Selco
specialises in serving local trade and business
customers only from its 15,000 building products
available on a self-selection basis at each of
its 10 branches located in London, the Midlands,
South Wales and the West.
The
Compact TRK 4164 was supplied together with a
Maggi Junior 640 radial arm cross-cut saw and
associated twin bag dust extraction units by Blyth
Woodworking Machinery.
"We offer a panel and timber cutting service at
all our branches as an added facility for customers,"
said Selco's Marketing Services Co-ordinator,
Margaret Taggart. "Both saws are highly versatile
and enable us to meet all our customers' cutting
requirements."

The
space-saving Striebig Compact TRK 4164 is used
for cutting every kind of panel product including
MDF, MFC, plywood and chipboard, as well as worktops,
door blanks and wooden furrings for roof installations.
For
panels up to a maximum size of 3100mm x 1644mm
it has a maximum cutting depth of 60mm (2.5").
For added convenience multiple sheets of 18 or
25mm thick panels are sized at the same time.
Standard
features include the TRK extraction system - to
keep users ahead of the latest European legislation
- automatic moving backing support, and the option
of a scoring saw for laminates.
The
compact Maggi Junior 640 cuts wooden strips, planks
and lengths of sawn timber.
It
has a 350mm blade with a 4hp phase motor that
cuts to a depth of 100mm (4 inches) and has an
adjustable blade guard to ensure total safety.
Built with a sturdy cast iron base and arm for
added stability, it has a self-braking motor with
overload protection.

Said
Aiden Nutt of Blyth Woodworking Machinery: "Selco
asked us for the best vertical panel and radial
arm saws on the market, which is why we specified
Striebig and Maggi."
He
added that further twin-saw installations are
due to take place early in 2005 at two existing
Selco branches.
There
are Striebig saws at two other Selco branches
in the London area, at Croydon and Walthamstow,
plus Dudley, Stirchley and Tyseley in the West
Midlands, and Cardiff.
The
Swiss-made Striebig panel saws, which can also
be found in branches of B&Q, are imported into
the UK by sole agent, T.M. Machinery Sales, of
Leicester.
