When it comes to choosing the right saw for your workshop, it is important to understand the differences between each type of saw. We have a wide range of saws for all types of materials. It is important to understand the benefits and value in investing in high-quality machines.
Band saws
A Bandsaw is a really versatile machine for cutting wood, plastics or composites. The bandsaw has become an important machine for most workshops, bandsaws can be used to cut curves, shapes or deep ripping. Bandsaws blades are much thinner than circular saw blades: the benefit of the thin-kerf, is minimal loss of material. The wider the blade the easier it is to cut a deep straight line. The other benefit of bandsaws is their height under the guides which allows you to cut deeper than you could with a circular saw.
We have been supplying New ACM band saws for maybe years now. Since 1979 ACM designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of woodworking machines and special materials. The ACM BS range is an industrial range of woodworking Bandsaws, they are constructed with reinforced steel to add extra stability. Designed to be superior at cutting solid wood.
Beam Saw
A beamsaw is perfect for cutting panels and sheet materials to size, whether that be chipboard, MDF, Insulation, plastics or laminated boards. It called a beamsaw because the common feature of them is clamping beam which comes down on top of the board [or multiple boards], and then the mobile saw carriage moves underneath the material. This type of saw has a computer control which allows you to make multiple cuts and automate your cutting. This is great for medium to larger manufacturers. With in some machines or off line the machine can be linked to optimisation software which allow you to get the best yield from every panel. A beam saw is designed for repetitive, accurate cutting to size. We offer a range of as from Casadei Busellato which can be configured to your requirements.Beam saws are considered one the most cost-effective solution to precision panel cutting in production quantities.
Cross Cut Saws
If you find you need to cut the wood across the grain to length – a cross cut saw is exactly what you need. There are two big differences either blade above the table coming across the wood or the blade is underneath and comes up through the table. both types are designed for cutting materials to length, across the grain. The original type of crosscut saw was a radial arm saw or pendulum saw, which are very versatile but not particularly suited to continuous use.
Salvamac crosscut saw with the blade underneath are considered safer as the operator is further from the blade and cutting zone. This upcut type of saw can also be automated with automatic feeding systems. It also can allow you to safely cut multiple pieces at once making it a very efficient solution.
Panel Saws
Sliding Table Saw with Optimising
Panel saws are extremely helpful and useful machines and form the heart of most workshops in the woodworking industry. Designed for use to accurately cut large sheets of MDF, MFC, wood, chipboard, composites and plastics. Consisting of an aluminium sliding table sliding next to the saw blade, moving the material past the blade whilst fully supported. Machines can also include a secondary scoring saw blade which scores the lower surface in order to reduce the chance of breakout on the bottom surface. Modern panel saw can be either manual or more commonly now have electronic movements that provide users easy, quick use with precision and accuracy. Optimisation is now possible on sliding table saws - this can save a lot of time and materials showing the operator how to get the best yield from each board.

Table Saws
Table saws are the simplest form of saw, all modern saws now have a rise, fall and tilt mechanism. good for general ripping and bevel cutting solid timber. The depth of cut is determined by the diameter of the saw blade. We have a range of rip saws to cut up to 205mm depth of cut in solid wood. Harwi rip saws / table saws are known worldwide for its high quality and longevity. A rock solid design with a perfect finish ensures that every professional is well served.

Wall Saws
Wall saws are also referred to as vertical panel saw. This type of saw has been designed to offer woodworkers a space saving solution to traditional sliding table panel saws. A wall saw can stand within 1m of a wall, giving you more space within the workshop. Particularly popular within smaller workshops. Wall saws will provide you perfect precision, with a simple easy to use set up. These are available with scoring and automatic movements if required.

A pre-milling edgebander is a machine that mills or shapes the edge of a panel before applying edge banding. This process ensures a cleaner, more precise edge for better edge banding adhesion and a more professional finish
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Why it's used:
It helps to create a perfectly square and clean edge, especially when dealing with thicker panels or those cut with less precision. This also improves the quality of the glue joint between the edge banding and the panel.
How it works:
The pre-milling unit, often consisting of two counter-rotating cutterheads, removes a small amount of material from the panel's edge, creating a consistent shape
Edge banding offers numerous benefits, including improved durability, a professional aesthetic, and enhanced water resistance. It protects edges from damage, moisture, and wear, while also creating a finished look. Additionally, edge banding is available in a wide variety of materials and colors, allowing for customization and cost-effective solutions.
Here's a more detailed look at the advantages:
Protection:
Edge banding shields raw edges of wood products from moisture, wear, and tear, increasing their lifespan and durability.
Aesthetics:
It provides a finished, professional appearance, transforming raw edges into a polished look.
Customization:
Edge banding materials and finishes are available in a wide range of colors, textures, and styles, enabling designers to create unique and personalized pieces.
Cost-effectiveness:
It offers a cost-effective way to achieve a high-quality finish without the need for solid wood, which can be more expensive.
Durability:
Edge banding is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear, making it a long-lasting and resilient solution.
Ease of application:
Modern edge banding can be easily applied with heat and pressure or through specific machinery
Increased Productivity and Efficiency:
Modern woodworking machines, especially those with automation, can significantly speed up production processes, allowing for more work to be done in less time. This translates to faster turnaround times and potentially higher profits.
Enhanced Precision and Consistency:
Advanced machinery often incorporates features that ensure greater accuracy and consistency in cuts, shaping, and other woodworking tasks. This can reduce material waste and improve the overall quality of finished products.

Modern woodworking equipment can make a shop more attractive to skilled workers, as it allows them to perform more challenging and rewarding tasks.
A wide belt sander is an industrial sanding machine designed to process large panels, such as cabinet doors, table tops and veneered boards. These machines feed the workpiece under a moving abrasive belt using a conveyor system, applying even pressure across the surface.
The result is a consistent, flat finish that’s nearly impossible to achieve with handheld or small-scale machines—especially over long production runs.

Because you’re not just buying a machine — you’re investing in the future of your business.
We understand the temptation: Chinese CNCs often look attractive because of their low price. But as many have learned the hard way, that initial “savings” can come at a much greater cost down the road.
Our Italian-made Cosmec CNC machines represent decades of engineering excellence, craftsmanship, and pride. Every detail — from the precision of the spindle to the software interface — is built with long-term performance in mind. These are machines designed not just to run, but to run better, longer, and more reliably.
Superior Engineering: Italian machines are known worldwide for precision design, tighter tolerances, and long-lasting performance.
But let’s get real: machines are machines, and things can go wrong. And here’s where the difference becomes painfully clear. When you need a spare part for a Chinese CNC, where do you go? Who do you call? How long will you wait? Weeks? Months? That’s lost time, lost money, lost trust with your clients.
With us, support is not an afterthought — it’s part of the package. We offer fast access to spare parts, local service, and real human support when you need it. You’re not dealing with generic marketplaces or automated replies. You’re backed by a team that actually knows the machine inside and out — and cares about your uptime.
So yes, our machines may cost more up front. But they cost far less in stress, downtime, and replacements. They deliver better performance, a longer life, and a partner you can count on — not just a product.
That’s the Italian difference. That’s the value of choosing quality over compromise.
