RESTORATION
JOINERY BENEFITS FROM STRIEBIG SAW
Investing
in a Striebig Compact vertical panel saw has brought
greater accuracy and ease of use to the sizing
of sheet materials at Avon Timber.
The
independent Coventry timber merchant supplies
national housebuilders, construction companies,
shopfitters, export packers, joiners and local
builders.

| The
Striebig Compact vertical panel saw that has
made panel sizing more efficient at Avon Timber. |
|
Within
its 2.5 acre site are 25,000 sq. ft. of covered
storage space which contains a stockholding worth
£400,000 and a mill with full machining facilities.
It is an agent for the Jeld-Wen range of doors,
windows and stairs and Forest Garden Products.
Its new-look Compact 4164, which has a maximum
cutting size of 3100 x 1644mm and a cutting depth
of 60mm, is used to cut to size sheet materials
such as plywood, chipboard and MDF as well as
hardwoods used, for example, as window boards.
Said
Avon Timber's managing director Geoff Lomasney,
"It's a versatile machine that is miles better
than the elderly German model it replaced."
Amongst
the features he is particularly impressed with
are the saw's base horizontal metal rollers which
facilitate ease of alignment, the design of the
turning head, its ease of operation, the highly
efficient built-in extraction and low noise.
"Its
ability to cut to square is impressive," he said.
"We can now square the top end of a sheet and
produce long strips from it without having to
reset the saw."
Like
other models in the Compact series it has a re-designed
control panel, saw head housing and saw head operating
mechanism. Medium and small work piece supports
extending along the full length of the machine
means it is quick and easy to saw small pieces.
Its highly efficient integral dust and chips extraction
system ensures that dust levels are kept well
below permitted European limits..
The
Compact is based on a single, fully welded sawing
frame to give decades of reliable service whilst
maintaining cutting precision.
It's
suitable for cutting practically all sheet material,
such as MDF, plaster board, plastics and aluminium
panels.
