used in commercial applications. Now this high quality surface has become
popular in residential homes.

from the presidents desk
This is my last column to members as I hand over
the Presidency to Rhys Powell at the Rotorua
conference in June. It would be great to be able to
report loads of positive aspects to the past two years, but
in fact it’s been a tough road for us all since 2009, and a
great deal tougher again for our Canterbury members.
The economic environment has thrown, and continues
to throw, enormous business challenges at us. I take my
hat off to all of you who’ve survived this recession and
I’m confi dent that we’ll see the building industry begin
to recover before the year is out.
The MJF has retained a focus over this period on
introducing NZS4211. I fi rmly believe that this will
spur new life into timber joinery for the home. The
Rotorua conference will introduce our plans for rolling
this out and how members can take advantage of this
new standard.
And this is why it’s a great time to leverage the benefi ts
of being a Master Joiner. We give you a solid brand
that customers can rely on. Customers are aware of the
dangers of shoddy building practices, they’re strapped
for cash and every dollar must count. But they can
research everything on the net and they’re spoilt for
choice. Most will prefer to choose tradesmen that are
backed by a reputable organisation like MJF.
There’s been a pleasing amount of entries for our national
awards and I’m looking forward to viewing these at
conference in Rotorua. And of course connecting with
friends and colleagues from around the country.
It has been a privilege to represent the Master Joiners
Federation these past years. The Executive team all
bring expertise and skills to the table, and I’ve learned
much from their experiences and have enjoyed working
alongside them. It’s good to see some younger joiners
stepping up to accept tomorrow’s challenges and steer
the MJF and its members towards a prosperous future.
Best wishes to you all, and see you in Rotorua.

Mayor

DNZ CEO Paul Duffy,
Auckland Mayor
Len Brown and The
Laminex Group
General Manager
Robert Gibbes.
Auckland Mayor Len Brown was in the hot seat recently
during the offi cial opening of The Laminex Group’s new
head offi ce and distribution centre in Penrose Auckland. The
Mayor tried out for size the J Chair which was designed by US
architect Michael Graves. The chair was one of nine designs
created by world-renowned US architects in 2008. It formed
part of a collection that was recently on display at the Formica
Formations Exhibition at the Aotea Centre.
The Laminex Group General Manager, Robert Gibbes, said the
organisation’s new purpose-built 12,378m 2 distribution centre
had brought together fi ve separate sites into the one purpose-built
facility. The premises which took 12 months to complete were
built by Fletcher Construction, with the Laminex Group leasing
both buildings from DNZ Property.
“The new offi ce building design incorporates environmentallyfriendly
initiatives including maximising the use of natural
lighting in all offi ce areas, low-energy sensor controlled lighting,
some reticulated water and waste recycling,” Robert said. “A
number of new technologies have also been introduced including
the placement of a state-of-the-art Hubtex lifting platform in
the warehouse.”
Manufactured in Germany, it is the fi rst of its kind in use in New
Zealand. It moves along a wire embedded in the concrete fl oor
and features a lifting platform capable of reaching heights of 7-8
metres, carrying weights of 1.5 tonnes.

From The Publisher
Interzum and FSM
I have had the fortunate opportunity to visit
interzum 2011 in Cologne recently to see
how things have developed particularly
in the architectural hardware scene. The
show was heavily attended indicating
things are not as bad as we might think.
Overseas attendees were up 24% over the
last show in 2009. The general feeling was
one of calculated optimism for the future.
New products abound as you will see in
our next couple of issues.
The reason I went to Germany was in fact
to attend the Annual meeting of members
of the International Woodworking &
Furniture Supplier Magazines’ Association
(FSM) of which JOINERS magazine
is now a member. There are some 27
countries involved in this Association. The
aim is to promote cooperation between
the various publications with such things
as exchange of articles, joint events and
information about individual markets.
This will lead to a better understanding
of the world scene rather than just a
local market. This should have some
exciting implications down the track for
the magazines involved. More on this as
developments occur.
All this aside, we have some interesting
features in this issue. Edgebanding
machinery and related products are a big
part of the joinery arsenal of technology.
We have some of the latest developments
in this issue. When it comes to fi nishes
in the kitchen and bathroom there are a
lot of options to consider and issues to
watch out for. We have some insights from
some of the leading suppliers on what to
look out for and what they have to offer.
This covers not only walls, ceilings and
splashbacks but also fi nishes for cabinetry
and internal joinery. Another important
aspect of the kitchen and indeed the
bathroom are sinks and benchtops. Having
a good (and expensive) looking sink and
benchtop is no longer the preserve of just
the well to do. They are now priced for any
size pocket. We show some of the latest
product from leading suppliers.
For Master Joiner members note that you
have coming up soon the Annual Master
Joiners Conference to be held in Rotorua
this year. We will have in depth coverage
of this including the winners in the Master
Joiner Awards and Apprentice Awards in
our September issue along with more on
interzum and a look at the international
woodworking machinery show Ligna
2011. Catch you next time.

JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 7

Two of the judges in this year’s inaugural
Formica Formations design competition
have been announced and include a top local
and international designer. The Laminex Group
Sales and Marketing Manager, Nicky Duggan,
said she was delighted with the line-up of
judges which include leading New Zealand
designer David Trubridge.
“David Trubridge has worked in the design
industry for over 18 years,” Nicky said.
“During that time, he has notched up numerous
accolades including being named by a French
magazine as one of the top 15 designers in the
world. In 2007, he was given New Zealand’s
highest design award – the John Britten Award
– by the Designer’s Institute of NZ.”
Also included on the judging panel is Formica
US Vice President of Design Renée Hytry
Derrington who was instrumental in initiating
a similar US design event. A third guest judge
is yet to be announced although The Laminex
Group is expecting that person to be an
internationally recognised architect.
“Having top industry professionals from
both New Zealand and overseas judging the
inaugural competition is a great refl ection of
how well supported the competition is within
the design community,” Nicky said.
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 8
Renée Hytry Derrington and David Trubridge
Judges announced for inaugural design competition
“Furthermore, having a leading light like
David Trubridge involved in this event will
ensure that New Zealand entries are judged to
a particularly high international standard.”
David said he was looking forward to judging
the competition. “I’m very interested in seeing
what kind of clever designs New Zealand
designers and architects can create,” he said.
“There are a number of very talented and
creative professionals in this country and a
strong collective of promising young designers.
I’m certain there will be some great entries and
am eager to see the fi nished results.”
The Formica Formations competition was
unveiled earlier this month by The Laminex
Group. The competition aims to encourage
both experienced and emerging designers
to pit their design talents against 10 of the
world’s best architects. The competition came
about following a successful collaboration in
2008 between Formica US and the Centre for
Contemporary Arts in Cincinnati.
“World-renowned architects were invited
to design a limited collection of furniture,
using Formica laminates and solid surface
materials,” Nicky said. “Ten distinctive chairs
– all museum pieces in their own right - were
constructed using over 420m 2 of Formica.”
Spurred on by the success of that project,
Formica in New Zealand devised its
own competition for local architects and
designers.
The 2011 Formica Formations competition
requires entrants to submit design drawings
for a piece of sculptural furniture that would
use Formica brand materials. The competition
aims to celebrate and showcase the creativity
of architects and designers throughout New
Zealand.
There are two entry categories – professional
architects and designers, and emerging
architects and designers. Individual and group
submissions of up to four team members will
be accepted. The Laminex Group will fabricate
the winning design from each category for
display at an offi cial awards ceremony later
this year.
Entries close on 31 July, with submissions
and further information available at www.
formicaformations.co.nz.

Winning With Wood
Lockwood and Verda
combine for showcase
The Lockwood Group is marking its 60th
anniversary by combining with Verda to stage
a showcase of innovative residential design
and building during Rugby World Cup 2011.
Their showcase site, at the Lockwood village
of show homes in Rotorua, will feature four
different designs of houses, together with
outdoor furniture and features by Verda.
The site will be one of a wide range of
showcase sites around New Zealand under
the Winning With Wood programme, aimed
particularly at showing some of the 85,000
RWC visitors the many innovative uses of
timber in New Zealand. Organised by NZ
Trade & Enterprise, Winning With Wood is
intended to promote exports of New Zealandmade
timber products, as part of the Real
New Zealand Showcase featuring 16 industry
sectors.
Lockwood and Verda’s site will be one
of the largest in Winning With Wood and
will feature an example of the innovative
Lockwood EcoSmart home, as well as Verda’s
sustainably treated outdoor furniture, decking
and panels.
Lockwood Group marketing manager Melanie
Short said the company decided to participate
in Winning With Wood because the group is an
innovative, Kiwi organisation and has a strong
export focus. “Verda and Lockwood have a
strong mutual relationship – our products are
complementary. We are really excited about
the opportunity to meet with returning Kiwis
and overseas visitors. We plan to ensure that
during the showcase overseas visitors are
greeted, welcomed and hosted.”
For Verda, a much newer timber success
story, Winning With Wood is an opportunity
to present a medium-sized company, with 60
staff, to visitors from around the world. Verda’s
Mathilde Carles said the company, founded in
2002, has been developing Australian and
European export markets over the past two
years and plans to grow its exports, especially
of premium decking, from 25% of turnover to
60-70% in the next four to fi ve years.
“New Zealand is hosting one of the biggest
sporting events, with 85,000 visitors from
everywhere in the world. This is a good
opportunity for a medium-sized company,”
she said.

Kiwi Lumber
committed to high standards
Kiwi Lumber is a privately owned New
Zealand company that operates three
modern sawmills in Putaruru, Dannevirke
and Masterton. The plants are strategically
situated to take advantage of the close
proximity to the large commercial plantations
in the Hawkes Bay, Wairarapa and Central
Plateau areas of the North Island.
Kiwi Lumber, which produces a range of
products specifi cally to meet the needs of
manufacturers in the furniture, joinery,
mouldings and building industries have
recently taken possession of three Clark
GEN2 8-tonne forklifts from NZ distributor,
Clark Equipment New Zealand Limited.
“Kiwi Lumber is committed to understanding
the needs of its customers, so it was
gratifying to find that Clark Equipment
has a like-minded approach and were
responsive towards finding solutions to
improve our competitiveness,” says Kiwi
Lumber’s Putaruru Site Manager, Grant
Williams. “This is extremely important,
as our customers operate in a competitive
global market and we also vie with other
international suppliers for their business.”
The three GEN2 forklifts have been supplied
with 1350mm lumber forks and will be used
for loading green and kiln dried timber
products on to T&T units. Also as a yard
fork for unloading dry timber, stacking and
feeding in and out of fi lleting and de-fi lleting
stations. As well, the forklifts will bring
dry semi-processed timber into the planer
operation and take fi nished goods out to the
pre-despatch storage area.
The GEN2 are particularly suited to
yard applications and in particular,
heavy manufacturing, stevedoring and
warehousing. With the combination of a
100HP engine, fully automatic 3-speed
‘smart shift’ transmission, wet disc brakes
and rugged chassis design, the GEN2 C80
provides the exceptional performance,
manoeuvrability and durability.
The GEN2 provides maximum visibility and
hydraulic cushioning valves to reduce shock
and vibration. The operator compartment
is state of the art and features among other
things, a fully adjustable suspension seat,
a tilt steering column and hood mounted
hydraulic controls. A parking brake that
disengages the transmission when applied
is a major safety feature.
Kiwi Lumber process radiata logs that are
milled entirely from renewable plantations,
all of which comply with New Zealand’s
environmental management policies. “Our
logs are purchased from these leading
forestry companies, allowing us to secure
grades of logs that are best suited to our
customer’s requirements,” says Grant
Williams. “With the increasing international
awareness of the desirability to harvest and
use a renewable resource, Kiwi Lumber
has expanded its export markets and now
supplies clients in North America, Asia,
Europe, Australia and throughout New
Zealand.”

GEN2 range of forklifts contact Clark

the country.
With Jerry Williams continuing
to provide technical expertise,

3D Kitchen sponsor
TAFE Awards
Chris and Rose Adams, owners
of 3D Kitchen, attended the
Holmesglen TAFE annual student
achievement award dinner in
Melbourne on 18th of May. The
Holmesglem Institute of TAFE is
one of Australia’s largest training
institutions training students in
the joinery, furniture and design
trades. 3D Kitchen has been
associated with the TAFE for
many years now and has been the
main award sponsor for the past
fi ve years.
It was a very enjoyable evening
and a unique opportunity to see
the extremely high degree of skill
these students have achieved. 3D
Kitchen provides over $3,000
worth of sponsorship to the TAFE
annually and it is a delight to be
able to provide sponsorship to such
worthy recipients. Congratulations
to all winners and in particular to
Ruben Becker (pictured above) on
winning the 3D Kitchen prize.
3D Kitchen also provides its full
design and production software
to the TAFE for student training
purposes. Because of the very
limited time the TAFE has to
teach its various modules, the
speed at which this software can
be learned is a key reason for
the TAFE choosing 3D Kitchen
as part of its cabinetmaking and
joinery teaching.

Sensational was the general consensus
amongst exhibitors at the end of this year’s
interzum. With 52,400 trade visitors from 147
countries, the leading international trade fair
for the furniture supplier industry was able to
announce growth of 13%. The internationality
of the visitor structure, traditionally always
high anyway, increased signifi cantly this year
with a plus of 24%. “I’m absolutely thrilled.
What’s been happening here over the last
few days is incredible. For four days, the
exhibitors have been showing what I can only
describe as a fi rework display. The industry has
been celebrating itself – with good reason,”
concludes Frank Haubold, product manager of
interzum and director of the imm cologne.
“With this interzum, Koelnmesse has defi nitely
underlined its position as a beacon for the
furniture industry. I don’t believe there is
any other trade fair venue in the world where
three absolute leading events for the respective
sectors take place so successfully, in such
concentrated form and in such a brief space
of time. We are creating precedents for an
extremely promising future,” says a visibly
satisfi ed Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse.
This year’s interzum was the international
meeting point for the supplier industry. The
mood was extremely good, exhibitors were
able to make new contacts and boost business.
And visitors had the opportunity to get a
comprehensive overview of what the sector
has to offer. There were sophisticated newly
developed products on show in all segments.
As in the past, it was mostly decision-makers
who came to interzum, an important aspect
repeatedly applauded by exhibitors. “It was a
very good fair for us. The number of visitors
was much higher than last time, and we’re very
satisfi ed with the quality of the visitors as well.
In our opinion, it was a fi rst-rate interzum,”
concludes Wolfgang Steib, executive board
member at Hettich.
And it’s not just the exhibitors who are satisfi ed
with the quantity and quality of the visitors.
The visitors were equally enthusiastic about
the comprehensive product spectrum on
show in Cologne. “It was an extraordinary
interzum! Great atmosphere, fantastic fl air,
attractive exhibitors with some very individual
presentations, and some very interesting
proposals for own idea pool,” commented one
trade visitor from abroad.
The supporting programme for this year’s fair
was more extensive than ever before and went
down extremely well with visitors. In particular,
the second edition of “innovation of interior”,
a forum for interior architects, tradesmen,
architects, designers and developers, was a
huge success. Together with Professor Hartmut
A. Raiser and Antonius Quodt, Koelnmesse
created a groundbreaking special exhibition
on materials, fi nishes and lighting.
“In our opinion, the ‘innovation of interior’
concept is a great success. We were delighted
to welcome so many visitors, principally
architects, but lots of visitors from other target
groups as well, and call their attention to our
innovations. They included lots of new contacts
for whom our presence in Hall 4.2 was the
starting point before going to our booth in Hall
7 for more in-depth information,” concludes
Julia Sohler, Marketing Communications
Offi cer at Blum GmbH.
This years “interzum award: material
innovations and design”, presented for the
fi fth time by Koelnmesse in collaboration with
red dot, again honoured some of the industry’s
most outstanding innovations. The top-notch
jury awarded prizes to a total of 43 products,
which were presented in their own special
exhibition on the boulevard for the duration
of the trade fair.

