Appendix
The following table provides guide values for machining HPL with and without substrates such as veneer laminated wood, plywood, chipboard and fibreboard.

Cutting speed as a function of rotational speed and tool diameter
The curves show cutting speeds in m/s, determined using rotational speed and tool diameter. If tool diameter and cutting speed are given, the required rotational speed can be read from the graph. In the same way the tool diameter can be read if rotational speed and cutting speed are given.
x Speed n [min-1]
y Tool diameter D [mm]
z Cutting speed vc [m/s]
