All about our timber saws

We have two different types of timber saws. In the majority of stores we have a vertical panel saw, and in a small selection of stores we have cross cut saws.**

Our vertical panel saws are designed to cut wood-based panels only. The saw cannot cut doors, fence panels and lattices, plasterboard and mineral based boards, strip timber and thick structural timber. We can cut panels that have the following minimum and maximum dimensions:

  •  Minimum panel length – 500mm
  •  Minimum panel height – 230mm
  •  Maximum panel length – 3300mm
  •  Maximum panel height – 2160mm
  •  Maximum panel thickness – 80mm  

We use cross cut saws in the following stores: Banbury, Bedford, Bedford, Bognor Regis, Milton Keynes, Poole and Sydenham.

These allow the cutting of strip wood and structural timbers. Only non-panel products that conform to the following can be cut using this saw:

  • Maximum thickness 125mm
  • Maximum material width- 150mm
  • Maximum material length- 3000mm

The cross cut saw can only make square cuts. Other agencies, mitres, grooves or points cannot be cut.
