PCD Cutter Returns for Sharpening After 26 Years It isn’t often that a cutting tool comes back through the workshop and immediately takes you back more than two decades. These adjustable PCD-tipped stile-and-rail cabinet door cutter sets were originally manufactured by Prima Tooling 26 years ago and recently returned to us for sharpening. At the…
Toolholding can have a significant influence on cutting quality, tool life and the overall performance of a CNC router. When problems such as poor edge finish, excessive noise, vibration or premature cutter wear occur, attention naturally turns to the cutting tool. However, the condition and accuracy of the tool holder can also play an important…
Repeatable wood machining starts with a tool that has been specified for the component you need to produce. When profiles, dimensions and surface quality stay consistent, furniture, joinery, cabinet, door and timber component production can move from one batch to the next with greater confidence. At Prima Tooling, we manufacture PCD, TCT, carbide and HSS…
Consistent Furniture Finishes Begin with Better Planning Furniture makers depend on well-organised processes every day. The quality of material preparation, component design and production planning can affect accuracy, workflow and the finish your customers see on a cabinet door, fitted unit, moulding or specialist wood component. A furniture manufacturing process is more than a sequence…
Repeatable furniture production depends on more than a well-planned drawing or a capable machine. Every cabinet panel, door, drawer part and joinery detail needs to come off the machine at the right size, with a clean edge and a finish that matches the rest of the run. We manufacture precision cutting tools for woodworking applications…
Matched wood tooling sets give cabinet makers a clear way to keep joinery and visual details in step from the first component to the last. Rather than choosing separate cutters one by one, you can specify a coordinated set built around the same profile family. At Prima Tooling, we manufacture precision wood tooling for the…
Cabinet Production Planning for Consistent Results Cabinet production depends on parts arriving accurate, well organised and ready for the next stage. When cabinet sides, doors, shelves, drawer parts and interior fittings are produced in volume, careful planning has a direct bearing on throughput and finish standards. A considered production approach supports repeatable dimensions, steady quality…
Accurate CAD data provides a clear route from an initial concept to a well-defined production requirement. When you supply a drawing alongside details of the intended product, materials and manufacturing objectives, the information can be developed into a specification that is practical to produce. For manufacturers and production teams, CAD is a shared reference point.…
Consistent Edging Starts with the Right Cutter Geometry Reliable panel production starts with a clean, accurate edge. Before a panel moves on to assembly or finishing, its edging needs to match the intended shape and appearance. Small variations can stand out when panels sit side by side in a kitchen, office fit-out or furniture range.…
MDF is one of the most widely machined materials in furniture, kitchen, joinery and panel production. But choosing the right MDF cutting tools can make a significant difference to edge quality, tool life and overall production costs. Although MDF appears relatively easy to machine, its combination of wood fibres and resin binders makes it surprisingly…
