1 We are NZs largest supplier of tooling board. Primarily used in the CNC machining enviroment, tooling boards are playing a large part in the marine, aerospace, prototyping and foundry industries. We source products from Europe and the USA, stocking sheets in 50, 75 & 100mm thicknesses. Characteristics and Applications of Tooling Boards. Tooling boards are consistent with no voids, uniform density and predictable processing characteristics. Small cell-sizes give excellent finished surface results straight from the tool. With the demands of tighter tolerances and reliable dimensional stability, tooling boards out-perform traditional materials. Faster CNC machine spindle speeds and material feed-rates are possible. Tooling boards are closed-cell making them virtually insensitive to humidity changes, with predictable thermal expansion characteristics. Most polyurethane boards are temperature resistant to 60 C. Our Epoxy boards can be used for pre-preg carbon fibre production that can be processed repeatedly at 125 C, with very low thermal expansion, and good resistance to chemicals.