Infi nity benchtops are produced via economies of
scale. They come to us prefabricated as blanks and
only require joining together on site. A signifi cant
contributor to the high cost of acrylic tops is the
labour required to fabricate benchtops from scratch
out of raw sheet. Infi nity avoids this lengthy expensive
fabrication process, which allows us to offer a price
advantage with no compromise on quality as well as
a short lead time.
Seamless joins
A major plus of Infi nity tops is that the joins are almost
impossible to detect.
Hygienic
Infi nity is non-porous therefore hygienic as bacteria
can not harbour in the material.
Easy to Clean
Cleaning with simple soap and water, or Spray ‘n’
Wipe type products. The surface can also handle mild
abrasives like Jiff (which actually does the surface
good as it will remove any minor abrasions and scuff
marks.) Acrylic surfaces are non-porous therefore
will not stain.
Recoverable
Infi nity tops can be brought back to their original fi nish
by a simple sand and polish.
Touch
Smooth as silk and not as cold to the touch as stone
or stone composites.
Colour Fast
Infi nity tops being 100% acrylic are less likely to
fade when exposed to normal levels of UV. One of
the many benefi ts is, that your Infi nity top can easily
be restored to its original beauty many years later by
simply sanding and buffi ng. Consult any one of our
accredited installers to facilitate this work.
Guaranteed to Last
Häfele offers a 10 year warranty on Infi nity bench
tops.
The latest BLANCO range of sinks and taps include
Silgranit Puradur II sinks which are resistant to dirt
deposits, stains, metal abrasion as well as being scratch
resistant, heat resistant up to 280°C and resistant to
impact. The new satin stone fi nish with its unique
properties helps to repel water, preventing the build-up
of surface deposits, stains and lime scale and is easier
to care for than virtually any other surface.
The seamless nature of Infi nity combined with the
unique natural look of BlancoSilgranit Puradur II
sinks and taps, create an unbeatable duo in design
standards.

Mercer Products is proud to remain a
New Zealand manufacturer of Stainless
Steel sinkware and our Christchurch
facility produces a great number of the
excellent items that we sell.
“Cold off the press” might seem strange
at first, but the pressing process is
actually a cold one, done under immense
pressure with utmost care. The annealing
process (pictured in the background
right) is a heat treatment wherein a
material is altered, relieving internal
stresses, refining the structure by making
it homogeneous, and improving cold
working properties.
Our factory also allows us to produce
sinks and sinkware from the durable and
resistant 316 grade stainless steel. Greater
resistance to pitting and corrosion over
regular 304 grade makes 316 the choice
in tough environments, labs and medical
facilities. You will be able to tell the sink
is 316 grade as it
will have this logo
etched on it.

go local call from Mercer
New Zealand’s biggest sink manufacturer is calling on the Government to think local when it contracts suppliers for the mammoth
housing rebuild in Christchurch. Mercer Products, which manufactures and supplies kitchen sinks, laundry tubs and their “Bisonne”
laminate and “borelli” solid surface benching materials, is currently supporting its trade customers who in turn are tendering for
Department of Building and Housing contracts.
If they are successful, the Lunns
Rd factory would be able to extend
its 40 hour week, employing more
staff. General manager David
Mayell said allocation of contracts
to local business would provide
a much-needed stimulus to the
Christchurch economy.
“For us, there are opportunities
to assist with both the 10,000
temporary houses that are
earmarked for the city, and also the
thousands of homes that are likely
to be demolished and rebuilt.
The potential for well-positioned
Christchurch manufacturers and
suppliers to be part of the recovery
is huge. ”
“It is an excellent opportunity
for policy makers and businesses
to support Christchurch manufacturing
and thus employ people
that make up our Christchurch
community” Mayell says.
The business currently employs
50 staff across the country,
including 15 at its 3,000 m2 local
factory. The remainder work from
its centralised warehouse and
distribution centre in Hamilton,
which also houses its customer
service centre. Mercer’s products
are warehoused in the both
Hamilton and in Christchurch.
Currently around 70%, domestic
sales still make up the largest
proportion of business with
commercial sales taking up the
balance. Mercer’s name is part
of the fabric of Christchurch’s
heritage. The manufacturer dates
back nearly 130 years, established
in 1882 by James Mercer in Tuam
St before subsequently shifting to
Moorhouse Ave.
In 2002 Mercer Products built a
new purpose build sink factory,
on the Lunns Rd property shared
with its allied company, Mercer
Stainless Ltd which services the
dairy sector.
The move to purpose-built
premises suffered a severe blow
just short of a year later when fi re
damaged the factory’s fi nishing
room and the entire roof, causing
upheaval for the following six
months. Mayell, who’s been
general manager for the past 11
years, has vivid memories of the
work required to keep the factory
onstream.
While Mercer is the biggest sink
manufacturer in New Zealand, it
too has climbed the heady heights
of the building and renovations
boom but suffered falling volumes
during the economic downturn.
Despite this, Mercer Products
in New Zealand has remained
profitable – this being due to
its strong market position, its
quality product and ability to meet
customer requirements.
“We’ve been working 40 hours
a week but an automated factory
like ours has potential to greatly
increase production as required
so that we could conceivably
manufacture around the clock,”
Mayell said. It’s that investment
in sophisticated plant and
equipment, which helps keep
Mercer Products competitive in
the face of increasing imports – its
largest rival.
“By manufacturing locally we can
keep our raw materials and fi nished
goods inventory at required market
levels for supply, and keep local
people employed.”

Sinks can be integrated into custom stainless steel benchtops from
Burns & Ferrall. The benchtops are made from 304-grade steel, and
are available in a range of textures, including brushed, satin and
classic fi nishes.
a true trend setter
stainless steel benchtops
Every decade is defi ned by different fashions, but there is
one material that has endured the changing trends in kitchen
design. Stainless steel is in fact even more sought after today
than it was in the 50’s. But it is fair to say today’s kitchen
benchtops and sinks are a far cry from those early models.
The latest designs from Burns & Ferrall refl ect the increasing
high-tech nature of the modern kitchen.
Just as kitchen designs have become more streamlined in
recent years, so have material palettes become more refi ned.
And one of the most noticeable trends is the move towards
raw materials that provide a crisp, sleek look. Burns &
Ferrall’s custom stainless steel benching is transforming
modern kitchens. The benchtops, which are made from highgrade
304 stainless steel, once only seen on a sink bench or
in a commercial kitchen, is now the material of choice for an
increasing number of homeowners.
Burns & Ferrall believe the growing demand for stainless steel
surfaces can be attributed to the sleek, contemporary aesthetics
and its renowned benefi ts. Stainless steel is a highly durable
and hygienic surface – one that won’t chip or stain. In fact,
many designers say the more it wears, the better it looks.
Burns & Ferrall, a specialist stainless steel benchtop
manufacturer offer new fi nishes and plenty of scope for
designers. As well as the Classic and Satin fi nishes, a variety
of decorative textured surfaces are available. Custom stainless
steel benchtops also come with a choice of up stand and fascia
profi les, and may incorporate sink bowls.

than average cabinet – making it perfect those looking to maximise storage space.
The new Largo LAX 110 45 boasts ultra-modern looks and generous proportions,
yet the bowl squeezes perfectly within a slender 500mm-wide base unit.
Undermounted sinks are essential ingredients for achieving a sleek, streamlined
kitchen design and are particularly stunning when combined with granite, wood
and other solid surfaces. With their silky stainless steel finish, the five new Largo
models are a great example of the undermounted look working its magic.

CDK Stone makes digital measuring simpler!
CDK Stone New Zealand Ltd, based
on Auckland’s North Shore, is owner
operated and is dedicated to bringing “Quality
Diamond Tooling Solutions” to their customers
to help them process stone both effi ciently and
cost effectively.
The company offers an extensive range of stone
processors’ tools that will get the job done
from start to fi nish including cutting blades,
abrasives, profi ling tools, handling equipment,
adhesives, sealers and cleaners.
Included in their range of products that will
improve and stream-line the stone industry
are the Proliner ® Series Measuring Devices,
the world’s leading digitizer in 2D and 3D
measurements. The Proliner ® Series uses the
Proliner ® Principle which is very simple:
measuring with a wire.
At the end of the length of measuring wire is a
metal measuring pen. By simply marking the
relevant points with the pen, for example the
corners of a kitchen countertop, the points are
directly translated into a digital DXF CAD fi le.
Measurements can be made of even the most
complex of shapes to an accuracy of 0.5mm in
just seconds saving time and reducing errors.
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 24
The digital drawing that is produced can
then be used to operate your CNC machine,
print your plots or be used as a base for your
design. To view a demonstration on using the
Proliner ® go to http://www.youtube.com/user/
ProdimInternational#p/f
The Proliner ® can be used easily by a single
person being compact and easy to carry. It
reduces time spent on-site taking measurements,
and ensures measurements taken are accurate
and reliable. The Proliner ® is an invaluable
investment that will pay for itself for many
years to come.
By simply marking the
relevant points with the pen,
for example the corners of a
kitchen countertop, the points
are directly translated into a
digital DXF CAD fi le.
CDK Stone customers who have purchased
the Proliner ® to date are more than satisfi ed
with it’s performance. And should the need
ever arise that repairs need to be made as
part of their commitment to customer service
CDK Stone carry a loan machine for that rare
occasion.

CDK cares for your stone
When it comes to caring for stone kitchen
benchtops CDK Stone brings you
Lithofin, a product range that has been
developed in Germany over the past 50 years
and has become synonymous with quality.
CDK highly recommends that new natural
stone tops are sealed using a high quality
impregnating sealer to largely prevent liquid
pollutants from penetrating the surface – the
Lithofi n Stain-Stop range has been designed for
this purpose and is available in both water and
solvent based products. The application process
is easy, and with correct maintenance will help
protect stone for up to 20 years.
As natural and engineered stone in kitchen
benchtops are subjected to heavy wear, they
need maintaining. Regular cleaning with
Lithofi n MN Easy-Clean will not only help
remove grease, oil and general dirt but will
also help enhance the natural colour and lustre
of the stone. MN Easy-Clean comes in a ready
to use spray bottle and has been designed
specifi cally to help support the effectiveness
of the impregnating sealer which in turn will
extend the lifetime of the natural stone top.
To keep stone benchtops looking polished and
brand new, especially marble, Lithofi n MN
Polish Cream comes to the rescue. It produces
a sheen, enhances the natural appearance and
produces a protective layer to help stop any
pollutants from penetrating the stone surface.
Used monthly and after cleaning MN Polish
Cream will also make blemishes and scratches
less visible.
As an ideal gift for new stone benchtop owners,
CDK Stone have available an extensive
Lithofi n Carekit that includes:
• MN Polish Cream White 125mL
• MN Power Clean 500mL
• MN Easy Clean 500mL
• Non-abrasive nylon scrubbing sponges
• Micro fi bre cleaning cloths
• Care Instructions
CDK Stone are the exclusive NZ distributor of
Lithofi n products, and offer a training service
to applicators and resellers.

Appliances

TEKA RANGE
Totara Marketing is pleased to announce the introduction of a select
range of sinks and appliances from our Teka range.
Teka sinks and appliances are available in over 125 countries worldwide,
across fi ve continents, and are backed by over 80 years experience.
A household name in Europe, Teka is synonymous with quality and
performance across all sectors that it competes in.
SINKS
At the heart of every discerning kitchen is discerning sink wear with Teka
fi tting this bill, however not carrying the price tag you would expect.
Manufactured in 18/10 surgical grade stainless steel for premium quality.
A selection of bowl & drainer and top or under mounted sink options
are available to cater to any requirements.
APPLIANCES
The appliance range includes multifunction ovens in fi ngerprint resistant
stainless steel, ceramic and gas hobs, induction hobs and range hoods
with extremely quiet extraction.
The Teka steam oven has been designed with the reservoir sitting on the
top of the oven, so that the standard width oven lay will fi t inside the
oven. Unique compared to other European brands where oven width is
often compromised to fi t the reservoir.
Teka’s attention to design detail ensures that when you look around a
kitchen you’ll notice that the digital displays on cook tops and ovens
match, the luster of the stainless steel used on the gas hob is the same
as the oven and the sink. Often a mismatch of appliances leads to
differing stainless fi nishes throughout the kitchen whereas the Teka
range uniquely avoids this.

PROJECT RANGE
Now Totara Marketing is offering sinkwear and appliance solutions
catering to the developer and home makeover market, where quality
and cost effectiveness are factors.
SINKS
All project sinks are .9mm 18/10 304 stainless steel, which is above the
NZ expected standard, making this range not only affordable but reliable
and of the highest quality.
Included in the range is the slim line series, perfect for narrow bench
tops, coming with the option of single, one ¼ & double bowl with
drainer. The 500 series includes all standard sink formats, including a
one ¼ bowl model without drainer, popular for apartments and smaller
kitchens. Our Project range is extensive & can cater and cover the needs
of all requirements.
APPLIANCES
Totara is pleased to introduce the Project range of appliances, which are
affordable coming from leading manufacturers. The range consists of an
8 function oven, touch control ceramic hob (including a two burner touch
control hob) through to gas hobs and a selection of range hoods.
* SPECIAL
For a limited time, to introduce the range into the market
we are offering a package consisting of oven, hob (gas or
ceramic) & rangehood for under $1,000. Contact us at
Totara Marketing for more information.

meeting benchlines with a TN38
One of the better known specialists of custom built benchtops using high pressure decorative laminate are Franklin Laminates Ltd
based in Drury, Auckland. Established in 1985, the business is owned by the Smith family headed by Graeme Smith. It has been a
while since JOINERS Magazine last looked at Franklin Laminates so Bob Nordgren caught up with Graeme recently to fi nd out
what’s new.
Although Franklin Laminates
manufacture benchtops for the
consumer their forte is as a provider
to the trades. There have been two
more recent developments that
have impacted positively on the
growth of the business. The fi rst
was the establishment some seven
years ago of the Benchtops Direct
brand. “This was to cater for those
throughout New Zealand who
wanted to have a replacement HPL
benchtop made specifically for
their home at good prices. With
targeted television advertising this
brand has grown over the last few
years.” Graeme says.

JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 28
“With these benchtops being
custom made, largely from
Wilson Art Laminate from
Parburys, we are also able to
provide consultation, design
and pattern making services.
We can supply appliances, sink
inserts and faucets and offer a
door replacement service. We
take pride in our installation
expertise and have the experience
to handle all commercial and
domestic maintenance projects as
required.”
The second development has
been providing for all the HPL
benchtop requirements for Mitre
10 stores, New Zealand wide
through Stewart Scott Cabinetry
who supply both fl at pack or built
up kitchens for Mitre 10.
“We process 30mm and 36mm
thick benchtops in longer lengths
for more flexibility in a range
of some thirteen colours. The
challenge for us has been to keep
up with demand and continue to
produce a high quality product
for both Stewart Scott Cabinetry
and Benchtops Direct.” comments
Graeme.
To meet this challenge the company
turned to their long time supplier
of specialist machinery Steve
Fifi eld from Pro Form NZ Ltd.
“Pro Form have always been great
for quality both in the machinery
and the service Steve provides. It’s
comforting dealing with a Kiwi
manufacturing machinery in New
Zealand – with the experience of
New Zealand conditions to go
with it.” says Graeme.
In February this year they installed
a brand new TN 38 Flow through
post forming machine from Pro
Form.
Graeme explains “In a nutshell,
this machine provides for a more
exact method of post forming. It’s
effi cient and gives a guaranteed
result. A key to the machine
for us was the ability to form a
tighter radius consistently. In fact
the machine was purpose built
to meet this requirement. It was
a real plus having a very good
machinery manufacturer like Pro
Form who could deliver what we
wanted and give us a competitive
advantage.”
The TN 38 Flow through comes
with three primary forming stations
plus two secondary forming
stations and is solidly built from
welded steel plate construction.
The PVA glue application is
electronically controlled and this
enables the TN 38 to be operated in
full automatic mode “Productivity
with this machine has been great
and more importantly the precision
the machine offers means we can
be assured of consistent quality.
This is particularly important
when producing larger volumes.”
Graeme points out.

driven by a universal 5mm Hex drive which offers easier, stronger
and faster unrivalled tensioning power. Allows the user to tension the
bolt with a hand-held hex driver or power drill in seconds, eliminating
the diffi cult handling and time consuming problems associated with
using a spanner.
What about the strength?
Zipbolt’s mechanism is EXTREMELY strong and in addition to this,
the mechanism is a geared one which means that the joint is actually
tighter than the pressure on the driver feels! Add all this together with
the new ALL METAL Housing and ZIPBOLT really is a winner!
What about boards thinner than 30mm?
No problems there, just use the 5808 UT MINI Zipbolt: all the same
design but just SO slim-line it will join boards as thin as 16mm!
The 5808 UT Mini was the result of an engineering challenge to
retain the strength of the Zipbolt mechanism but scale it all down
... we did it!

