Cutting PVC-Coated Tarpaulin & Technical Textiles Without Fumes: Knife vs. Laser
If you cut PVC-coated tarpaulin or vinyl-laminated textiles, switch to a CNC knife. You’ll avoid toxic laser fumes, keep edges clean, and reduce maintenance headaches. Your EHS team will thank you.
Why CNC Oscillating Knives Beat Traditional Methods for Gasket Manufacturing
Custom gaskets need speed, clean edges, and zero drama. CNC oscillating knives deliver all three—without dies, burns, or water mess. If you make non-asbestos, graphite-reinforced, PTFE, rubber, or composite gaskets, this is the smarter, faster, and greener path.
Cutting Thicker Materials? Here’s How to Choose the Right Oscillating Knife Cutting Machine
Many customers come to us with the same question:
“Can I use one CNC oscillating knife cutting machine to cut both 1mm thin materials and 200mm thick materials?”
The short answer is: Yes, you can—but only if your machine is correctly configured from the start.The longer answer? You’ll need to consider several key factors in machine structure, tool configuration, and blade installation.
But before going too far, ask yourself first: do you really need one machine for such a wide thickness range?Combining both capabilities will increase machine cost, space requirements, and maintenance needs. This article will help you make an informed decision.
Choosing the Right Oscillating Tool for EVA & EPE Foam Cutting: A Practical Comparison of 4 Power Tools
Cutting EVA and EPE foam for packaging inserts may seem simple. But if you’ve ever dealt with poor edge quality, overheating blades, or rough cuts—then you know the tool matters.
The type, thickness, and hardness of your foam directly affect cutting quality and speed. Choosing the wrong oscillating tool can lead to inefficiency, material waste, or even tool failure.
This guide compares four essential oscillating tools and teaches you how to match them to different foam types, thicknesses, and hardness levels—for perfect cuts every time.
How to Cut and Groove 9–50mm Polyester Fiber Panels on One CNC Machine: The Tool Selection Guide
Polyester fiber acoustic panels are widely used in modern architecture and interior soundproofing design. As more manufacturers enter this industry, many customers ask a crucial question:
Can one CNC oscillating knife cutting machine handle everything from 9mm to 50mm panels—cutting and V-grooving included?
The answer is: yes—but only if you select the right tool combinations based on material thickness and density.
This article explains how to match cutting and grooving tools correctly to different panel types, and how to configure one machine to meet all requirements—from thin, rigid boards to thick, soft ones.
5 Common Leather Cutting Challenges — And How CNC Machines Solve Them
Natural leather is one of the most valuable and unique materials used in sofas, shoes, bags, and automotive interiors. But every hide is different—irregular shapes, thickness variations, and surface defects are common. For manufacturers relying on manual cutting, these challenges lead to high material waste, inconsistent quality, and rising labor costs.
So, how can we cut leather smarter, not harder?
Let’s explore how CNC leather cutting machines—especially those using oscillating knife technology—solve these issues and help factories upgrade their cutting process.
8 Essential Tips to Extend the Lifespan of Your Oscillating Cutting Tools
Oscillating knife cutting tools are essential for high-precision cutting in various industries. Whether you’re cutting fabrics, foam, gaskets, or sound-absorbing materials, these tools provide the accuracy and efficiency needed for intricate designs and rapid production.
However, like any other machinery, oscillating knives need regular maintenance to ensure they last longer and operate at peak performance. In this article, we’ll explore practical steps to help you extend the lifespan of your oscillating cutting tools, lower your overall production costs, and minimize machine downtime.
Why Your Gasket Cuts Keep Failing: 6 Common Problems You Can’t Blame on the Material
Using a CNC oscillating knife cutting machine for gaskets—especially non-asbestos and rubber types—can significantly boost production efficiency and accuracy. But let’s be honest: it’s not always smooth sailing. Some customers encounter unexpected issues that affect cut quality, precision, and even blade life.
The good news? Most of these problems aren’t due to the material. They come from the machine structure, incorrect tooling, improper settings, or operational errors. This article dives into the 6 most common issues, explains the technical causes behind them, and provides insights into how a well-built CNC gasket cutting machine—like AMOR’s—can prevent them.
How CNC Leather Cutting Machines Support Mass Customization in the Bag Industry
In today’s fast-changing market, bag brands face more pressure than ever to offer personalization, fast delivery, and small-batch flexibility. Customers want unique styles, short lead times, and quick trend responses—and manufacturers are expected to keep up without raising costs.
That’s where CNC leather cutting machines step in. Equipped with oscillating knife tools, vision scanning, and smart nesting software, these machines are transforming how leather bags are made—from small designer batches to mass-customized collections.
5 Cutting & Grooving Challenges in Phenolic Duct Fabrication—And How CNC Machines Solve Them
In the HVAC industry, pre-insulated phenolic air ducts have become a preferred choice due to their lightweight, fire-resistant, and high-insulation properties. But producing these ducts efficiently and accurately—especially when it comes to cutting and V-grooving—can be challenging.
Many factories still rely on manual labor or milling machines for duct fabrication. These traditional methods are slow, dusty, and often inaccurate, making it hard to keep up with modern demands for customization and efficiency.
In this article, we’ll explore five common challenges in phenolic duct processing and explain how the AMOR CNC oscillating knife cutting machine provides a smart, precise, and automated solution.
