T M Machinery delivers Striebig saw for museum

A Striebig Compact vertical panel saw has been bought to assist in the production of exhibition panels and associated items at London's Imperial War Museum.

The Compact is used by the museum's exhibition workshop department to size MDF, as well as Perspex and aluminium sheets and some solid timber.

It replaced a 25 year old German vertical saw that had reached the end of its working life.

A new exhibition is staged at the Lambeth museum every six months, requiring a variety of different sized display panels.

The saw is also occasionally used to prepare materials needed for other items such as exhibition plinths and desking.

The manually operated Compact 5207 is one of nine models in the Striebig Compact vertical panel saw series.

It has a cutting range of 4,600x2,070mm together with a cutting depth of 60mm.

An extensive range of accessories is available to further extend the saw's versatility.

The saw was bought from Striebig's sole UK dealer, T M Machinery Sales, of Leicester.

As it was available in stock it was delivered and installed within two weeks, with operator training provided.

All nine Compact models are now available in versions incorporating an automatic cut cycle facility to make them even more productive.

This feature was previously only to be found on Striebig's more expensive Control models.

T M Machinery Sales provides a total panel-sizing package which includes the supply of new and used machines, backed up by a highly efficient service and repair department.

It can also supply associated dust extraction equipment.
