1. A method for manufacturing panels wherein a continuous milling machine is used for machining a panel,
wherein the continuous milling machine comprises a cutting device; and
wherein the continuous milling machine comprises positions with additional rotating milling cutters for machining an edge of the panel by the cutting device;
wherein the cutting device comprises a slide shoe or pressure shoe,
wherein the slide shoe or pressure shoe has at least one sliding surface for guiding a surface of the panel to be milled,
wherein the slide shoe or pressure shoe is provided with at least one cutting blade for machining the panel,
wherein this cutting blade maintains a fixed position during this machining;
wherein the slide shoe or the pressure shoe is provided in order to support the surface of the panel to be milled by means of the at least one sliding surface on a rotating milling cutter that carries out a milling operation on the edge of the panel;
wherein the cutting device comprises a rotating milling cutter for the milling of the panel at a location of the slide shoe or the pressure shoe;
wherein the rotating milling cutter is provided upstream of the cutting blade;
wherein the method comprises the step of providing the panels with a profiled edge region on one or more of the edges,
wherein forming of the profiled edge region is carried out at least by means of one or more of the additional rotating milling cutters and by the rotating milling cutter, and
wherein the panel to be milled is guided with a surface of the panel over the at least one sliding surface of the slide shoe or pressure shoe,
wherein the method comprises the step of forming a portion of the profiled edge region by means of the cutting blade that is provided on the slide shoe or pressure shoe.
