The present invention relates to a flexible sheet of wood strips for use in the fabrication of engineered floor boards or wood sheets and including the machine and method of manufacture of the flexible sheet of wood strips. The wood strips provide a wood floor which has much more stability than a solid wood plank which is much more affected by the temperature in a room and the moisture under the floor board. Also solid wood planks are much more expensive than engineered wood planks where only a very thin layer of quality wood material is utilized. The transverse wood strips are constructed of inferior wood material. Two or more treads of flexible material may be secured transversely to the wood strips to provide additional retention of the wood strips in the flexible sheet.

The invention relates to decorative panel and a method for producing such panel. The panel according to the present invention comprises a core layer, and a decorative top layer attached to the upper core surface of said core layer. The panel further comprises at least one chamfer provided at at least one of said side edges, wherein the chamfer extends through at least part of the decorative top layer and/or through at least part of the core layer, and the panel comprises at least one coating layer.

A rectangular panel has long and short edges, such that on each long edge and on each short edge, the panel has a coupling part, which allows the panel to be coupled to another similar panel.

Coated panel with at least a substrate (2) and a top layer applied thereto (3), wherein the above-mentioned top layer (3) comprises at least a decor layer (4) and a translucent or transparent wear layer (5), characterized in that the above-mentioned wear layer (5) comprises a thermally cured acrylate resin or a thermally cured unsaturated polyester resin. Preferably, wherein thermal curing partially or completely cures the resin. In particular, wherein the above-mentioned acrylate resin or unsaturated polyester resin is at least partially cured by means of a thermally initiated radical crosslinking reaction. The invention further relates to a method for the production of such coated panels (1), in particular floor panels.

A method for forming grooves in a board element. An exemplary method includes arranging the board element in contact with a support member, and forming at least one groove in a rear side of the board element by removing material, such as chips, from the board element by rotating one or more cutting devices including a plurality of tooth elements configured to rotate around a rotational axis. A method further includes counteracting, such as preventing, a displacement of the board element away from the support member during forming of the at least one groove, wherein the counteracting, such as preventing, includes arranging at least a portion of the board element between an obstruction element and the support member.
