Folding Alupanel

When we first started we used a hand held router mounted onto guides with a tool specific for folding. This was a v bit with the bottom squared off to leave a 3 mm flat edge. Worked fine until we bought our CNC router. It is important to make sure you have good depth control on the router so it can’t go through the substrate. Festool routers whilst expensive are without a doubt the best

We bought Festool guides and router. Bought a 8ft and 4ft guide with clamps to join together for 10 ft panels also Geko clamps which are great for holding the guide to the substrate

 

works great
