To have the imagination to come up with a design in wood that can be turned into something which is both tangible and practical is a bit of a gift. In the good old days, as some may call them, carpenters would use band saws, special purpose-made chisels and a variety of other tools to make those cuts and shapes out of a sheet of wood.
This is a kind of artistry that is no longer much of a necessity because there are state of the art CNC cutting machines and routers that can do all this work in a fraction of the time.Couple this with the fact that with computerised machinery, as long as the calculation of the required cuts are correct in the beginning, the accuracy of any sheet cutting will be completed faster and more accurately and the work of a true carpenter has now changed..
However, when you are looking for someone to undertake the sheet cutting for you, it is crucial to source a reliable, experienced timber merchant. Whether you require sheet cutting undertaken for an invention or model you are putting together or a bulk order for a building, the optimisation software used ensures waste is kept to a minimum when completing the sheet cutting. This will of course help keep those all important costs down and can make an enormous difference when looking at bottom line costings.
The latest CNC Routers are capable of accepting boards more than 3 metres long and 1.2 metres wide, which can be drilled, grooved, shaped and even chamfered with 0.1mm accuracy. There is no need to worry if you haven’t got your plan drawn up on some computerised format as here at Booker Timber, we have the very latest technology at our disposal along with a team highly experienced in turning even hand sketches into the finished product.
