Cabinet Makers

Nesting CNC machines have been widely adopted in cabinetry due to their efficiency and accuracy in batch-size-one applications. A key focus for modern manufacturers is achieving the maximum uptime and speed on these machines as they can be the limiting factor on the output of the operation. Advanced machinery have high travel speeds but the interface between the machine and the end product is the tool.

When producing profiles on the CNC there are three main objectives: consistency, efficiency, and a high-quality end-product. Depending on the profile and the capabilities of the machine, Panel Tools can offer tailored solutions in solid carbide, braised tip, replaceable tip and diamond to work towards each of these objectives. In particular, we can assist with high performance solutions for producing square and bevelled shaker doors.

Drilling is one of the most time consuming processes on the CNC and often it is the most overlooked when looking to improve efficiencies. We can offer high performance drills to increase plunge rates or multi-boring aggregates to increase your drilling capacity. Aside from standard drilling, we also have solutions for drilling at great depths, profiled drills for producing plugs and profiled drills which produce chamfers or rebates.

Surfacing is the process of flattening a large area by removing a small amount of material across the face of a component. This removes any discrepancies in thickness and provides a clean surface. Generally a surfacing tool needs to cover a lot of area and the result must be perfectly flat and smooth. Replaceable tips and diamond tips are common options which range from smaller and more cost effective solutions up to larger high efficiency solutions.

Panel Tools provides expert advice and the highest quality CNC tooling to cabinet makers and timber workshops of all sizes. Our router bits, profile cutters, chucks and tool holders are all designed to drive the industry forward and improve the final products that cabinet makers are able to deliver to their customers. Each one of our cabinet making tools comes from trusted manufacturing partners who share our commitment to quality and safety. Our products are ideally suited for both fine work in detail workshops and high feed rate, high volume applications.

Cabinet makers can unlock the potential of their CNC machines with Panel Tools’ range of router bits, cutterheads, chucks, saw blades and other tooling. We supply tools that are ideal for all shaping, profiling, carving and sizing work in hardwood timber, manufactured timber panels and other materials such as Corian, plastic, foam and aluminium. For specialist tasks, we carry tools such as hinge boring bits and off-the-shelf profile knives for carving finger pulls and fine details. Made with quality carbide cutting tips and advanced diamond-like coatings, cabinet makers can rely on our range of CNC tools to deliver high-quality finishes and support their critical production processes.