5808 Mini Connector
Do they really save time?
Absolutely! In trials we proved it over 75% quicker even than ratchet
spanners! You only have to ask those that use them to hear that they
really do save time and effort.
But they’re more expensive than standard worktop connectors?
We answer NO! If you accurately put your time to account and allow
for it, you will fi nd that ZIPBOLT saves you money. Not only this,
it also ensures installation on site is SO much quicker: SAVE TIME
WHEN TIME IS MONEY!

FINISHES
making the kitchen and bathroom look just right
When creating a new or
renovated kitchen or
bathroom a key decision in the
fi nal appearance is what fi nish to
use. This is not only important
for aesthetic reasons but also for
practical reasons.
When it comes to paint fi nishes
oil based paints have traditionally
been the paint type favoured but
with the advances made in paint
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 34
technology in recent years this
is not now necessarily the case.
Acrylic water based paints have
in particular made big inroads
into this market. All sorts of paints
can now be considered be it for
walls, ceilings, cabinetry and
even painted glass splashbacks.
They are easier to use and offer
characteristics not unlike oil based
paints
The common issues to deal with in
the kitchen and bathroom are good
preparation of the surfaces to be
painted, dealing with grease and
mould and exposure to moisture,
splashing or steam. Dealing with
these issues and making sure you
have a durable, cleanable surface
has been to the forfront for paint
manufacturers. Preparation of the
surface to get as smooth a surface
as possible and using purpose made
undercoats, largely to remove the
mould element and give good
adhesion, is recommended by
manufacturers.
Oil based paints have the
advantage of durability but are
not so eco friendly with potential
problems with toxins and odour.
Acrylic water based paints have
been developed to give enamel
like fi nishes without these sorts
of problems and the products now
available are signifi cantly better
than even a decade ago.
When it comes to paint sheens
there are a variety to consider for
different applications. While most
manufacturers have developed all
paint fi nishes with good cleaning
qualities, the general rule is
the shinier the paint finish the
better it will stand up to washing
and cleaning. In kitchens and
bathrooms a semi gloss at least
is the norm while a fl at fi nish is
commonly used for ceilings.
Gloss paint because of its high
refl ectivity is used for effect on
cabinetry, trim and furniture.
An interesting issue is the
susceptibility of water borne
interior products to surfactant
leaching. This is an appearance
issue not one of durability. Have
a look at the article from Resene
in this feature for more details and
ways to avoid it.
What follows are products
recommended by some of the
leading paint suppliers from their
particular ranges. These products
are the result of intensive research
and development and offer both
the trade and the consumer
significant advances in paint
technology, sheens and colours.
For oil coatings and stains for
wood there is the range from a
leading German manufacturer
(Osmo).
The key to a good fi nish as with
any job is to use the right product
for the job at hand. The best
advice is talk to the manufacturer
if unsure. They have a wealth of
expert information on tap. With
the multitude of products now
available this is more than just
advice, it is common sense.

Resene
kitchen & bathroom range
Resene makes a range of Environmental
Choice approved products to help your
kitchen and bathroom keep its good looks
and clean surfaces. Resene SpaceCote
Low Sheen Kitchen & Bathroom and
Resene Lustacryl Kitchen & Bathroom
(semi-gloss) combine antibacterial silver
protection and MoulDefender mould inhibitor
– perfect for minimising unwanted nasties in
kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. Use Resene
SpaceCote Low Sheen on your walls and
complement it with Resene Lustacryl on your
trims and doors.
We also tend to clean the walls in kitchens and
bathrooms more than many other areas of our
homes. Resene Interior Paintwork Cleaner
is a labour-saving, non-dulling, neutral cleaner
designed for use on all interior painted surfaces.
Quick and easy to use, it dries film-free,
eliminating the need for rinsing. For cleaning
instructions, see the Resene Caring for Your
Paint Finish brochure free from Resene
ColorShops or available from the Resene
website, www.resene.co.nz.
And to keep your kitchen ceiling looking
cleaner, Environmental Choice approved
Resene SpaceCote Flat Fly Deterrent
discourages fl ies from sitting on the surface,
reducing the appearance of fl y spots. Resene
Fly Deterrent can also be added into other
Resene waterborne paint finishes, such
as Resene Lustacryl, for use on trims and
joinery.
For a consistently coloured finish specify
Resene ArmourCat, an acid catalysed
fi nish designed especially for areas such as
spraypainted cabinetry and benches. This
product is formulated to tint accurately to the
Resene colour standards, so you won’t end
up with poorly matched cabinetry colours.
Resene ArmourCat has excellent coverage
and durability and is available in an extensive
selection of Resene Total Colour System hues,
Resene Metallic fi nishes and gloss and satin
clears. Homeowners will be very disappointed
if their wall colour and cabinetry colours do not
match up as expected.
Inject some colour into the kitchen with a
painted glass splashback. Resene Imperite
IF 503 is ideal for this job and with the
introduction of red and magenta tones, you can
tint an extensive range of Resene colours into
this product or enjoy a metallic effects fi nish
if preferred.
But before you start the painting, make sure
you have completed the surface preparation
well. This includes treating moss and mould,
grease and applying an adhesion primer such as
Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer
over smooth areas to provide good adhesion
for subsequent topcoats. Grease should be
cleaned with Sugar soap or a cleaner such as Jif
and nicotine stains can be treated with Resene
Emulsifi able Solvent Cleaner before applying
the paint system.
Bathrooms and kitchens are prone to high
levels of moisture, which can result in mould
growth. Moss and mould must be killed prior
to applying a paint fi nish, otherwise they will
continue to grow through the paint fi nish and
ruin the fresh paintwork. Kill moss and mould
with Resene Moss & Mould Killer, correctly
diluted with water.
For a fi nishing touch in a kitchen, consider
adding a wall in Resene Blackboard Paint,
Resene Magnetic Magic or Resene Writeon
Wall Paint and make the use of the wall
space for notes, reminders or hanging photos.
Resene Magnetic Magic is a basecoat full of
metallic oxides that can be overcoated with
your choice of Resene waterborne topcoats.
Once dry and cured you can use rare earth
magnets to hold things onto the wall without
damaging the paint fi nish. Resene Write-on
Wall Paint is a clear fi nish designed to impart
a whiteboard style fi nish on walls. Simply coat
over any existing Resene wall colour, then once
dry and cured you can write all over it using
whiteboard markers or liquid chalk. Rub out
the writing with a soft lint free cloth and then
start writing all over again. Because the fi nish
is clear the paint colour underneath will show
through, so your ‘whiteboard’ style fi nish will
fi t in with the rest of your room décor. A Resene
Write-On Wall Paint fi nished wall is a very
handy option for writing reminders and to do
lists in a kitchen.
If you’re looking for colour inspiration,
the Resene The Range 2011/12 has plenty
of exciting colours to try and The Range
Whites & Neutrals provides some classic
complementary colours.

Surfactant
leaching
Waterborne interior products in
particular are vulnerable to surfactant
leaching, where some areas of the
paint surface appear to be covered
in white streaks, giving a watermark
effect. Surfactant leaching only affects
the appearance of the paint fi nish, not
its durability. It cannot be accurately
predicted or prevented but tends to
occur when moisture settles on a
fi lm, such as in a steamy room like a
bathroom when there is moisture in the
air on a cold and wet day or in humid
conditions. Colours with higher levels
of tinter are most prone to surfactant
leaching.
Surfactant leaching is caused by water
sitting on freshly applied waterborne
paints. Water softens the fresh paint and
draws out water soluble surfactants. As
water dries off these are deposited on
the surface. These deposits are easily
removed early on by simply cleaning
the surface following the interior
paintwork instructions. The problem
may occur once or twice again before
all leachable material is completely
removed. If left, the deposits can etch
the surface and leave a permanent
mark. This should diminish over a
few months and is only of cosmetic
concern.
Surfactant leaching is usually associated
with marginal painting conditions. To
prevent surfactant leaching, it is best to
avoid application in the late afternoon
if cool, damp conditions are expected
in the evening or overnight. Ensure
adequate ventilation is maintained
during the drying period. If surfactant
leaching does occur, clean the surface
as soon as possible to avoid permanent
marking.

High Performance Coatings
for Kitchens and Bathrooms
Mirotone has one of the most comprehensive
ranges of coatings available designed to protect
and beautify interior wood and wood related
substrates. One measure of a “robust” coating
system, is how easy it is to achieve a good
commercial fi nish under a diverse range of
application conditions. Another measure is how
well the coating will perform after application
when the coated article is in service.
Does it have the following attributes:-
• Adhesion
• Flexibility
• Impact resistance
• Non-Yellowing
• Chemical resistance to common household
reagents including water, wet heat resistance,
acetone (nail polish remover), methylated
spirits (alcohol), beetroot juice, coffee, and
household bleach
Which Coating System is the Best?
No coating in any particular product category
is better or worse, in an absolute sense, than a
coating in a different product category. The
question of which coating is “the best” is entirely
dependent upon the application equipment
and environment, skill and experience of the
coating applicators, and the substrate/article
to be coated
MIROBILD Acid Catalysed (AC) Coatings
are two component coatings with high build,
and usually with extended pot life greater
than 24 hours. They are typically fast drying,
but this is dependent upon fi lm build. A full
range of gloss levels are available from matt
to full gloss, and they offer good chemical and
water resistance. Their typical applications
are commercial furniture & fi ttings, bathroom
vanities, kitchen cabinetry
MIROTHANE Polyurethane (PU) Coatings
are two-component coatings with high build;
typically with much shorter pot life than for
AC’s. They are low odour in application, and
in service, and are formaldehyde free. They
offer excellent fl exibility and therefore superior
scratch and impact resistance. Their excellent
chemical and water resistance, means they are
recommended for very heavy wear or severe
environments such as bar tops, bathroom
vanities, and commercial table tops.
Some kitchen and bathroom designs demand
the wood grain effect with clear coatings to
enhance this. Both water based and solvent
based stains in a wide range of colours are
available to provide this before the fi nal clear
coating fi nishes the job. A recent innovation
from Mirotone is the Sunshield Polyurethane
which is a clear topcoat with UV inhibitors in
the formulation. The benefi ts to designers are
that it offers a non-yellowing coating suitable
for reconstituted wood veneers and light
coloured timbers, in kitchens where the natural
wood look is desired.
To care for your coated kitchens or bathroom
surfaces, use only a soft cloth. If cleaning
is required again, a soft cloth plus mild
detergent.
DO NOT do the following:-
• use abrasive clears or “spray and wipe”
solutions
• use furniture polishes containing silicones
• leave liquid spillages to pond on horizontal
surfaces or to drip down vertical faces
• place hot dishes, pots, pans, cups or mugs
directly onto coated surfaces
• allow fingernail polish and removers,
personal deodorants, perfumes, aftershave
lotions or soaps to come into contact with
coated surfaces
• drop or throw sharp or heavy objects on or
against the coated fi nish
• use excessive force to remove stubborn dirt
or grease especially on coated fi nishes with
semi-gloss, satin or matt fi nishes

UltraProof
is Ultra Good
Taubmans get it right
for the trade and the consumer
The developmemt of acrylic enamel technology in recent
years has made great steps forward in response to market
demand for safer alternatives to solvent based paints
particularly for use in areas such as the kitchen and bathroom
where the age old problems of moisture and grease are
factors. The UltraProof range from Taubmans, now owned by
Wattyl, is a very good example. Described as their advanced
third generation of acrylic enamel technology, this range has
characteristics that make it ideal for both the trade user and
the consumer.
The beauty of the UltraProof product is that it can indeed be
used in most situations where oil based fi nishes have been
traditionally used. The product is based on an advanced
acrylic formulation with enamel like properties. It contains
crosslinking resins to give an enamel like fi nish which can be
applied over existing suitably prepared enamels or acrylics.
More signifi cantly though is that it is water based, has a low
odour and is non toxic. With anti blocking properties, it is
suitable for use on opening doors and window frames and is
recommended for interior and exterior trim, timber joinery as
well as broadwalls in wet areas such as bathrooms, laundries
and kitchens.
From the trade perspective the UltraProof range is ideal: it can
be applied by brush or roller, will cure on surfaces as cold as 5
degrees celcius, it is touch dry in forty minutes and recoatable
in four hours. The big thing for the end user in the kitchen
or bathroom in particular is that the fi nish is hardwearing,
cleans easily and colours are non yellowing.
The product is available in a range of colours and sheen levels
including gloss, semi gloss and satin as well as eggshell.
UIltraProof Eggshell is of special note because the sheen
level is consistent regardless of viewing angle, enabling
you to deliver a sophisticated aesthetic without the need to
compensate for minor defects in the underlying surface which
may result in a lower quality fi nish on walls. The UltraProof
range of fi nishes is well regarded and has a loyal following
of consumers and those in the trade.

