STRIEBIG
TRIO CUTS IT AT BUTTLE'S
T.M.
Machinery Sales Ltd has helped timber and builders'
merchants Buttle's maintain its high level of
customer service by providing Striebig Compact
vertical panel saws for a new sheet materials
cutting service.
They have been installed at all three of the independent
company's branches, in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire,
St. Albans, Hertfordshire, and Kentish Town, north
London.
The saws cut MDF, plywood and chipboard sheets
to the exact sizes required by customers.
The sheets range in thickness from 3.2 to 30mm.
The Compact is loaded by the operator with multiple
batches of sheets up to 12mm thick, with those
thicker cut singly. They have also been used to
trim kitchen worktops up to 3m long.

Designed
for high output, space saving Compact models are
available in frame sizes from 3100 x 1644mm up
to 4600 x 2070 mm. They are precision-built in
Switzerland and operate to an accuracy of 0.1mm.
Buttle's specified the 3100 x 1644mm frame size
that allows it to cut 10 x 5ft sheets as well
as standard 8 x 4ft panels.
With its built-in TRK dust extraction system,
chips and dust are deposited well away from the
operator in closed spaces behind the panel support.
Among optional extras available to boost productive
capacity is an integral scoring saw that gives
smooth edges on the toughest of faced materials.
Buttle plc operations director Philip Norton said
the company was always looking for new ways to
improve customer service and increase turnover.
"The cutting service has proved a real winner.
We are now selling considerably more sheet materials
at all three branches, which represents additional
revenue we would not have had if we didn't offer
the service."
For example, a builder recently asked them to
cut 100 MDF sheets into a variety of different
sizes. He supplied a cutting list of the sizes
required and Buttle's delivered the cut items
to site.
T.M. Machinery Sales of Leicester, Striebig's
sole UK sales agent, also provided full on-site
operator training.
The Compacts were specified by Buttle's following
a strong recommendation from its timber equipment
training advisor. With the extra revenue being
generated they expect the saws to have paid for
themselves in less than two years.
