Why did you decide to purchase a Vertical Panel Saw?

We had a very old vertical panel saw. It was coming to the stage where we were throwing money at it for ongoing repairs to keep it going so enough was enough it was time to invest in a new vertical panel saw

How did you find the sales and installation process?

Really easy to be honest. The team discussed the various models. Asking what materials and sheet sizes we were working with but also our work demands. After this we discussed a couple of options and decided to go with the robust Koolkut machine. The guys installed the machine quickly and the engineer did the final steps and training

How has a Vertical Saw benefited you and your business ?

Much better for reliability compared to our old saw. Now I can confidently know the machine is going to be working and not wondering if its going to fail on us mid job like the old machine we had. This has allowed us to keep to our deadline for customer orders!

Where did you hear about Sagetech Machinery?

I met the Sagetech guys at the W18 show a couple of years back. I often checked their website and kept up to date with their work for when I needed to buy a machine. 

Why did you decide to purchase a Vertical Panel Saw?

The time was right to buy the panel saw. We had been using a small chop saw and with our expanded growth we needed to invest in a better machine for our work demands.

How did you find the sales and installation process?

Choosing a machine was simple. I got a bargain from the approved used section on the website. The machine was delivered to us and left for the engineer to install. He was due to come on the Wednesday but popped in on Tuesday afternoon to start the installation of the machine. He finished up on the Wednesday and showed us how to use the machine and importantly keeping it cutting accurately.

How has a Vertical Saw benefited you and your business ?

We are now cutting our plywood sheets down accurately so I’ve less waste material! Also I’ve noticed that this Koolkut is a lot quicker for cutting that our previous set up – given the expanded growth and demand for our products this has been invaluable to me and my guys. The production time is quicker and we are completing orders quicker too.

Where did you hear about Sagetech Machinery?

They were recommended to us from a company I deal with – we knew roughly what we wanted but weren’t sure where to buy one from!

Why did you decide to purchase a Vertical Panel Saw?

Although our work shop is large so are the yachts. We needed something to allow us to cut MDF sheets down in our workshop while also not loosing a large floor space like what happens with a table saw.

How did you find the sales and installation process?

So straight forward – we discussed requirements and quickly sorted the machine. From there we just needed to clear space in our workshop then the team brought and constructed the saw in our workshop, their engineer came to calibrate the machine and do the training with my cutting guys which was nice and straight forward. 

How has a Vertical Saw benefited you and your business ?

Its been great for our workshop to have the capability to cut our jumbo 3m by 2m MDF and plywood boards down. This allows us to order large sheets and cut to requirements for our work load. Our workshop can be extremely busy and now not waiting on the boards arriving in pre-cut is a great step in our production methods

SPACE! Its had to be done for our Manchester construction site. Space is always key but we also needed something we can move as our construction project moved to its next phase. 

How did you find the sales and installation process?

The guys were great – from picking the saw, to deliver to installation I cant fault them! They helped us choose the right saw for us, they fit the delivery around our existing deliveries and most importantly got it here quickly as we were desperate to get this going

How has a Vertical Saw benefited you and your business ?

Fantastic really. We are now cutting our cement based particle board down on site – this is amazing for the speed of construction now – we go to our on-site storage, grab the boards, cut and fit and its job done. Its less headaches for me to worry about waiting for orders to be processed by our site controller and accounts now as all I am ordering is stock sheet sizes on a monthly basis