Osmo - a natural finish for all occasions
Osmo Holz & Color GmbH & Co in Warendorf, Germany are world renowned specialists in producing wood fi nishes tailored to
the specifi c properties of wood. In early April, local distributor Richard Lawton of Natural Oils Ltd hosted a seminar at the Home
Ideas Centre in downtown Auckland. Osmo senior technician Paul Lockwood-Lee outlined the Osmo range, including a number of
new products, and answered questions from attendees that included architects, fl oor sanders, cabinetmakers and joiners. JOINERS
Magazine tagged along to see what was on offer.
There are some twenty fi ve colour
shades of transparent and opaque
finishes in the Osmo range for
interior use and more than fi fty
for external applications. Some
colours are not held in New
Zealand but can be easily ordered
from Germany.
Paul points out that there are four
key attributes with the product:
high coverage saving time and
money while providing a micro
porous finish that allows the
wood to “breathe”; they are safe
for humans, animals and plants
with no biocides or preservatives
and based on purifi ed and refi ned
raw plant materials; the wood
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 40
fi nishes are tailored to the specifi c
properties of various wood
types; and the product has been
independently tested meeting the
required standards compliance.
Focusing on interior applications,
there are two distinct types of
finishing – clear or coloured.
Because they are a safe product
they can be used on all manner
of product from fl oors, cabinetry,
doors and architraves to joinery.
The interesting part is the horses
for courses approach Osmo have
taken. A couple of examples
bear this out. The fl agship of the
Osmo range is Polyx Oil – a clear
hard fi nish in either matt or satin-
0800 477 869 www.ingersollrand.co.nz
matt. It is dubbed “The natural
alternative to polyurethane”. Their
Wood Wax Finish Transparent or
Opaque (now known as Creativ)
is particularly recommended for
furniture and children’s toys. It
is based on natural oil and waxes
and is resistant to wine, cola
and coffee stains. Their Wood
Protector product is recommended
for woods susceptible to blue stain
in rooms prone to dampness such
as the kitchen or bathroom as well
as children’s outdoor toys which
must be treated with a fi nish that
is safe for humans, animals and
plants. It does not contain any
biocides either. Another product
of interest is their TopOil which
is a special oil and wax mixture
used as a clear treatment for
furniture and wooden kitchen
work tops. With a high solid
content and porosity as well as
water repellant and non abrasive
characteristics it is ideal for these
types of surfaces.
This specialized approach also
applies to the clear and coloured
types of fi nish. Where a coloured
finish for a floor is required
one coat of Wood Wax Finish
Transparent or Opaque (Creativ)
followed by one or two coats
of clear Polyx Oil be it satin or
matt is the order of the day. This
Polyx (the original Hardwax Oil)

product is a hardwearing, non
abrasive and extremely durable
special fi nish for wooden fl ooring
particularly good for cork and
OSB boards as well as concrete,
terracotta and unglazed tiles. The
water resistance of fl oors treated
with this product exceeds that
of conventional parquet seals
and varnishes. For a clear fi nish,
two coats of Polyx Oil should be
applied. For even faster drying
properties there is Polyx Oil Rapid
that dries in only two hours.
On the other hand, for oily or
resinous timbers such as Matai,
Totara, Merbau, Rosewood
or Wenge to name a few,
Osmo have developed the 2K
product commonly called “2
component” comments Paul.
This is a professional fi nish for
commercial use in areas such as
cafes, restaurants and other high
traffi c environments. It is new to
New Zealand and Australia.
On floors, 2K is applied by
machine. Two coats about an
hour apart and each buffed in with
a green pad are the norm. A fi nal
buffi ng with a white pad is then
required. The fi nish is dry in four
hours at which time furniture can
be put back.
The list of products from Osmo is
too exhaustive to cover but there
is something for nearly every
application.
Osmo have a range of accessories
from resin, paint, stain and
mould removers, wood revivers,
buffers, brushes, fl oor roller sets,
many of which are new to New
Zealand. The range of product
for exterior applications is just as
impressive.
The seminar drew intense
interest from those who attended.
Interestingly, for those looking

Biesse – innovation for growth
In the international environment of Ligna 2011,
the biennial trade fair that makes Hannover the
world capital of woodworking technologies
for fi ve days, Biesse’s management led by
the Chairman, Roberto Selci, presented to
an audience of clients and sector specialist
from over 90 countries, the new technologies
developed to guarantee increasingly targeted
responses to client requirements, high standards
of quality, fi nish and design; the fi rst results
achieved and the new three-year plan.
A real novelty this year was the presence of
Biesse in Pavilion 24, at Ligna, dedicated to
the “lightweight.network” as a global leader
focused on technological innovation and new
materials. This area involved companies
which, to different degrees, contribute to
the processing of light panels and which
are distinguished by the excellence of the
technology they apply to this type of material.
The objective of this pavilion was to create
a focal point within the fair representing a
genuine skills centre and an opportunity for
producers and suppliers. Live demonstrations
were held during the exhibition to show
participants how to produce a fi nished product
with these avant-garde technologies.
The innovations being presented at the Fair
included the complete range of 5 axes machine
centres, dedicated to the processing of both
panels and solid wood with an offer combination
capable of satisfying large industrial companies
as well as small and medicum sized companies.
The solutions for window and door fi ttings
met with a great public reception over the
exhibition, including not only the innovative
technologies of the Multicentri Uniwin and
the Rover WMS machine centres but also the
range of Sanders and Calibrators from Viet, an
historic brand that recently became part of the
Biesse Group, and also the new Hybrid Doors
for packaging doors and windows.
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 46
Biesse also presented signifi cant innovations
in drilling machines which has broadened its
range with the new Skipper V31 and EKO 902,
vertical drilling machines recently introduced
under the Bre.Ma brand for small and mediumsized
businesses.
Another Biesse innovation highlighted was the
NEW EcoLaser, the latest generation technology
integrated with the Stream edgebander; edging
using a diode laser that guarantees excellent
aesthetic results! This application eliminates
the adhesive line between the edge and the
panel, whilst retaining optimum adhesive
results. It operates by using laser rays to fuse
the internal layer of coextruded edge and
the panel surface. The EcoLaser solution is
keeping in line with Biesse Group philosophy,
offering a laser machine with a ratio of energy
consumption to emitted power that is lower
than those of other systems. In fact, with
approximately 6kW of installed power. The
NEW EcoLaser technology allows for the
edging of varying materials, thickenss and
colour, all applied with speed, fl exibility and
effectiveness! For more information regarding
Biesse’s latest innovation goto our Facebook
page www.Facebook/Biesse Group Australia
for an exclusive interview with Pierlugi Tacchi
of Biesse S.p.a outlining key advantageous.
The Ligna Trade fair took place following
a very important year for Biesse, a year in
which the company has succeeded in obtaining
good results at the level of both revenues
and margins, and the figures confirm it.
Consolidated revenues in 2010 rose by 22%
with a return to positive results at both the
EBITDA and EBIT level. The results for the
fi rst four months of 2011 are also reassuring
both because of the signifi cant increase in
revenues and for the consistent growth in orders
received, which at the end of April was 20%
higher than that for the same period of 2010.
“Investments in technology,
attentiveness to client needs
and energy savings is now the
focus of the Biesse Group’s
development strategies over
the coming years”, says
Chairman, Roberto Selci
Biesse’s leadership in the development of new technologies has been confi rmed at the Ligna trade fair with the presentation of
avant-garde technological solutions.
“We are delighted to return to Ligna following
an important year like 2010. A year that saw
Biesse return encouraging levels of production
and results”, stated Roberto Selci, Chariman of
the Company. “However, now these positive
results must be maintained through a 360
degree attention to client needs and therefore
to the product portfolio.”
“This year we will launch on the market
machines designed to give clients the possibility
of working in the most effi cient way, through
a complete range of solutions that respond to
every single requirement. Biesse’s decision to
reinforce its own research and development
activities have had a particularly signifi cant
impact on this trend, which for the Wood
division in particular, will result in the
introduction of new products and technologies
on more than 40% of its range, within the next
12 months”, said Roberto.
At the end of 2011 Biesse Group also approved
an Industrial Plan for the three years 2011
– 2013, with the key focus being to reduce
industrial costs, the reinforcement of its sales
distribution network, technological innovation
through investment aimed at renewing
and expanding the product range and the
commitment to improving after sales service.
In addition to this the Group will also focus
on the development of management leadership
skills as a key factor in the sustainable long
term growth of the company’s value.

Stefani from Gabbett Machinery p.50
The combination of heat and glue and fast moving
machinery along with a great requirement for accuracy and
consistency means that edgebanding is a process which
requires a high level of expertise from the operator along
with a high level of sophistication in both the machinery
designed to do it and the materials used.
The following pages look at how technology in this area has
developed over the last decade and the techniques used in
modern edgbanding.

the question
Why is it that edgebanding is still one of the most frustrating operations in the factory today?
Edgebanding has been around for a
long time yet the same old issues are
still in question today. The development
of the edgebander has made huge
steps in productivity, preciseness, and
simplicity in setting up the units. But
most customers mainly look for so-called
benefi ts like the weight of the machine or
faster speed. What can be overlooked is
that a higher production can be reached
with a smart selection of suitable units,
like economical glue application, or
multifunctional units with motorization,
or finishing units to clean the panel
before it comes out of the machine. This
combined with an easy-to-use controller
leads to a highly profi table machine.
Edgebanding machines have a lot of
moving parts and a lot of infl uencing
variables like glue qualities and its
optimum working temperature, board
quality, cut edge quality, tape quality,
and importantly service support quality.
Therefore, the edgebander must be very
fl exible to adapt to all the requirements
of the machined material. When looking
to purchase an edgebander it is a good
idea to go that little bit further in learning
about how the machine can cater for the
many variations and look for a machine
to match the requirements rather than
looking only at the price and weight of
the machine.
What makes Holzher a good choice?
Holzher Direct NZ have the fl exibility
to build a machine not only for the New
Zealand market but also to suit your
individual requirements. This fl exibility
can focus the machine on your demands,
like higher quality with less clean up,
the ability to change the setup quickly
from one function to another, like one
edge fl at and one with radius in the same
pass, different machining options with
motorised adjustment for accuracy, plus
many other features. Holzher have the
highest level of technology available
throughout all their model levels to give
fl exibility and quality of fi nish on smaller
production machines as well as the high
production models.
Cartridge or granules melted on demand and
pushed by pressure through on to the board.
THE HOLZHER GLUE SYSTEM
One unit which brings most of the
banding quality on the Holzher is the
glue application system. This unit is a
unique system which can be controlled
to a higher level of performance. Glue
application can be controlled with a start/
stop function which eliminates excess
glue at the front and rear of the board
which can mean less clean up.
The glue granules or cartridge are only
melted as required which means they are
only heated up once and are not subject
to burning. Furthermore energy costs will
be saved through the melting-on-demand
system. With the hot glue being pushed
by pressure through a tube out on to the
board, many benefi ts are available. No
poisonous fumes, accurate control of
temperature, accurate control of glue
quantity, and very low maintenance with
very few moving parts.
Once the glue application is complete and
the edge has a quality bond then the level
to which you want to machine and fi nish
your edging needs to be decided. With
Holzher the heavy duty units with easy
adjustment provide a lot of fl exibility.
From the accurate motorised adjustment
of units to fine finishing tools which
give a higher quality result reducing the
expense of manual clean up. The choice
of machine for your level of production
with the choice of functions to give you
the most benefi ts is the fl exibility we
offer at Holzher Direct NZ.

of a new edgebanding machine.
The Victorian based company
sourced the Stefani Level HD

Michael Bressan
“A new edgebanding machine
is a significant investment and
it was important that whatever
we chose would provide value
for money and improve the
quality and effi ciency of the door
manufacturing process,” says
Michael.
Since installing the machine in
December 2008, Arrow Wood
hasn’t looked back. Ease of use, a
wide range of programs to choose
from, instant changeover between
edge types and a higher level of
automation and improved product
fl ow are just some of the benefi ts
that have been noted to date.
“One of the most noticeable
improvements is the decrease
in product handling required,”
says Michael. “Previously, after
the doors had been through the
machine we would have to use
scrapers and thinners to clean
glue residue off doors. Now, with
the Stefani’s built in glue scraping
and cleaning abilities, there is very
little handling required.”
“It was important that the
machinery be able to withstand
a high workload as it is used
continuously through each shift.
The Stefani has proven to be
up to the task and the ease of
changing between profi les means
that there is minimal downtime.
As a result of the more effi cient
manufacturing process, Arrow
Wood has seen a significant
increase in productivity and
quality, which is now effectively
supporting our service capabilities
to Western Australia, Tasmania,
Victoria and Queensland.”
Michael speaks highly of Gabbett’s
service both during and after the
installation phase. “Installing
new machinery can sometimes
see teething issues arise, but
Gabbett really showed their true
colours with the level of service
provided. Any technical problems
we have encountered have been
addressed straight away, which
was particularly useful in the
initial stages as our operators
adapted to the new process. On
the odd occasion that we have
needed technical support we have
often had a technician on site the
same day, sometimes even within
a few hours.”
Obviously being impressed with
the machine and Gabbett’s level
of service and support, Michael
says he would recommend them
to other companies. Edgebanding
can be a diffi cult process but with
the correct machine and advice
it can be an area where great
improvement in productivity can
be made.

Mark Paterson and Rod Lamport with their Casadei V320.
Casadei V320
fast set up little clean up
When asked what work they do, Joinery Visions Owner /Director Rod
Lamport starts by listing recent projects. “Shop fi tting, vanities, kitchens,
coffee tables, exterior joinery… Actually we’ll make anything except a
spiral staircase!” he says. “We’re versatile. Our focus is on top quality
custom joinery in sold timber and melamine products.”
About a year ago year Rod purchased a Casadei V320 edgebander from
Jacks, along with a Holytek extractor. “We were able to get a good job off
our old machine, but it just took too long. Set-up took awhile, and then
the edging required a lot of clean up after being applied” he explains.
“We’re at least twice as fast now – and with a good fi nish” Rod says.
“The Casadei is easy to use, quick to set-up and maintain, and works
well. I’d recommend it to any small to medium sized joinery.”
Capable of processing tape from 0.4mm to 2mm, Casadeis are in use in
many small joinery shops (and more than a few larger ones) around New
Zealand. Features include a fast start-up, a pre-heating plate to warm
the panel to avoid issues with cold and damp, and a two speed gearbox.
Copy rollers rather than static tracing shoes have helped the V320 build
a reputation for consistent, top quality results.
Common feeding issues with pre-glued machines – for example the tape
feed starting too late – are avoided with good technology. Angled feed
rollers hold the panel into the fence, and the tape feed roller is located
in the bed of the machine rather than in the fence – guaranteeing contact
with the panel, rather than relying on the panel being pushed hard into
the fence.
Christchurch-based, Joinery Visions has been operating for just under
three years, and already has a strong base of customers who refer work:
“We don’t advertise, but get our work through word-of-mouth” Rod
explains. Before starting Joinery Visions, Rod had 22 years experience
as a joiner, and working with him now is Mark Paterson, Canterbury
Joinery Apprentice of the Year in 2008 and 2009. Together their work
is predominantly in the middle-to upper end of the market, with a focus
on quality that is evident in the tidy workshop and impressive, handmade
workbenches they each use. The quality they’re getting from
their Casadei V320 is clearly an important part of the Joinery Visions
success story.

How do I avoid CNC tool breakage?
Did you know that over 80% of CNC tool breakages are caused
by incorrect or faulty colleting?
You see, a router tool spinning at 18,000rpm is
in trouble if it’s as little as 5 microns off centre.
That’s the thickness of a grain of talcum powder
and about how thick a deposit of resin or dust is
... when it’s squashed inside your collet.
Collets are manufactured to exact tolerances
and when they are 5 microns out of round both
the collet and the tool are strained because
the distorted collet cannot grip the tool shank
perfectly.
The result –
• Poor component edge fi nish.
• Less than optimum tool life.
• Metal fatigue and eventual breakage of
the tool
• Increased noise ...
The extra noise is a clue as to what is happening
to the machine. Tool run out causes high
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 54
frequency vibrations in the high speed motor
bearings. This drastically reduces their service
life; with repairs costing you thousands of
dollars and downtime.
Colleting and Collet life Span
Collets have a life span of 3 months if used 8
hours a day. Replacing the collets will ensure
that your operation runs consistently and
prevents tool breakage. When inserting a tool
into the collet, make sure the fl ute fade out does
not enter the collet. If the collet is gripping on
the fadeout, it will cause runout and potentially
tool breakage. To ensure proper clamping the
tool shank should fi ll, at a minimum 80% of
the depth of the collet.
Collet Maintenance
Cleaning is an essential part of collet
maintenance. As material is cut, extremely
fi ne dirt and resin migrates up the tool shaft
Use the ‘Ultra Precision’ tooling systems for –
1. Better Part Finish
2. Increased Tool Life
3. Quieter, Easier Cutting
With collet chucks, shrink chucks, mechanical
grip chucks + the ‘Ultra Precision’ collets with
50% more gripping power!
Just call 0800 488 647 to get the
optimum for your operation
into the collet, causing the collet, collet nut,
toolholder and spindle interface to become
dirty. This causes your tool to cut in an elliptical
fashion which will decrease tool life and cause
inconsistency in your operation.
Keeping collets and toolholders is as essential
as it is easy. Tungsten and Tool have their TMK
(Tooling Maintenance Kit) which includes
everything you need to perfectly clean and
lubricate cutters, collets and chucks – all in a
handy carry case.

edging with EXwood
In contrast to other paintable edgebanding materials (ABS, PVC)
this alternative has the advantage that the panel itself exhibits
identical dimensional changes as the EXwood – for example in
changing climatic conditions.
The front of the EXwood edge is fl ashed and can be painted over
with all commercially available wood finishes and paints. In
fact a pre sand is not recommended! The back side has a special
adhesive primer layer to ensure it bonds with EVA, PU, or polyofi ne
adhesives.
EXwood is a composed material based on wood fibres and
polypropylene and is available in 2mm thickness up to 65mm
wide.

