Polyester fiber panels are thick, elastic, and highly porous. Try cutting them manually and you’ll get frayed edges. Use a laser cutter and you’ll end up with burnt edges, smoke, and even melting.

That’s where CNC oscillating knife cutting technology comes in.
But here’s the tricky part — not every cutting tool fits every panel thickness or design requirement. Over the years, we’ve seen many customers waste time (and blades) trying to find the right setup.

So, to make things simple, here’s a clear guide based on hundreds of installations and real factory cases:
The most effective tool combinations for processing polyester fiber acoustic wall panels.

Dual Tool Holder: Electric Oscillating Tool + Bevel Cutting Tool

Purpose: Cutting + V-grooving + bevel cutting
Material thickness: 9 – 24 mm panels

Multiple tool combinations

This is the must-have setup for anyone making decorative acoustic wall panels.
The electric oscillating knife handles smooth and clean straight cuts, while the bevel cutting tool performs precise V-grooves at any angle—5°, 10°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, or 45°.

Together, they complete cutting and grooving in one go. Perfect for creating 3D wall designs or panel joints.

Pneumatic Oscillating Tool

Purpose: Cutting ultra-thick panels
Material thickness: 30 – 50 mm

When your polyester fiber panels are thicker than 40 mm, switch to the pneumatic oscillating tool.
It delivers strong cutting power with smooth edges and zero melting or hardening.

High-Speed Milling Cutter Tool

This one’s optional—but very useful in two special cases:

3.1 Cutting Small Holes (2 – 4 mm):
If your panels need small installation holes, the milling cutter handles those fast and cleanly.

3.2 Making U-Grooves:
When customers want U-shaped groove designs instead of V-grooves, the milling cutter is your best choice.

CCD Vision Positioning System

Some customers print decorative patterns on their polyester fiber panels using heat-transfer technology.
To cut precisely along these printed graphics, you’ll need a CCD camera system.

Multiple tool combinations

It automatically detects the pattern edges and aligns the cut path perfectly—no manual alignment required.

Bonus Tip: Material Fixing—The Real Hidden Challenge

Many people think tool selection is the hardest part.
Actually, the toughest challenge is fixing the material during cutting.

Why?
Because polyester fiber acoustic panels are highly breathable, meaning air passes through easily—making it impossible to form a vacuum seal on a normal table. The result? The panel shifts or lifts during cutting.

To solve this, AMOR CNC developed a secondary vacuum-assist system.
This intelligent airflow solution securely holds porous materials like polyester fiber panels in place, ensuring accurate cuts, stable grooves, and smooth processing every time.

In Summary

Here’s the ideal setup for every scenario:

Final Thought

At AMOR CNC, we believe in making things simple.
Choose the right tool, use the right fixing system, and your acoustic panel cutting will be faster, cleaner, and smarter.
