The blanks for the top layer of two-layer parquet or mosaic parquet are cut (ripped, split) into lamellas. These have a thickness of 3 mm to 6 mm. Which machine type is used depends on the width of the lamellas: For narrow lamellas up to a width of approx. 120 mm, a thin-cutting circular saw is recommended. For wider lamellas, a thin-cutting frame saw or a band saw must be used.