The story of furniture manufacturer Furnware Ltd is a good one. Their success has been despite the prevailing economic conditions
of the last few years and at a time when local furniture manufacturers have faced increased competition from cheap imports. A key
factor in this success has been the proactive approach taken by Furnware management, using design and marketing as their weapons
of choice. JOINERS Magazine spoke with Marketing Manager Jeremy Ross to fi nd out why their strategy has been so successful.
Sales and marketing are important for any
company selling a product or service. What
underlies Furnware’s approach?
“The key has been using design to create a
unique range of products which better suit
the needs of our clientele and differentiates us
from our competitors. We spend a lot of time
understanding the needs of our customers and
tailoring the resultant relationship according to
their specifi c requirements. Marketing for us
is a careful integration of product packaging
and service, selling systems and support
into a package that meets the needs of those
customers.” explains Mr Ross.
Some 90% of your business is in the education
sector which is a demanding, niche market.
How have you been able to keep your product
range fresh and unique?
“Design and marketing are obviously to the
fore,” comments Mr Ross “but you also have
to have the capability in the factory that allows
the sales and marketing team that fl exibility to
be different. It may sound obvious but one of
the important things in making furniture for the
school market is that there are no sharp edges to
the furniture. This is a health and safety issue.
Curved edges have become essential.
All our contour banding was performed
by hand which created real challenges with
quality, repeatability and productivity. As a
result the number of contoured components
we made were kept to a minimum. This was
what attracted us to the Vector Revolution
180 contour edgebander from Vector Systems
when it came out in 2007. We trialled it, saw
the potential and it has now become a central
component in our manufacturing process.
For curved edges we are now able to perform
all the processes at once: band glueing and
application, trimming and surface scraping. We
have been able to redevelop our product range
to include a much higher percentage of curved
components. With the quality and speed of the
machine it has been possible for our design
team to tap into a far larger design gallery in
the last few years. In fact the quality of all the
machinery we have employed has been a big
reason for our success.”
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 56
Health and safety has become an increasingly
significant aspect of industry in general.
The education sector more so than most one
would suspect. How has Furnware addressed
this issue?
“Health and safety standards are important. We
are constantly talking to our clientele about this
issue. Becoming part of the Environmental
Choice Programme is a response to this. For
our factory employees it was about ensuring
a safe and pleasant working environment, for
our clientele it meant they had the reassurance
that the product they bought met recognized
health and safety standards. We made a number
of changes to our production process to meet
these standards. For example, the glues we use.
Another important development has been the
introduction of our Body Furn range of school
furniture which is based on sound ergonomic
design making it comfortable for students and
allowing them to concentrate better.”
Furnware has been referred to as a company
model others should follow. Why do you think
that is so?
“Among other things already mentioned,
I think it comes down to a willingness to
continually develop and improve our processes
to the betterment of both the company and it’s
staff as well as its customers.
Our close association with Vector Systems
is a good example. By working closely with
Vector we have continued to get optimum
performance from the Vector machine both in
terms of withstanding the demanding workload
(eighteen hour days are not uncommon) and
the desire to improve productivity. This results
in a better product delivered quicker. The
development of the surface scraper by Vector
was in no small part due to our collaboration
with them. It now features on most Vector
machines sold today.
Our successful sales growth including the
opening of our Australian operation in
Melbourne in July 2009 and exports to China
has meant the need for a second Vector contour
bander due to be installed in June this year.”

Furnware Ltd was established in
1935 in Hastings and was a caravan
manufacturer up until 1979 when
they started to make polypropylene
furniture for secondary schools and
upholstered furniture for meeting
rooms, bars and restaurants. The
advent of the government initiated
Tomorrows’ Schools programme in
the early 90’s saw the company dealing
with schools direct as the Education
Department was no longer directly
involved. The company was eventually
bought by Hamish Whyte and his
family in 1993. Furnware continues
to focus on the education sector selling
locally and now internationally. Today
with around eighty employees the
company has recently established an
Auckland sales and marketing centre to
complement its Hastings head offi ce.

Kiwi ingenuity finds international success
Duncan Such, well known in the woodworking machinery industry, and incidentally also our very own Dr Buzz, established Vector
Systems Ltd eight years ago to convert a problem solving idea into a practical reality. JOINERS Magazine caught up with Duncan
to fi nd out more about the progress of this company.
The problem was how to press the working
head of an edgebander against a shaped panel
while travelling around it’s contour. A simple
idea Duncan admits but no satisfactory solution
had been forthcoming to deal with the problem
of edgebanding contoured components cost
effectively. There existed a huge gap between
using manual machines costing up to $60,000
and automatic CNC hybrid contour banders
costing over $500,000.
How did you get started?
The first step was to patent the invention
followed by making the fi rst sale. Kevin Shuker
of Ultra Offi ce stepped into the picture and there
is no question that the willingness of visionaries
like Kevin in ordering the fi rst machine along
with the exceptional skills of Mike Powick of
Powick Engineering in Taranaki who worked
with Vector to develop the Revolution 180
were instrumental in getting this project off
the ground.” Duncan comments.
How did you realize the machines potential?
Once we had developed the machine to a
certain level it became possible to not only
THE FUTURE OF CONTOUR EDGEBANDING
BORN IN NEW ZEALAND
TAKING ON THE WORLD
sell to the New Zealand market but to also
explore overseas markets. We now have
dealers in Australia, UK, USA, Japan, Italy,
Greece, Spain and Portugal. The product is
only part of the equation, distribution is the
other important element. The uniqueness of
the machine has enabled us to link with some
of the strongest machinery dealers around the
world which would not have been possible if
we were making straight line banders of which
there are literally hundreds of manufacturers
worldwide.
Why has this technology been successful?
Two things. Firstly, simplicity, that’s the Vector
philosophy. A lot of effort is made to fi nd
elegant solutions which reduce complexity,
improve reliability, create ease of use and
performance. We have found our dealers love
the simplicity of the Vector concept even in
sophisticated markets such as the USA and
Europe. Secondly, simultaneous processing.
This is where all processes are performed at
the same time (band glueing and application,
trimming and surface scraping). This is unique
in a contour bander. To this we have now added
Sidewinder trimmer unit on the VECTOR.
our new Auto Endtrim vacuum pods which
is really an outside the box solution. These
vacuum pods have built in end trim units for
fi nishing square cornered panels automatically
while the head is traversing to position.
What’s next for Vector Systems?
The progress we have made to date particularly
in the acceptance of the Vector Revolution
wherever we have taken it, offers the opportunity
for it to become the predominant method for
contour banding around the world.

ascent - faster with a higher finish
Surrounded by fields and birdsong, and
looking out on bush covered hills, it doesn’t
feel as if Maymorn Joiners Limited is just a few
kilometres from Upper Hutt. Owner Anthony
Neustroski began his career as an apprentice at
Odlins before setting up at Maymorn in 1991
– enjoying the area so much he has recently
moved in next door.
Maymorn has four full time staff, offering
solid wood and panel-based joinery across the
Wellington region, including general joinery,
kitchens, and work for schools – receptions
and classrooms in particular. “There’s probably
not a school in the region we haven’t been in”
says Anthony.
A little over a year ago Anthony decided
the well-used Casadei edgebander they had
purchased 2nd hand many years earlier needed
replacement, and he asked Wellington-based
Jacks rep Bernie Kilkelly to keep an eye out
for a suitable second-hand hot-melt machine.
After years of pre-glue tape and fi nishing by
hand, Anthony was ready to move up, but
thought buying a new machine was outside
of his budget.
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 58
“I saw plenty of machines at AWISA when
I went in 2008, but with a starting price of
near 50k a new one wasn’t an option for us”
Anthony says. Knowing that Jacks had a new,
entry-level edgebander in development, Bernie
convinced Anthony to wait a few months
– advice Anthony is now pleased he took.
“When I heard that I could buy a brand new
hot-melt machine for under 30k, with warranty,
support etc, why would I buy secondhand?”
he says. “And knowing Jacks technician Ross
McCulloch - who has been looking after us
for years - was been heavily involved in the
development of the machine, I was happy to
wait.”
The AscentPro MF508L was designed
specifi cally by Jacks to provide an affordable
entry-level hot-melt machine – a perfect nextstep
from a Casadei. The benefi ts of hot-melt
machines – scrapers, a cleaner glue line, more
fl exible tape options, and speed – are well
known, but price has usually been a barrier.
Despite its low price the MF508L has some
features you wouldn’t expect on a machine in
this price bracket. Tracing rollers instead of
shoes throughout the machine give an excellent
fi nish. And two heating units – one in the glue
tank and one in the application head – mean
the temperature of the glue can be very fi nely
controlled right where it’s applied.
Installation was quick and simple. “Ross
trained us on the machine” Anthony explains.
“It’s plug and play really – you just turn it on.
We’re all confi dent with the machine now.”
The guys at Maymorn have quickly embraced
their upgrade in technology – literally! “One
of the guys in the workshop was so pleased
to have the new machine he kissed it!” says
Anthony.
“Having the pieces come off fi nished makes a
huge difference. Not to have to do any further
processing is saving us so much time. Our
Casadei worked hard for years and years but
with this machine we’re working so much
faster. We’ve also got more flexibility of
processing – 3mm solid clashings for example.
And we’ve got the capacity to do a lot more
processing for others too. This machine will
make us money”.

latest release ... the Mini-Spraybench
Egmont Air, specialists in dust & fume extraction have release a new Mini Spray-Bench unit for manufacturing and maintenance
workshops. This innovative concept is the perfect solution for in-line spray-stations, linear production lines, or alternatively as a
touch-up or trial-spray extraction booth for off-line or maintenance applications.
“The spraybooth regulations are considered
onerous by many, who need a spray-painting
facility for painting and/or gluing of small
parts and components” comments Mr Cameron
Prestidge from Egmont Air, “the Mini-
Spraybench provides a fully-compliant solution
for that application”
This extractor has been designed to provide
three primary functions;
1. Safe capture of overspray from painting or
gluing processes.
2. Protection of the operators breathing zone
from harmful gases.
3. Compliance with spray-booth legislation
and facilitating safe operating procedures.
Clean air is drawn past the operator at 0.5m/s
being the optimum airfl ow ratio to achieve
extraction of excess overspray and harmful
gases without disturbing the spray pattern
required for a perfect paint fi nish. Parts are
placed on the turntable which can be rotated
so all sides of the objects are painted evenly.
Concertina filter-paper captures the sticky
paint or glue overspray and the clean air then
passes through the fl ame-proof rated fan and
discharges out the top of the unit. The discharge
outlet has a simple square fl ange for ducting
connection; ducting (supplied separately)
and clean-air must discharge vertically to
atmosphere.
The unit comes complete with fl ame-proof
rated fan, single-stage filtration, turntable
and can be quickly assembled on-site by 2
persons in 1 hour. Discharge-ducting, two-stage
fi ltration, spray-guns and control-boards are
available separately.
The Mini Spraybench
• Designed for painting and gluing
applications
• Dry media filtration, optional 2-stage
fi ltration available
• Centrifugal fan, maintains optimum airfl ow
under load
• Stand-alone unit, no building fixture
required
• Quick on-site assembly and installation
• Exe fl ame-proof certifi ed
• Turntable for placement of objects to be
sprayed
Egmont Air has a huge range of ready-to-go
spray-booth systems, especially designed
for engineers, machinery dealers and woodworkers
requiring a simple but effective spraybooth
solution.
Egmont Air’s range includes a range of both
dry-media and wet-booth options so the best
unit can be offered for any application where a
generous quantity of overspray is created.
Dry-booths provide an economical solution
for most engineering & machinery painting
applications with a lower initial investment,
inexpensive to operate, ease of fi lter disposal,
and quiet, trouble-free operation.
Wet-booths offer a superior fi ltration method for
high-volume paint users, gluing applications and
increased fi re protection safety. Contaminated
air passes through 3 separate water-veils to
remove all paint particulates. The water is then
drained off through a paint separator where
solids are collected for safe disposal.
Full professional advice is available from
Egmont Air’s technical dept along with a free
on-site consultation to evaluate your particular
application and recommendations with a
guaranteed solution.
Egmont Air also stock smaller bench models
for spraying of parts and small components, all
spray booths come complete with exe fl ameproof
rated motors and certifi cation.

mityboy at the beach
A few blocks away from the famous Coromandel beach is Mastercraft Kitchens Whangamata
Run by Clive and Sue Roberts the
company, which is also known
as Whangamata Woodworks,
was established 18 years ago
when Clive and a fellow builder
branched into joinery, unsure
if the town was large enough
to support a joinery business.
Three kitchens later they gave up
building altogether to concentrate
on joinery. The decision to stop
building was a deliberate one,
and the company enjoys a lot
of support – and subsequent
referrals – from local builders.
And Whangamata Woodworks has
been a major player in the region’s
development – particularly of
up-market holiday homes – ever
since.
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 60
As well as being the Mastercraft
Kitchens franchise in the area,
Whangamata Woodworks also
provide a wide range of solid
timber and joinery services,
including pre-hung doors and a
paint booth. Add to the mix their
new Mityboy and you have a local
business that offers a wide range
of effi cient and quality solutions
to Whangamata and wider
Coromandel joinery market.
CNC technology was something
Clive had been attracted to –
and evaluating – for 10 years.
“I visited AWISA and could
immediately see the benefits.
But CNC scared the shit out
of me because I’m computer
illiterate!” he says. But Clive’s
personal lack of confi dence with
the computer side of CNC didn’t
stop him introducing computer
aided design, in preparation for
the eventual transition from panel
saw to CNC kitchen manufacture.
Changes in the business, including
a substantial building extension
as well as buying out his business
partner meant the CNC project was
put on hold waiting for fi nances,
but this gave Clive plenty of time
to fully investigate CNC market
and choose the most appropriate
machine.
After much deliberation
Clive eventually settled on a
Mityboy from Jacks, complete
with PRO100 kitchen design
software. Part of the reason to
go with the Australian-made
machine was Jacks’ reputation for
service and support. “We knew
there’d be a steep learning curve
moving to CNC manufacture, so
it is important to know we have
support available when we need
it” says Clive.
He was also impressed by the
PRO100 software package.
“We’ve had two of the bigger
kitchen design packages here,
but I felt they were expensive
for what we got – particularly
technical help and the ongoing
update packages.” Having worked
with some of the biggest software

packages in the industry, inhouse
Design Consultant Lorraine
Fuller is very happy working in
PRO100. Following a customer
visit, Lorraine prepares a 3D
design in PRO100, and then does
all of the pricing. When confi rmed,
she passes the fi le to James who
takes the fi le through the steps
to prepare for machining, before
transferring it to the Mityboy via
USB stick.
Even knowing about the quality
of machine and service they were
buying, Factory Manager James
Drew didn’t believe it when
Buddy from Jacks told him they’d
start running jobs the week of
installation. “But it was true. The
Mityboy went in at a particularly
busy time for us late last year, but
the day after installation we cut
out two really complicated jobs.
What really stood out for me was
the fact that during installation I
was using the saw right beside the
Mityboy during commissioning.
And while I worked away on the
saw, the guys were loading sheet
after sheet onto the CNC, getting
perfectly cut pieces with the holes
drilled!”
Since installation, Clive and
James are glowing about their
Mityboy. “I couldn’t go back to
cutting kitchens the old way” says
James. “It used to drive me crazy
watching a guy spend all morning
cutting out a curved pantry” says
Clive. “That basically forced me
to buy CNC – just seeing that time
wasted”. James estimates whereas
they used to cut a couple of sheets
an hour before edging, then getting
all the jigs out for drilling holes,
the Mityboy processes six sheets
an hour, including holes.
Clive has also very sensibly
allowed for the fact that moving
to CNC takes time, support, and
patience. So it’s no surprise that
James has recently been on an
Advanced Users training course
with Anthony Scammell from
PRO100. “I came back with a
fried brain” he says. “There’s so
much more I’m learning to do.
For example while PRO100 has
the complete library of kitchen
components to use, sometimes we
want to vary the distance between
the drawer rail and drawer bottom,
but still have the construction
holes drilled. So I’ve learned
how to modify the appropriate
settings from a standard cabinet,
and over time I’m adding new
cabinets specially adapted to the
kind of work we do. Once I’ve
done it, next time it’s just a matter
of selecting the required cabinet,
and changing the dimensions. The
software does the rest”.
The Whangamata team have been
quick learners, and have adapted
to CNC manufacture very well
- something their Jacks rep Tony
Christiansen has noticed. “We’d
usually expect to be talking to a
new CNC customer reasonably
regularly in the fi rst few weeks
after installation, while they learn
what they’re doing” says Tony.
“But these guys never called!
They were so quiet I had our
service engineer call just to make
sure they were ok – which they
certainly were!”
James and Clive have also been
investigating other possibilities
with CNC – such as stairtreads.
“To be successful we need to have
a strong point-of-difference” says
Clive. “And you don’t get there
without moving outside of your
comfort zone. Which we did to
invest in CNC during a recession,
but I know it was the right
decision. Effi ciency is important,
and the Mityboy is undeniably
effi cient. But we now have the
capacity to expand as the market
picks up, and we’re working on
diversifying what the business
can offer customers” Clive says.
“We’ve barely scratched the
surface in terms of what we want
to do with the Mityboy”.

