A tool configuration 68, 68′ incorporating a preprocessing step 67, 67′ and a method incorporating the tool configuration with its preprocessing step, producing an improved locking system of a floor panel 1, 1′. With the special tool configuration, and the preprocessing step changing the properties of the surface layer, certain surfaces are profiled of the joint edge of the floor panel, resulting in decreased tolerances. An equipment having an upper belt or chain guided in a horizontal direction, by an upper guiding device, and configured to press the floor panel vertically towards the lower chain, decreasing the tolerances of the produced floor panel as well.
A method for producing mechanical locking systems in a floor panel using a first tool configuration, the floor panel comprising a surface layer, a core and mechanical locking systems on a first edge and a second edge of the floor panel for horizontal locking of the floor panel with similar other floor panels, the mechanical locking systems comprising a first pair of locking surfaces in the first edge of the floor panel and a second pair of locking surfaces in the second edge, the first pair of locking surfaces comprises a first upper edge and a locking element, and the second pair of locking surfaces comprises a second upper edge and a locking groove, wherein the method comprises:
