Board Cutting Services
Get in touchAt Bespoke Joinery Services, we provide professional board cutting services for cabinetry, shelving, interior fit-outs, signage, and commercial joinery.
At our board cutting facility, we use industrial panel saws, CNC machinery, and edge-finishing tools to provide a clean, square, and repeatable cut, ready for assembly or further fabrication.
As many clients require custom dimensions and consistent tolerances, we deliver both one-off cuts and high-volume production with short lead times and professional quality.

What Is Included in Board Cutting Services?
Board cutting services include the measurement, marking, cutting, and finishing of sheet materials to client-specified dimensions.
Since some projects require additional preparation, we also offer pre-drilling, edge banding, and grooving as optional extras.
Our team works with full sheets or customer-supplied boards, and each cut is made with industrial accuracy to ensure clean edges and square alignment.
How Much Does Board Cutting Cost?
The cost of board cutting is from £1.50 to £25 per cut.
The cost of board cutting depends on the number of cuts, material type, and whether edge banding or drilling is required.
Basic pricing starts from £1.50 to £3.00 per straight cut, £20 to £40 for small-batch panel sizing (up to 10 cuts), edge banding from £1.00 per metre and full sheet cutting from £15 to £25, depending on material and complexity
Since we provide free estimates based on your cutting list or drawings, clients receive a clear and accurate price before work begins.
What Materials Can Be Cut?
We cut a wide variety of sheet materials that are commonly used in joinery, construction, and interior design projects.
This includes MDF in standard or moisture-resistant grades, plywood in softwood, hardwood, birch-faced or marine variations, and chipboard, including melamine-faced chipboard used in cabinet construction.
We also cut OSB (Oriented Strand Board), veneered boards, laminated panels, and acrylic or composite sheets used in decorative or lightweight applications.
Since each material type responds differently to cutting, we select the appropriate blade and cutting method to ensure clean edges, accurate dimensions, and minimal chipping or damage.
Whether you require standard timber boards or more specialised laminated or veneered sheets, our board cutting service is equipped to deliver precise, high-quality results.
Since each material behaves differently during cutting, we use blade types and feed speeds suited to each specific substrate to ensure the best finish.
What Are the Benefits of Using Professional Board Cutting?
Using professional board cutting services offers numerous time, cost, and quality advantages.
Key benefits include:
Accurate, repeatable cuts with clean edges and tight tolerances
Reduced waste and increased material efficiency
Time savings on-site or in your workshop
Compatibility with CNC templates or edge-banding processes
Large-volume or single-piece cutting available
Boards ready for immediate assembly, finishing, or installation
Since all cuts are handled by trained operators on calibrated equipment, customers can be confident in the quality and consistency of each panel.
Can You Handle Large Volume or Trade Orders?
We regularly provide high-volume board cutting services for trade customers, furniture makers, shopfitters, and interior contractors.
At Bespoke Joinery Services, we can cut full packs of MDF or ply into hundreds of panels with consistent sizing and labelling for streamlined project delivery.
Since we work from CAD drawings, cut lists, or handwritten measurements, we tailor our service to suit the format of your order.
Can You Provide Board Cutting for DIY Projects?
We support homeowners, hobbyists, and DIY enthusiasts with small-quantity or made-to-measure board cutting for furniture, shelving, storage units, and home projects.
Whether you're building a custom bookcase or fitting out a wardrobe interior, we can provide accurately sized boards for easy assembly.
As we also offer advice on material choice and thickness, DIY clients benefit from professional guidance throughout the process.
Do You Offer Edge Banding After Cutting?
Edge banding services are available following board cutting, particularly for melamine-faced or veneered panels.
Since raw edges on MDF or chipboard are prone to damage and moisture ingress, applying edging tape improves durability and visual quality.
At Bespoke Joinery Services, we offer matching ABS or PVC edging in standard colours and woodgrain finishes, applied using heat-bonding machines for a seamless, durable result.
What Is the Turnaround Time for Board Cutting?
The turnaround for board cutting typically ranges from 1 to 5 working days, depending on order size and material availability.
Simple cuts for a few panels may be completed same-day or next-day, while large trade jobs or CNC-prepared orders may take slightly longer.
Since we stock a wide range of sheet materials, we can often fulfil urgent orders quickly with minimal lead time.
Can I Supply My Own Boards for Cutting?
We accept customer-supplied sheet materials for cutting at our facility.
Since many clients already purchase specific types of MDF, ply, or laminate from suppliers, we accommodate third-party boards as long as they are structurally sound and safely transportable.
As our machinery is calibrated to industry standards, we ask that any boards provided are flat, clean, and clearly marked or accompanied by a cutting list to ensure accuracy and safety during the cutting process.
Do You Offer CNC Board Cutting?
We provide CNC board cutting services for clients requiring precise shapes, cut-outs, drilled holes, or routed edges. CNC cutting allows for detailed customisation and repeatability, especially useful in cabinetmaking, signage, shopfitting, or architectural panel work.
Since CNC equipment operates from CAD files or templates, it ensures exact specifications are followed, even across complex or high-volume orders.
As a result, we deliver fast, high-quality results for both trade and design-led projects.
What Thicknesses of Board Can You Cut?
Our board cutting machinery can handle a wide range of thicknesses, typically from 3mm up to 50mm depending on the material.
Thin materials such as 6mm MDF or ply are used for backing boards or drawer bottoms, while thicker sheets like 18mm or 25mm MDF are standard in cabinetry and shelving.
Since different thicknesses require specific blade settings and feed speeds, we adjust our equipment accordingly to maintain clean cuts and dimensional accuracy across all panels.
Is There a Minimum Order Quantity?
There is no minimum order quantity for our board cutting service.
We cater to both trade and individual customers, so whether you need a single shelf cut to size or a full set of kitchen carcass panels, we’re able to assist.
Since smaller jobs can often be turned around more quickly, many DIY customers use our service for wardrobes, alcove units, or home office builds, while larger trade orders are scheduled for batch processing and consistent sizing.
Do You Cut to Exact Measurements or Allow Tolerances?
We cut to exact measurements provided by the client, but in practice, a small tolerance of ±0.5mm is considered standard for most board cutting jobs.
Since variations in board thickness or blade kerf can cause minor discrepancies, we advise clients to specify critical dimensions clearly and allow for slight adjustments where fitting or scribing will occur.
For CNC-cut panels or work requiring tight tolerances, we use precision equipment and verify all measurements prior to cutting.