VacuMaster “Comfort 180” – lifting capacity up to 250 kg!
Safe handling of
airtight or porous panels
FDS Vacuum in Auckland round off their vacuum lifting product
range at the top end with the VacuMaster “Comfort 180” series,
specialist vacuum lifting devices for rotating sheet steel, wooden
sheet and panel products. The new VacuMaster “Comfort 180”
lifting devices permits a single person to move, rotate, and handle
fl at loads weighing up to 250 kg easily, safely and precisely. Four
different versions of this device are available: the VacuMaster
“COMFORT” horizontal can handle panels up to a maximum weight
of 750 kg; the VacuMaster Standard, a load weight of up to 2000 kg;
the VacuMaster “Comfort 90” can lift panels with a weight of up to
750 kg to a 90° position; and all of the VacuMaster range up to 750kg
can lift panels using the alternative, “basic” control system.
The Schmalz VacuMaster “Comfort 180” illustrated can handle
panels up to 2400 x 1800 with a maximum weight of 250 kg but
has to have a reasonable thickness to provide rigidity.
While the fi rst four versions each have two or four suction pads,
the remainder can have up to eight pads depending on the load.
These suction pads can also be positioned individually to match the
panels to be lifted. The lifting devices have a very robust mechanical
construction and are thus suitable for use in the rough conditions
in workshops and factories. The versions for combined horizontal/
vertical/90º/180° handling of panels have a swivelling system driven
by an electric motor that cannot be actuated inadvertently. The
VacuMaster “Comfort 180” devices are delivered fully assembled
and ready for use with the electric hoist pre-wired to suit the “raise/
lower” two speed controls. The vacuum pump used for generation
of the vacuum have a very high suction capacity, permitting even
porous materials (38 mm thick chipboards are regarded as porous in
vacuum technology) to be handled safely and without damage.
Monitoring and warning devices ensure safe operation in all
conceivable situations. The vacuum lifting devices of the
VacuMaster “Comfort 180” series are suitable for the handling
of steel sheet, raw and laminated chipboard, of MDF, OSB, staff
and plasterboard panels, and of plastic panels in stockrooms and
production.

The recent completion of the Novotel Hotel at Auckland
International Airport marked the completion of a six month
project for Auckland specialist timber fabricator Woodform Design.
The contract to the main contractor Hawkins Construction required
the manufacture, supply and installation of over 450 acoustic wall
panels made out of Southland Maple Beech (NZ grown and FSC
certifi ed FM - COC 001148) supplied by Tuatapere based Lindsay
& Dixon Ltd. The foyers, reception areas, conference rooms and
lift shaft facings, around 550m2 in total, were covered by the panel
in a building which is distinctly New Zealand.
Each panel was constructed of strips of Southland Maple Beech
of varying width and depth to provide a visually appealing and
acoustically effi cient panel that not only provides relief from an
A380 super-jumbo taking off next door but also counterbalances
the prevalent use of hard surfaces such as glass, stone, marble and
metal which feature in the hotel design.
Woodform Managing Director Dave Pratt said the job was both
challenging and exciting. “The precision involved at all stages of
the job was critical to its success. The bulk of the panels were made
on four different jigs with different layouts, each strip of beech
was separated by a 5mm gap with a 2 1/2 mm gap between panels.
Each piece of Southland Maple Beech had to be sanded, sealed and
polished on all six sides to ensure stability of the timber in its air
conditioned environment.”
Installation was equally challenging. Placement followed a precise
plan which ensured identical panels never faced each other. “With
so many parallel lines we were working off a very small tolerance
of less than 1mm, this caused some diffi culties in dealing with the
vagrancies of construction, where tolerances can be larger, and
required the construction of special panels adjusted to fi t corners
and meeting points with other construction materials.
Dave Pratt said the job displayed the versatility of timber and of
his fi rms ability to work with it. It also displayed the need to work
in with partners on a project such as this. “Hawkins Construction
were great in accommodating our requirements on what was a very
busy site. The achievements by our installers Rean Construction Ltd
needs acknowledgement, Tony and Leon complimented the visual
expression the architects were looking for. Thanks to all.”

new designs for maximum wood yield
The name Weinig stands for comprehensive expertise in solid wood processing. In Hanover the full-range supplier exhibited innovative
technology divided into four product areas Pre-cutting, Profi ling, End profi ling and Windows. Innovations ranged from separating,
cutting, scanning, optimisation, fi nger-jointing and gluing through planing and profi ling to window production and automation.
Planing and profi ling
Especially innovative, applicationoriented
solutions were at the
forefront at Ligna 2011. A
Powermat 2000 PP for producing
MDF panels in working widths
up to 600 mm was just one of the
exhibits. This machine is able to
control several processes over
large areas in a single run. In
addition a Powermat 500 for the
production of window edges and
a Hydromat 450 for working large
widths for sizes 450 x 300 mm
was also on display. The heavy
Hydromat 3500 for high-speed
planing represents the upper
performance range.
Cube: reinventing planing
The Cube continues the long
series of Weinig innovations in
planing systems. The compact,
user-friendly machine is designed
primarily for businesses which
use traditional methods to plane
on four sides. Time-consuming
adjustments are a thing of the
past with the Cube, the high risk
of errors has been eliminated. The
intelligent “moulder preview”
laser process guarantees maximum
wood yield. Four-sided processing
in a single run ensures perfect
right angles, true dimensions and
parallel lines. The fast, highly
practical Cube will pay for itself
in a very short space of time. In
suction mode energy savings of up
to 60 % can be achieved.
New Weinig systems for trades
In addition to the Cube, at
Hanover Weinig exhibited a range
of other attractive machines for

craftsmen working in wood. The
new FlexiRip Compact from the
RaimannLine stands out, currently
the most flexible cross-cutting
saw for artisan businesses in the
market and the new UniRip for
ultimate accurate, fast cutting
with the QuickFix saw shaft and
the Safety Plus-System for maximum
operator safety. Weinig
exhibited the new VarioRip 310,
the successor to the proven multiblade
and optimised circular saw
Profi Rip 310. The double-sided
prism guide system ensures chain
guides without play, resulting in
excellent cutting results.
Wood optimisation
Maximum wood yield is the
decisive factor in determining
the profitability of a business.
Weinig has long been setting new
standards in this field with its
innovative optimisation solutions
in the DimterLine. The latest
version of the fastest cross-cut
saw in the world, the OptiCut 450
Quantum II, offers another 15%
more performance. It was viewed
as a complete system at Hanover
capable of cutting and optimising
up to 100 running metres wood/
min. From destacking the raw
material to restacking the cut
lengths, the whole process is fully
automatic.
Weinig demonstrated its expertise
in detection of errors and quality
sorting with the CombiScan +
200 R for double-sided scanning
via laser and colour camera and
the EScan for certified rigidity
measurements. The new gluing
press ProfiPress PPL II 2500
generated great interest in the
“Optimisation” sector. This
universal press reduces grinding to
a minimum. Multi-track operation
is still possible with a difference in
width of 150 mm. This means the
unit can achieve especially high
performance.
Finger-jointing systems
Finger-jointing allows you to
make longer lengths from short
parts with high stability and
consistently high quality. Wood
improvement through fingerjointing
is therefore becoming
more and more interesting and
has excellent prospects due to
a shortage of resources. The
Weinig GreconLine offers a wide
range of finger-jointing units
for all performance classes. The
CombiPact was shown at Hanover.
Its outstanding feature is the newly
developed drive technology which
raises this unit to the performance
level of series which previously
were superior. The CombiPact is
designed fl exibly for horizontal
and vertical operation. Pre-scorers
ensure especially high quality of
fi nished goods.
Weinig window production
The successful Conturex
profi ling centre is known for its
fully automatic, cost-effective
production of single parts.
Workpieces are clamped in position
for complete processing. Designed
as an open, modular system, the
Conturex guarantees customers
the greatest possible security
for the future. At Ligna Weinig
demonstrated its high fl exibility
using a 124 model with the new 5
axis technology. Demonstrations
at the stand included window,
door and conservatory elements
to illustrate the almost limitless
possibilities of the profiling
centre.
New window centre
A new system for surface
machining for windows, doors
and conservatories celebrate its
world launch at Ligna. Weinig is
expanding its product programme
in this segment. The new clamping
system is registered for patenting
and offers fast, highly flexible
operation. The automatic console
positioning system minimises
setup times.

The Beta is a fully programmable 3 axis horizontal CNC swing chisel mortiser
suitable for general joinery and furniture production. The machine can be equipped
with a separate dedicated programmable hollow chisel head for producing the
small mortise holes for glazing bars. Alternatively a horizontal milling head can
be specifi ed that can be used for hinge recessing, slotting for louvre doors etc. The
Beta can work off either the face of the timber or the thickness, and can produce
mirror image components (left/right hand) in one program.
Programming of both machines is extremely simple thanks to the colour graphic
touch screen controller using pre-installed electronic macros.
Jacks and Centauro will be holding demonstrations of both these machines
during July – with limited space available. For further details or bookings contact
centauro@jacks.co.nz or call 0800 332 288.

Longevity through quality
experience and the right equipment brings success
Having been around a long time and
having established a solid track record
for quality work and on time delivery has
been the mainstay for Commercial Joinery
(Wgtn) Ltd. Established back in 1988, the
business is located in the Wellington suburb
of Kilbirnie operating from an 8000 square
foot site they moved to in 2008. The company
has developed its reputation specializing in
the design and manufacture of customised
kitchen componentry as well as a wide range
of timber joinery including doors, windows,
staircases and handrails in the Wellington area
and environs.
Manager Barry Telford comments “Producing
custom made product is quite demanding. No
two jobs are the same. We have found that using
conventional machinery and hand making
such things as cabinetry and other components
using experienced staff has worked very well
for us.”
The company recently purchased an SCM
SI400EP Class dimension saw from Gabbett
Machinery which forms a big part of their
operation. “This saw had a number of features
we were interested in to make panel processing
easier and more effi cient considering it is used
on average at least three to four hours daily.”
says Mr Telford.
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 66
“In particular, the machine has the Parallelogram
swiveling crosscut fence for angular cutting
complete with angular digital display and three
digital stops on the crosscut fence which gives
us the stability we need when machining large
dimensional panels. It can be easily moved
from one position to another due to the rapid
locking/unlocking of the fi xing devices.”
The cutting accuracy of the saw is down to
0.005mm along the entire 3.8 metre carriage
meaning the load capacity is a lot higher
than other machines. Mr Telford points out
“This accuracy combined with its rigidity and
complete lack of vibration and the powered
rise, fall and blade tilting and the fastest
ripfence available on the market make for an
easily used machine. The easily understood
electronic controller is very handy as well
given that in our operation the machine is used
by several staff.”
The dimension saw fi ts well as there are several
other SCM factory machines in the business.
“We make a lot of different product and view
ourselves as a one stop shop for all our clients’
needs.” says Mr Telford. Indeed, the company
has had some quite high profi le work in recent
years including a three year contract to produce
all the joinery requirements for fi lmmaker Peter
Jackson’s spectacular park road post production
facility in Miramar, Wellington.
Commercial Joinery (Wgtn) Ltd deal with a
wide variety of suppliers. Benchtops made
from granite, Corian and engineered stone as
well as Formica Laminate are the norm while
architectural hardware usually comes from the
big three: Blum, Hafele and Hettich.
“Most of our work is in the residential scene
here in Wellington. It tends to be high end and
that requires high end product.” Mr Telford
comments. Like most cabinetry and joinery
businesses the fi rm has seen through some
tough times in the last few years. “We are
still here offering the same high standard of
workmanship we have a name for. Having the
right gear and staff has been a big part of this
which gives us confi dence for the future.”

