Abstract (en)

A method of manufacturing a short panel piece (6) including profiled side edge portions (5) for coupling at least two short panel pieces (6) to each other comprises the steps of: supplying a large surface panel (1), cutting the large surface panel (1) into at least two long panel pieces (3) along a first cutting line (2), cutting at least one of the long panel pieces (3) into at least two short panel pieces (6) along a second cutting line (7) extending transversely with respect to the first cutting line (2) of the long panel piece (3), and machining a coupling profile to at least a side edge portion (5) of at least one of the short panel pieces (6) at the second cutting line (7) thereof, wherein the coupling profile is suitable for attaching two short panel pieces (6) to each other. A guiding means (10) for guiding the short panel piece (6) transversely with respect to the first cutting line (2) is provided to the short panel pieces (6) before machining a coupling profile to a side edge portion (5) of the short panel piece (6) at the second cutting line (7) thereof.
