The finished component should lead the cutter choice. Before you select from a standard range, look closely at the profile you need to produce, the timber being machined, the number of parts required and the finish you expect. A cutter that suits one detail may not suit the next, even when both components are made…
Plan Every Wood Component with Greater Confidence Wood-based components are not all produced in the same way. Material choice, panel finish, component dimensions and assembly requirements all work together to shape appearance, consistency, production flow and long-term quality. When these details are defined early, repeat production can follow a clearer and more reliable route. Prima…
Geometry That Supports Cleaner Panel Drilling Reliable panel production starts with drilling geometry that suits the board, hole specification and machine operation. When these details are matched properly, you can plan for cleaner holes, repeatable machining and a more consistent component finish. Point angle, centre point, spurs, cutting edges, flute shape and shank design all…
Make Process Choices That Support Better Wood Machining Better wood machining starts with a process that suits the work in front of you. Material selection, product design, machining sequence and production planning all affect the consistency of your work, the finish on the material, the profiles you can produce and the way production runs are…
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…
