He learned that Striebig saws were available through a well-known and long established UK distributor, T M Machinery Sales, of Leicester, UK, which provides an efficient after-sales service.

The Striebig Control machine, with models available in nine different sizes, is a fully-automatic vertical panel saw that works to an accuracy of 0.1mm and represents the cutting edge in vertical panel saw technology.
A digital measuring system is fitted as standard.
It delivers a perfectly square cut every time, doing away with the need to manually sand and trim edges after cutting.
The Control's sophisticated design allows it to be operated via an ergonomic control panel, leaving time for the next batch of work to be prepared.
Much of the cutting operation is automated; the saw head is power fed, and the feed speed is controlled to ensure the quality of the cut is maintained.
Numerous automatic procedures carried out by the press of a button include the following.
* Locking and releasing the saw beam.
* Setting the horizontal cutting height.
* Plunging and swivelling the motor.
* Locking the support rollers during sawing.
* Fine saw blade adjustment.
It features the highly efficient TRK dust extraction system that ensures that dust levels are kept well below permitted European limits.
Amongst the wide range of options available to improve its productivity still further is four-sided trimming.
This allows the bottom trim cut to be carried out automatically without the panel having to be lifted or turned once it has been placed on the bed.