Joinerysoft adapts to the New Zealand market
Launched seven years ago, Joinerysoft’s Joinery Management Software (JMS) has shaken up the joinery industry and is spreading
throughout the English speaking world. Providing software for joinery manufacturers of custom and heritage windows, double hung,
doors (internal & external), stairs and gates, Joinerysoft has grown from a UK only company to one serving joinery manufacturers
in South Africa, Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand.
JMS provides joiners with the tools
they need to not only design and
make beautiful products but also
manage their business effectively,
including cost analysis, pricing,
supplier orders, manufacturing
sheets, automatic machine output,
delivery notes and invoicing.
Steve Bencich, of Ceder Windows,
based in Victoria, Australia
purchased JMS in August last year.
He comments, “Since purchasing
the program I can only say how
it has improved all sections of
my company: Presentation;
Accuracy; Inform able for both
clients and factory staff; as well
as increased my confi dence that
prices are correct.
With many joinery manufacturers
in New Zealand still having a
diffi cult time due to a depressed
market, being customer focused
and offering a fast professional
presentation can make the
difference between winning an
order or missing out.
Visiting New Zealand last year,
Managing Director, Alan Turner is
returning this year for the Master
Joiners Conference in June to
demonstrate how JMS has been
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 68
adapted to better suit the needs of
New Zealand joiners as a direct
result of last year’s feedback.
Committed to helping New
Zealand joinery manufacturers
Alan plans to visit personally
each year and offers local backup
through Bruce Syder based in
Palmerston North as well as
a dedicated technical support
team.
Keith Trask of Serene Joinery
in Auckland purchased JMS 12
months ago. He says, “Purchasing
JMS we have formed a partnership
with Joinerysoft. They have
proved efficient and answered
our queries in a timely manner. I
would recommend Joinerysoft to
anyone. The biggest benefi t to us is
the customer focused presentation
of quotations, accurate instant
pricing, quick and accurate cutting
lists and integrated invoicing.
Holding all the information about
the job in one source reduces
duplication of information and
ensures a consistent customer
focus.”
Joinerysoft is in the process of
making JMS even easier to set up
and use by including NZ standard
section sizes in their templates
and pre-inputting fittings and
gear from leading NZ suppliers to
reduce confi guration during startup.
While designed to be fl exible
for custom and heritage joinery,
utilising templates as a starting
block for design saves time where
manufacturers have a stock size
or common styles. During his
trip in June Alan will be visiting
hardware and timber suppliers to
ensure that JMS not only includes
images and pricing for all major
suppliers but also prints purchase
orders to further save joinery
manufacturers time.
Alan Turner, comments: “The
feedback received last year from
joinery manufacturers in New
Zealand was valued and has been
implemented to provide a better
product even more suited to the
market. It was very interesting
to see the difference in the way
joinery is constructed. One of the
main areas is how New Zealand
construct the cill of a window,
due to the limited sizes of timber
available. The New Zealand cill is
now available within JMS, so when
we say we listen to customers we
really do, and the enhancements
regularly introduced demonstrate
this.”
Since last year’s visit several
features have been introduced
specifi cally for the New Zealand
market. These include: bifold
doors, New Zealand cill
construction, and flyscreens.
Also very soon Joinerysoft will be
including cross sections, with 3D
images and profi les also coming
soon to all customers as a free
upgrade with maintenance and
support.
JMS is designed for all sizes
of joinery manufacturer as
JMS can be purchased in two
formats to make it more specifi c
to the needs of large and small
joiners. Joinerysoft offers JMS-
Professional version of the same
software which includes advanced
features such as time and machine
scheduling, management statistics
such as order success rate and

profitability, and the ability to
link to accounting programs.
The alternative version JMS
provides all the essential features
necessary for small joiners to
design, manufacture and manage
their businesses without the big
company features or price tag.
Speaking at the Master Joiners
Conference in Rotorua Alan
welcomes the opportunity to fi nd
out more about the regulation
changes of NZS: 4211 affecting
the New Zealand industry. Having
just gone through a period of
change in the UK joinery market
with the introduction of energy
ratings and the requirement to
provide U-values, Joinerysoft is
ideally placed to provide similar
information for New Zealand
joinery manufacturers.
“We have already introduced a Uvalue
calculator into JMS and now
produce certificates for joinery
manufacturers to present to their
end customers demonstrating
compliance with regulations.”
With the development work
already completed to provide
this feature inputting the NZ
regulations into JMS will provide
a NZ specifi c U-value calculator
quickly and easily. Looking to
learn more about NZS 4211 and
the new section sizes that are
being introduced into the NZ
industry, Alan plans to include
these section sizes preset within
JMS to ease their introduction for
joinery manufacturers.
The title of Alan’s talk at the
Master Joiners Conference is
‘Software the New Joinery
Machine’. Joinery software
should be treated like a traditional
woodworking machine, but it’s
a machine in a different room,
the office. Software can help
increase your professionalism,
improve effi ciency and increase
profits. Software can also help
the joiner comply with the latest
legislation. See why over 550
joinery companies use this
software.
If you would like to speak to Alan
further about how JMS can help
your business, he will be arriving
in Auckland on 19th June and
leaving Christchurch on 30th June
to fl y to Melbourne, then Sydney
and fi nally Brisbane before fl ying
back to the UK. You can contact

HOLZMA
solutions from S to XXXL
Holzma is taking another big step
forward with the new 4 series.
This innovative generation of
saws was presented for the fi rst
time at LIGNA 2011. The new
models integrate perfectly with
all the other series in the closely
interlinked product portfolio,
providing customers with more
possibilities than ever before.
The new 4 series
Many of the innovations that have
already proved themselves in the 3
series can now be found in the new
4 series. These include the energysaving
ecoLine technologies
which are now being marketed
under the name of “ecoPlus”.
Other new features include a
window in the pressure beam,
which allows a clear view of
the rear machine table, twofi
ngered clamps throughout and
a table height of 920 mm. As
in the 3 series, a completely
redesigned saw carriage combines
improved performance with high
energy effi ciency. It also allows
the installation of new optional
extras such as the new “ascending
vertical saw” option. Other new
features markedly improve
operator comfort and enhance
performance.
ecoLine is now ecoPlus
Back at the 2009 LIGNA Fair,
the ecoLine technologies from
HOLZMA were a cause of great
interest. In the 3 series, they
achieved an energy saving of
up to 20% compared with the
previous models. EFF1 motors,
the green stand by button, an
improved extraction system and
much more impressed customers
from all over the world. Then, in
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 70
HPP 380 profiLine
2010, HOLZMA demonstrated
that ecoLine was a strategy that
they were committed to pursuing
when they implemented a further
energy saving of up to 20%.
This was achieved by further
improving the extraction system,
by optimising the pneumatic
system and replacing pneumatic
components with electronic
components and by developing
new design approaches.
Innovation Center
HOLZMA showcased a further
technological highlight with the
new “scoring saw bearing”. It
uses what is called an absolute
measuring system. With its
help, the position of the saw
blade is saved, allowing precise
repositioning after a saw blade
has been changed. This allows,
among other things, the “vertical
scoring” of books. The edge of the
entire book is scored to a depth
of up to 15 mm, making this a
perfect optional extra for cutting
parts with veneer, paper or ABS
edges.

XP stands for extreme performance
Robertson and Sinclair Ltd represent two
of the worlds leading tool makers, Leuco
Germany and Vortex USA. Their differing
product ranges compliment each other enabling
them to provide customers with an extensive
range of tooling to suit the wide range of
materials used in NZ.
The Robertson and Sinclair sales team all
have long service in the industry, and they
have the knowledge to recommend the most
appropriate tooling to suit the type of material
and machinery you are using the tool in. The
benefi ts when using the correct setup are, no
chipping on either side of the material, and no
sanding is required. The panel can go straight
onto the edge bander. The life span also
increases considerably, reducing down time
and increasing profi t margins.
The latest tooling developed by Vortex is the
3100XP series of compression spiral cutters,
which have been completely re-designed to
suit hard to cut materials, such as the new high
pressure laminates now being used. This new
range has been tested in our market by high
volume users, who monitor the metres cut by
each tool.
3100XP SERIES
Graeme Britten trialled various cutters before fi nding the Vortex XP by far superior for their work.
One of these has been local motorhome
manufacturer Kea. The company needed
a stylish lightweight panel for the fi tout of
the interior of their vehicles and settled on
European Poplar 16mm ply panels. They were
light and good looking, but as a softwood were
diffi cult to machine and very hard to achieve a
keen edge. Kea CNC operator Graeme Britten
worked closely with Robertson and Sinclair
in trialling various cutters before fi nding the
Vortex XP far superior for their work.
U.S.A
Extreme Performance Compression Spirals
Vortex have just released the best performing compression spiral available on the market.
Completely re-designed to suit Hard to Cut materials, which are tough on tool life.
VORTEX 3100XP Compression Spiral
Trialled in NZ over the last six months, this spiral has been proven to last 5 to 10
times longer in diffi cult to cut materials, such as high pressure laminate where
customers have been achieving 50 to 100 sheets. These cutters have also shown
amazing tool life in MDF and particle board.
If this spiral doesn’t out perform your existing cutter, we will supply your replacement at half price
Tooling • Saw Doctors • Woodworking Machines
Celebrating our 50th Anniversary 1961 - 2011
Graeme cuts all the panel for the interior
fi tout of around 20 vehicles a month, which
represents hundreds of panels a month. He
has found the Vortex XP lasts a month to fi ve
weeks by far the longest life. “Some spirals we
trialled only lasted a couple of weeks and none
gave as good an edge as we are achieving with
the Vortex. The longevity of these cutter is so
good we don’t bother with resharpening - it’s
done its job and we throw it away.”

Dr Buzz
Half way there … or half way to go
This issue of Joiners marks half way through
2011 and the fi rst half has certainly had
its moments. The Queensland floods, the
Christchurch earthquake followed by the
Japanese disaster has left us wondering what
could happen next.
There will be plenty of us who have re-visited
our insurance policies to see what kind of cover
we have and whether it would be satisfactory
in the face of these kinds of disasters. Certainly
there is something to be said for having solid
insurance cover.
However a counterpoint to this is that insurance
companies are not throwing money around
without putting claimants through the hoops.
It is not proving to be a simple matter to get
payments and commitments from insurance
companies to allow businesses to recover and
get back to where they were. While this is
understandable given that they are a business
just like everyone else, the idea is that they have
risk assessors to try to estimate the likelihood
of certain events happening. It does appear that
there have been a larger than usual number of
disasters worldwide and consequently they are
not making the money that they had planned.
But isn’t that why we have insurance
companies. They are the ones who are taking
the risk. Usually it works out fi ne and they
pocket healthy profi ts which are distributed to
shareholders or re-invested. In this instance,
it appears they have had worse issues than
expected.
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 72
That’s the way it rolls. So suck it up as they
say.
While the Christchurch earthquake will no
doubt have had an overall negative effect on the
New Zealand economy, from the woodworking
industry perspective, there should be some
positive spin off. Given that the construction
and building industry comprise a signifi cant
component of the economy, the re-build of
Christchurch when it gets underway in earnest
should provide an impetus which has an effect
throughout the country.
Whether it be construction, fit-outs, office
furniture etc we can expect a decent uplift at
the end of 2011 and into 2012. That will be
welcomed when it arrives.
Expect it to be accompanied however by a
period of higher and persistent infl ation. While
there doesn’t appear to be a lot of local pressure
causing infl ation, it is building overseas and
this will naturally fl ow through into the the NZ
economy. Our dollar is also trading above it’s
likely resting point so a future lowering of the
NZD will only add to infl ation.
This will be accompanied by higher interest
rates though I suspect not the 15 to 20% rates
the oldies of us remember from the 80’s.
Given that it was the low deposit interest rates
which forced a lot of retired people to “invest”
in the likes of Blue Chip etc because of the low
returns from cash on deposit – higher bank
deposit rates may be a good thing.
Higher interest rates will also suppress property
values somewhat which should encourage
investment in more productive assets than
property. A further goal of the government to
correct imbalances in our economy.
Lets further hope for the Japanese Housewives
and Belgian dentists to lose interest in the NZ
dollar so that it can settle back down. I know
it makes fl at screen TV’s and holidays overseas
more expensive, but if it makes the exporters
happy and lets our local manufacturers compete
better against cheap imports, then I’m all for
it.
That’s the Buzz for now.
See you next time.
Dr Buzz can be contacted via email at
duncans@r-s.co.nz

update
Every quarter as I sit down to write this column I hope to be able to talk
about the imminent market uplift. However, yet again our industry
continues to face very challenging times, especially business people
in Christchurch. Judging by the recent media headlines – “Building
slump drags on”, “Building consents trends keeps falling”, “Housing
data probably cannot get any worse”, etc. You would be forgiven for
thinking that it all looks too hard.
National new house consents are at a 40 year low and the key macro
statistics indicate a slow economy for some time yet. The GDP forecast
is fl at (income levels), slower employment recovery (peoples confi dence
in keeping their jobs), net migration (number of new people moving to
New Zealand) translates to a drop in peoples willingness to spend money
especially on new housing.
The residential outlook looks fl at in the short term, while commercial
looks better but is mixed. While there will be a recovery longer term, in
the meantime businesses need to survive. What this means is that we will
need to take a much closer look to search out the opportunities.
How do you win? Standing out is the key. I came across a great quote
recently, from a very successful business man called William Taylor.
“Don’t aspire to be “pretty good” at everything – fi gure out how to be
the absolute best of something”
Recent research shows that today’s customers are more motivated by
quality than quantity and by experience rather than objects. I read a NZ
survey that found 58.7% of customers were either, neutral, dissatisfi ed
or very dissatisfi ed with levels of service. The top 3 factors that defi ne
good customer service are showing a willingness to help, listening and
understanding your customers needs and taking responsibility to ensure
those needs are met.
I am currently touring the country delivering presentations to key
customers of The Laminex Group on where I see the opportunities in the
market. For example there are still strong prospects in the renovation
market with over 70,000 kitchens being renovated annually. Over half
of these renovations are in the mid market of customised kitchens.
To support our kitchen customers to go after these kitchen renovations
and other opportunities, The Laminex Group has recently launched
a number of new products including Formica, Melteca and Samet
Hardware. However, the product that has potential to add signifi cant
value to our customers is Laminex Metaline – an innovative splashback
product that can be cut to size and fabricated on site. Have a talk to your
local sales representative if you haven’t yet received the information
on this exciting new product. We have a number of other new products
almost ready to go, so watch this space!
As I sign off, I would just like to say that the road ahead is what we
will make of it. There is no doubt that we are in very tough times and
the outlook is fl at. However there are opportunities when you look
closely. Driving a successful renovation experience is one-such key
opportunity in the residential market – but to win it you must stand out
and be remarkable. The Laminex Group is in the business of supporting
successful customers. Together we’re creating the future.

3D winners
In a recent giveaway promotion, 3D
Kitchen provided software to Cabinets
by Webb in Wangaratta Victoria.
Unknown to owners, Dean and Blair
Webb their office administrator,
Kimberley Risstrom, had entered
them into the 3D Kitchen software
giveaway promotion. When they were
contacted and advised that they had
won the software, they were shocked
and skeptical before becoming excited
at the prospect of incorporating 3D
kitchen into their business and taking
advantage of the design and production
features with particular interest in the
time saving they would achieve over
their current business methods.
Dean and Blair had for some years
used a MultiCam CNC machine, but
had not ventured into the realm of
software for automating their design
and production. 3D Kitchen provided
Webbs with its Pro ToolPath version for
automatic linking of design jobs to their
tried and true MultiCam machine. This
was a three day on site process, with
the installation and training being done
personally by Chris Adams (owner of
3D Kitchen) and Rob Wegmann the
3D Kitchen representative for Victoria.
The on site process is essential and
provides for the precise adjusting of
the production software to correctly
cut, shape and drill panels to exactly
match the requirements of the business
concerned. At the end of the 3rd day
on site, Webbs were very excited to
see their fi rst job processed directly
from 3D Kitchen to their MultiCam
machine cleanly and accurately - “just
like magic!”
Cabinets by Webb is a high volume
cabinet producer requiring accuracy
and versatility in a software product,
delivered to a high standard by 3D
Kitchen. Webbs have an informative
website (no pun intended) at http://
www.cabinetsbywebb.com.au
3D Kitchen is focused on moving
businesses ahead in large strides towards
higher effi ciency and productivity. Our
best wishes to Dean and Blair, keep that
machine running hot!

