Lose the weight
If you're manufacturing any product that ships then you are well aware of how that extra weight can equate to reduced profits. With UltraHex, the average weight savings is around 40% compared to similar high grade plywoods. In fact, a sheet of 3/4" weighs less than the average 1/2" baltic birch core hex ply.
UltraHex is a great substitute for all those Riga Heska (Hex Ply) projects. A smooth phenolic back with a scuff-resistant, high-wear, textured phenolic top surface, the new UltraHex has all the durability without the weight.

CNC RECOMMENDATIONS
For best CNC results, we recommend the following:
For Edge Cuts, cutting a shape from a sheet, we suggest no larger than a .25” COMPRESSION END MILL set to:
- 18000 r.p.m. Spindle speed
- 450 inches/min Feed Rate
- 70 inches/min Plunge Rate
For Pocket Cuts, cutting a recess into a sheet, we use a .25” DOWN-CUT END MILL set to:
- 18000 r.p.m. Spindle speed
- 300 inches/min Feed Rate
- 47 inches/min Plunge rate
The type of CNC and the quality of the End Mills vary, so we suggest testing first for best results before any production.
