[six-point socket II]

Hi!

The Martin family apparently sold to Striebig. Haven’t found an article on this in English language yet, so this will have to do for now:

Striebig übernimmt Otto Martin

Die Schweizer Striebig AG, Erfinder und weltweiter Marktführer für vertikale Plattensägen, übernimmt 100 % der Anteile des deutschen Premiumherstellers Otto

Kind regards,

For anyone else that wants to know what a Vertical Plate Saw is...this thing weighs 2600#.

For “premium class” shouldn’t the robot that loads panels onto the rig be included?

Well if a Paper Holder is optional then a robot is certainly optional.

I know we’re having some fun here, but actually these vertical panel saws are very, very comfortable and fairly easy to use/ achieve precise results with. And with the right accessories, a single person can easily handle full sheets. https://www.kaiserkraft.de/transpor...n/plattenkarre/tragfaehigkeit-300-kg/p/M7540/


It’s a common sight here, every big box store offering cutting services/ cut to measure sheet goods, counter tops, (…) has one of these. Obviously make/model varies. The better big box stores have already expanded those services beyond just cutting. They will route/mortise for counter top joints, edge band, (…), as well. My favorite big box store has almost a complete wood shop in the back and actually employs trained joiners for the corresponding department.

Kind regards,
Oliver

You'd move up to a beam saw at that point. The tricky thing is actually getting sized melamine panels off of a vertical saw without chipping them.

Grabo suction lifter.

Actually 2 Grabo’s.

You'd actually want one of these if you're working alone at the vertical saw for an extended period. Gets tiresome lifting sheet goods.