Why you need to think about training now
If you have been reading the
papers lately, or listening to the
news, you will realise that New
Zealand is heading for a major
skill shortage ─ particularly in the
construction industry. This is due
to a variety of factors, the main
ones being:
• The rebuild needed after the
Christchurch earthquakes
• Weather-tightness related
issues
• Delayed demand for building
and construction sector activity
foregone during the recession
• Residual and on-going demand
for building and construction
activity.
The level of building consents
being applied for has dramatically
reduced throughout the recession
but the signs are that it will soon
start to increase again, and in some
areas even exceed previous levels.
Research shows that in the next
few years the equivalent of 40,000
new homes per annum will be
required throughout the country.
This is due to the:
• 40,000 houses that are a part
of the leaky building spectrum.
Amendments to the legislation
are due to come into play
very soon, and will require
repair costs to be covered by
Government (25%), Local
Bodies (25%) and homeowners
(50%). The majority of these
homes are in Auckland.
• 10,000 Homes in Christchurch
are either demolished or are
about to be.
• 100,000 homes in Christchurch
will require extensive
refurbishment.
• 200,000 homes require
extensive work over the next
fi ve years
Even if 20% of all skilled labour
available at the 2006 Census were
able to be redeployed to address
the Christchurch and weathertightness
challenges, it would take
at least four, and up to six, years
for the rebuilding and remediation
to be completed.
As manufacturers, no matter
which part of the country you
work, the impacts will ripple out.
The problem is so large there is
not one solution.
What is JITO doing?
JITO and BETA ( the construction
ITOs), have been meeting
with the Tertiary Education
Commission and the Ministry
of Social Development, who in
turn have been working with the
Prime Minister and Ministers
of Construction, Education and
Finance. These meetings have
resulted in the initiation of a
variety of programmes, including
the $42 million earmarked to help
training for Christchurch. The
detail of this initiative is yet to be
determined.
There is a BETA project that you
will hear about directly from us
about screening and redeploying
people who are currently
unemployed in Christchurch.
There will be remuneration for
those companies who register and
sign up one of these people.
We will be working directly with
our industries in Christchurch to
help them take advantage of the
Government training packages.
What can you do?
Work towards retaining your
people in employment. This needs
to be a priority and if that is not
possible, actively keep in touch
with past qualifi ed staff you know
about.
Ensure your supervisors and
managers have been trained to
be capable in their role. If they
have not received training I would
strongly suggest you contact
your JITO Area Training Advisor
(ATA). Contact details are on the
JITO website www.jito.org.nz.
Use this window of opportunity
and ensure all your long term
staff (7yrs in the industry and
over 25) who are not qualified
become qualifi ed through the RCC
process (Recognition of Current
Competence). Talk to your ATA

Consider your position for starting
a new apprentice sooner. Contact
an ATA to help you recruit the most
suitable person. It is possible to get
their fi rst block course completed
in 2011 whilst business is still
quiet. As you know, bringing on
a new apprentice requires a lead
in time for that person to be of
value to your business. Use your
ATA to help with the recruitment
process.
Be proactive. Underestimating
the magnitude of the issue will
be your loss. If your government
has stood to attention you should
be very interested.

a view from both sides
Tony DeLorenzo
When I first moved to
Wellington my first real
job involved setting up a health
and safety policy for a container
shipping yard. Like most
companies at that time health and
safety was seen as a huge expense
and time waster. Every container
yard owner was convinced they
had good practices and looked
after their staff. This whole policy
paper trail did nothing and tied
up valuable staff time. Trying to
change the mindset that came from
the directors themselves was no
easy task.
Practices like a 28 hour shift for
a container loader driver, night
shift fi lling up paint bottles by the
light of cigarette lighters, using
empty thinner drums as ladders
for welding, and no evacuation
plans, were all ingrained. Even
on my fi rst day on a tour of the
yard the director took a short cut
between 2 containers, only to say
“don’t do that” when we got to
the other side. Earlier that year
a surveyor in another city was
crushed attempting to get through
before a loader pushed the 2
containers together.
Happily with a little persistence
and buy in from the directors
things changed. The yards are
no longer accidents waiting to
happen, health and safety is taken
seriously and the risk of serious
injuries is near to zero.

Sixties rewiring or modern bomb kit.
From the small number of factory
tours I have been on it seems that
our industry is pretty good at
setting up and following policies,
at least for the big stuff. However
it is the small stuff that can trip
you up.
At an NKBA meeting recently I
was told of an incident which I
will have to say is unconfi rmed
and no names were mentioned.
An installer had taken to bringing
a cleaning solvent to a job site in
a pump water bottle. It was always
kept with their tools and everyone
involved with the installation
and at the factory knew that the
bottle did not contain water, it
also looked a bit grimy and well
used.
On one installation when it was
time to pack up the bottle was
grabbed and put away as usual.
However the wrong bottle was
picked up as the owner of the
house had left a well used pump
bottle in the kitchen. This should
not have been a problem but in the
rush to get to work in the morning
the owner grabbed the bottle
without checking. While driving
he took a swig before registering
the odour. Nasty.
As I said earlier it is the small
things that trip you up. Health and
Safety policies cover the entire
workplace, but there is a tendency
to focus on the really big things.
No one would let someone drive
a forklift drunk, but putting a
poisonous liquid in a drink bottle
is such a small thing and well,
what are the chances.
The biggest thing I learnt doing
health and safety was that people
only do things if they are easy, so
make things as easy as possible.
If high viz vests are needed make
sure you get more than are needed
and put them where they are
easily grabbed. Put ear plugs
everywhere on the workshop
fl oor, and buy the right bottles and
labels for storing and transporting
dangerous goods.
It may cost a little but it is worth it
when you see what could happen
to someone’s life.
The Ranfurly Challenge
- Our Own Personal Project
The Electrics
You would think a 110 year old
house would have some mod
cons? Well it did come with a
UHF aerial, but that is now useless
as they have turned off terrestrial
TV.
We did have electricity. The fi rst
job was to get it disconnected
so we could jack the house up.
Easy. The following month we
received a power bill for over
$800 which was our estimated
use over the period the house was
suspended 5 feet above the ground
with the power cable physically
disconnected from the building.
The reason it was an estimate
was the meter reader did not have
a ladder to get in the front door to
read the meter!
Our electrician did a quick check
and said the house had been
rewired sometime in the sixties,
but as it was an old house there
were limited power points. Most
rooms only had 1 but strangely 2
rooms had none whatsoever.
Luckily as the house was suspended
in the air it was easy for the sparkie
to walk under the fl oor and wire
up through the fl oor for all the
power points that we needed. The
lathe and plaster wall construction
was a bit of a challenge for fi xing
the sockets to and so he came up
with an innovative time saving
solution. He left them hanging out
of the wall.
When one of the bedroom lights
blew we noticed that the wire
was the old fabric covered type
that needed replacing. While in
the ceiling space fi xing this up
the truth of the rewiring became
apparent. All the wires coming
from the fusebox were replace
in the 1960’s but they only went
half a meter into the ceiling and
were then spliced into the old
wires. These old wires with rotten
insulation ran through metal
conjugate to all the old lights and
switches. It was incredible that the
attic space was not ‘live’.
Due to the small number of original
electrical points in the house it was
a quick and inexpensive rewire
and only resulted in minor damage
to our bed. Long story ... perhaps
next time.

Due Process
Geoff Hardy
Dark days and dirty deeds
It usually takes a recession like the 2008-
10 global meltdown to expose the worst
corporate abuses. We mostly associate this
particular recession with the collapse of the
fi nance companies and the loss of investment
savings that went with it. Many of those
collapses were merely due to foreseeable
risks coming to fruition, and their owners and
managers have been unfairly maligned. But
in the more blatant of cases, the owners and
managers either misled and deceived investors
from the outset, or eventually diverted public
funds into their own private projects without
authority. The Financial Markets Authority is
thankfully pursuing the worst excesses and
bringing the perpetrators to justice.
However, bad behaviour is not confi ned to
those who have public money at their disposal.
Recessions also test the ethics and morality of
owners and managers of smaller, privatelyfunded
companies. The problem is that they
become accustomed to a certain privileged
lifestyle, and are extremely reluctant to give it
up despite the dramatic decrease in profi tability
of their companies. There simply isn’t enough
money to go around, and since they don’t want
to reduce their share, someone else’s share
has to reduce. In a company-run business,
there are only two suitable candidates to
force this involuntary sacrifi ce upon. One is
the company’s creditors, and the other is its
shareholders.
Ripping off your creditors can be done in a
variety of ways. The least sophisticated method
is simply to suspend payments to all creditors
(except the ones you really need to do business
with), buy more time with a host of excuses,
put up as many obstacles as you can in front of
anyone who attempts to recover their debt from
you, and pay only those who really put the heat
on you, at the courtroom door. At the other end
of the scale are the sophisticated schemes that
are intended to leave your creditors picking
over the carcass while you escape with the loot.
A typical example of this is the old phoenix
company scam.
Phoenix company schemes work like this. The
shareholder/directors of company ABC Ltd
decide to shed themselves of their creditors.
They form another company XYZ Ltd. They
then change the name of ABC Ltd to LMN Ltd,
and at the same time change XYZ’s name to
ABC. This is done in secret, discoverable only
by those who search the Companies Offi ce
register, and happen to notice that the names
of the companies have changed. All other
details such as registered offi ce, directors and
shareholders remain the same, deliberately
so.
The shareholder/directors then fi nd a friendly
liquidator. They negotiate in advance for the
payment of the liquidator’s fees and for the
purchase by the new ABC Ltd of the old ABC
Ltd’s core trading assets at a fi re sale price.
They then put the old ABC Ltd (now named
LMN Ltd) into voluntary liquidation, leaving
its creditors with nothing but a claim against
the net proceeds of the sale of the core trading
assets, which are often paid in instalments
by the director/shareholders over a lengthy
period.
Very few people, particularly ABC Ltd’s
ongoing customers, are any the wiser. That is
the whole idea. Everyone except the creditors
who have been left in the lurch, think that
ABC Ltd is exactly the same entity that they
traded with in the past, blissfully unaware that
the director/shareholders are not exactly as
creditworthy as they appear.
An alternative to ripping off your creditors
is ripping off your fellow shareholders.
Shareholders are entitled to all the surplus
profi ts of the company after the creditors have
been paid. Majority shareholders who control
the company can simply cut off the income
stream to the minority shareholders by paying
themselves excessive salaries, making overpriced
investments in personal projects, and
building up reserves rather than paying out
dividends.
The minority are then effectively shut out
of active participation in the company.
Shareholders’ and directors’ meetings are
dispensed with, as are all of the formalities
prescribed by the Companies Act except
for those that are inescapable, and the fl ow
of information to the minority shareholders
dries up.
At the more blatant end of the scale are scams
such as the old “hive-down”. This is intended
to defeat selected creditors and shareholders
alike. Essentially, those in control of the
company simply transfer its business and assets
to another company that they own. Although
this can be done legitimately, the “just do it”
brigade never bother to observe the proper
formalities. They either take the assets and pay
nothing back to the original company in return,
or they get some bogus back-of-the-envelope
valuation done to justify paying what is in
reality a massive undervalue for the assets they
have acquired.
But it’s not all bad news for the creditors and
shareholders who have been left out in the
cold. There is a host of remedies available
to them and forms of leverage they can use
against the corporate bullies. For example,
promoters of phoenix company schemes can
now be made personally liable for the unpaid
debts. And majority shareholders can be held
to account for breaches of their statutory duties
or unfairly prejudicial conduct against minority
shareholders. So if you are in that situation,
don’t despair. You don’t have to take it lying
down.

voice search
Google voice search is an interesting
new Google innovation that enables
you to do a Google search by
speaking the words.
To use it you will need a microphone
and the Google Chrome browser (it
can be downloaded from www.
google.com/chrome if you don’t
already have it). Open the browser
and enter http://www.2lingual.com/
google-multilingual-voice-search.
To do a voice search, select your
language, click on the microphone,
and speak. You may need to adjust
the microphone settings for voice
search to recognise your words and
may need to adjust your volume
Speak clearly. The results will show
your words in the search box and
also ask you “did you say any of the
following?” in case it misheard.
Like any voice activated programme
it’s not perfect – but it’s not too bad.
I tested it by searching for a variety
of words and it recognised most of
them correctly.

WOODMAX
CNC Spiral Cutters
Prowood now imports
its own range of CNC
Spiral cutters for nesting
based manufacturers.
These cutters are made
in the USA by OEM
(Overseas Equipment
Manufacturer) thus we
use our own branding of
WOODMAX.
By buying from a reliable manufacturer
with out their label we are able to
purchase the tooling cheaper and pass
to you the customer a cheaper price.
We do not make claims that the tools
are better than others other than the
performance should be similar but the
pricing should be cheaper. These are
solid carbide tools not cheap carbide
tools welded to steel bodies.

compact lightweight powerful
Festool is expanding its range of cordless drills with the new CXS. The compact 10.8
volt drill impresses with its lightweight design weighing just 900 grams and is extremely
powerful, has two gears and is well-balanced for optimal power transfer - also ideal for
all areas that are hard to access.
The pleasant effortlessness of its compact design and balanced weight distribution is
immediately noticeable, as is the power that the new 10.8 volt CXS delivers when used
for drilling and boring. Great for hard-to-access places, overhead work and anywhere
where it is particularly narrow and hard to access. The high-performance lithium-ion
battery packs represent real value in terms of endurance, with up to 340 chipboard screws
(4x40 millimeters) from just one battery charge. And the 12-phase torque adjustment
allows the power to be transferred to the respective work either by fi ne metering or
controlled metering. Festool manufactures its new CXS cordless drills in Germany
and offers a three-year guarantee on the cordless drill, battery pack and charger of its
battery-operated units.

High technology for all types of machining
As part of the SCM Groups ongoing research and development process, the very
successful Pratix range of CNC machining centres has been redeveloped to give us
the Pratix Z2.
Customization and fl exibility thanks to the wide choice of optional devices and
equipment presettings, with high performance multifunction aluminium work table,
pendulum machining, drill units with 18 to 26 drills, electro spindles with 10 or 15hp,
C axis, dedicated horizontal routing units or 0-90 saw unit, tool changer with up to 18
positions and a working component passage of 180mm.
Performance/Overall Dimensions Ratio thanks to the technical solutions such as the
bumpers safety protection and the electric cabinet intergraded inside the machine
base.
As standard the SCM range of CNC machining centres are fi tted with HSK 63 tool
coupling technology, this gives you absolute positioning accuracy, the highest degree
of rigidity and the ability to run at faster speeds and feed rates while achieving a better
fi nished product. The HSK tool holders can be interchanged between the SCM range
of CNC spindle moulders, allowing for a dramatic reduction in set-ups over multiple
machines in your workshop.
The SCM Pratix Z2 is now the ideal solution for solid timber and nesting based
manufacturing without compromise.

BMW ORACLE Racing select CMS machining centres
CMS Industries is very proud to announce its
sponsorship collaboration as Offi cial Supplier
of BMW ORACLE Racing, a relationship
which began in 2008 with the supply of a
CNC machining centre for the manufacture of
composite-material boat parts, an important
tool in the high-tech carbon fi bre construction
of racing yachts.
The association with BMW ORACLE Racing
has enhanced CMS’s leading role in the racing
field. The number of racing vehicles with
composite parts being machined on CMS
machining centres is steadily increasing with
the company’s growing presence in sports
applications from racing bicycles to F1 car
components.
Giulio Gasparini, CMS Area Manager, said
“Our machine’s technical features, the price
/ performance ratio but also CMS company’s
soundness and reputation in the machining
of composite materials, especially in racing
applications, have been the key factors enabling
CMS to win their competition with other
suppliers. CMS stands by BMW ORACLE
Racing ready to provide their products and
support in order to win together.”
JOINERS Magazine June 2011 page 86
Tim Smyth, the co-construction manager of
BMW ORACLE Racing, explains why the
team has chosen the CMS machine: “Americas
Cup Yachts employ the latest technology in
materials and construction processes. CNC
produced tools and fi nished parts are one of the
most signifi cant advances in Yacht construction
over the past decade and they now play a
crucial role in our build program. To produce
these components quickly and to preserve our
design innovations it is important to posses
your own CNC machines. We have used CMS
machines extensively throughout the past
two editions of the Americas Cup through the
services of subcontractors, and based on their
performance we choose CMS to supply our
fi rst machine in 2009.”
BMW Oracle Racing
Founded in 2000 by American Larry Ellison, the
professional sailing team’s main focus is to win the
America’s Cup. BMW ORACLE Racing represents
the Golden Gate Yacht Club of San Francisco and
is based in Valencia, Spain. The team’s composite
boat construction expertise is also available for
non-team projects through Oracle Racing Ltd in
Warkworth, NZ.
Poseidon machining centre from CMS. Oracle Racing
Ltd based in Warkworth just north of Auckland is
commissioning one with an X-axis of 6 metres a Yaxis
of 18 metres and a Z-axis of 3 metres.

of 100 millions Euros, with 4 subsidiaries
and a worldwide sales network. CMS
Industries products, CNC machining
centres, thermoforming machines, CNC
cutting robots, waterjet systems, compete
