Canvas Phenolic Sheet (Fabric-Base) — Machinable Insulation Board, Cut-to-Size 2–50 mm

Canvas Phenolic Sheet (Fabric-Base Bakelite) | Machinable Phenolic Laminate Plate | Electrical Insulation Jig & Fixture Board | Cut-to-Size 2–50 mm (0.08–1.97 in)

Canvas Phenolic (Fabric-Base) Overview — Machinable “Bakelite” for Jigs, Fixtures, Spacer Blocks & Electrical Panels

Canvas phenolic sheet (also called fabric-base phenolic laminate, cotton-cloth phenolic plate, or machining-grade “Bakelite”) is a phenolic resin laminate reinforced with woven cotton fabric. Compared with paper-base phenolic, the fabric-base grade delivers higher impact strength, better wear resistance, clean CNC machinability and dependable electrical insulation. It’s widely used for jig & fixture plates, insulating spacers/risers, tooling bases, wear pads/strips, and other machined phenolic parts.

Mechanical Strength, Electrical Insulation & CNC Machinability — Phenolic Laminate Benefits

• High mechanical strength & impact resistance → resists edge chipping under load → longer-lasting fixtures and spacer blocks.
• Reliable dielectric properties → stable insulation in shop-floor assemblies → safer switchgear panels and transformer spacers.
• Heat & wear resistance → consistent performance in production environments → less downtime and lower maintenance cost.
• Easy to machine (sawing, drilling, countersinking, chamfering, CNC routing/milling) → precise, repeatable fits → reduced secondary finishing and rework.
• Cut-to-size service → plates arrive ready to assemble → lower material waste & freight charges.

CNC Machining, Surface Grinding & Tolerances — Ready-to-Install Canvas Phenolic Parts

• Standard sawn tolerance: width/length ±1.5 mm (±0.06 in) for general spacer plates & bases.
• Thickness control: as-cut per sheet spec; optional surface grinding for tighter thickness & flatness when required.
• Operations: sawing, drilling, countersinking, chamfering, tapping, CNC routing/milling; light deburr recommended.
• Cost-saving design tips: keep hole-to-edge ≥ 1.5× thickness; nest multiple parts per panel to reduce scrap and freight.

FAQ — Canvas Phenolic Sheet (Fabric-Base Bakelite) Sizing, Machining & Tolerances

Is this the machining-grade “Bakelite” used for fixtures?

Yes — this page is the fabric-base (canvas) phenolic, the machining-grade variant commonly chosen for jigs, fixture plates and spacer blocks.

Can you hold tight thickness and flatness?

Yes. Order standard sawn plates for general use, or request surface-ground finishing for tighter thickness/flatness when your design requires it.

Can I order in inches?

Absolutely. All options show both mm & inch. You can also submit a drawing with exact imperial dimensions.

Do you machine holes, countersinks, threads or pockets?

Yes — our machining service covers drilling, countersinking, chamfering, tapping and CNC routing/milling. Upload your drawing for a free DFM review.

How can I reduce total cost on phenolic plates?

Combine multiple parts on one panel, select the lowest workable thickness, and let us optimize nesting & packaging. We aim to minimize scrap and freight without compromising performance.
