of the sheet, it is necessary to make a hole where special rollers will be installed. They are driven by an electric motor.

The dimensions of the sheet allow not only to make lining with a large cross section, but also to improve operational properties.

The fact is that the larger the home-made machine will be in mass, the less vibration will be during operation. Increased vibration always puts the high quality of the finished lining at risk.

The next at home is making a knife shaft. Perhaps it would be superfluous to say that the quality of the finished material depends on this component, because this is the main cutting part.

That is why it is better to buy a finished shaft in a store, it is almost impossible to make it yourself.

The fact is that professional parts are properly balanced, properly polished, which allows not only to get a lining High Quality, but also not to worry about the safety of the master during work.

As for the drive, it is better to give preference to stepped models, thanks to which you can adjust the supply of material for processing.

After that, an electric motor is installed - this process is easy to carry out even with your own hands. The main thing is to decide on the power. For domestic purposes, parameters from 2 to 5 kW are enough.

If you take more power, then you can not achieve the desired accuracy of processing, and less power does not allow you to cut wood at all.

Here, even an old engine from other devices, for example, can be a budget option. washing machine.

The last to install are pressure rollers that fix the wooden blanks on the machine sheet.

Here you can also use rollers from an old washing machine or purchase such parts from factory manufacturers.

Selection of tools and other subtleties of the process

Making a machine with your own hands is only possible if you have a whole list of special tools.

These include:

welding machine, even with low power;
an electric drill, which has nozzles that can handle metals;
Sander;
metal processing machine;
lathe.

Unfortunately, it is realistic to make a machine yourself only if you have experience working with factory equipment. Without any practice, it is trite unsafe.

The reliability of the design should not be in doubt, and the creation of the machine can be delayed even for months. An alternative would be to purchase a milling or woodworking machine.

On such a device, the creation of lining takes place in several stages, however, such an apparatus is several times cheaper than a professional machine for the manufacture of materials.

When working with cutting equipment, it is necessary to constantly monitor the serviceability of tools, sharpen them in time and check for chips, irregularities.

Any roughness can cause part of the wood to ricochet, which often causes serious injury.

All knives and shafts must be properly secured by choosing heavy-duty bolts and fully tightening them.

If you decide that it will not work to make a machine for lining at home, then you need to special attention approach the choice of equipment. Check out all technical specifications.

Here it is worth starting from the load that will be assigned to the structure.

It is of great importance how often the machine will be used, whether it is needed for industrial production or the lining is made only for personal construction.

If you need to constantly make lining, then it is better to take a powerful machine that runs on high speeds with a power of more than 5 kW. There are also manual and automatic models.

For the manufacture of lining in small volumes, enough manual machine, business need automatic.
