The Advantages Of CNC Cutting

CNC Cutting,Sheets,Timber — Tags: , , — Booker Timber @ 9:48 am

Although the construction industry has all kinds of technology, skills, and equipment at its disposal, when it comes to wood, you sometimes need to employ the services of a good timber supplier. Timber suppliers can not only supply raw materials, but also use cnc cutting machines, to provide you with the right size, and finish of product.

Using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is almost like printing out some work on a computer, except instead of ink and paper, we’re using a cutting tool and wood. The benefits of this are threefold. We can deal with large sheets of wood, and cut in a way that reduces wastage and saves you money. Our work also involves either cut to size mdf or other wood, or cutting and shaping to the design you supply, with all the settings sent from computer to the cutting machine.

This can be ideal for domestic products, such as decorative furniture and wall panelling. It’s an accurate and high speed way of routing and cutting that can be used for not only wood, but plastic and mdf as well.

Booker Timber deal with large and small orders, for a variety of different industries, from aerospace to packaging. Along with precise cutting services, we can also offer timber supplies, such as real wood veneers, plywood sheets, and self-assembly raised bed kits, for gardens and nurseries. To find out more about CNC cutting, and what the technology can do, visit us online, or call us for quotations and advice.

The Benefits of Raised Beds

Raised Beds Table Beds — Tags: , , , — Booker Timber @ 10:25 am

We are a leading timber merchant that can provide sheet cutting services, CNC routing and assembled or kit form raised beds.

Do you want vegetables free from pesticides? Here at Booker Timber we can offer raised beds which have been quality treated by tannalisation – a wood preservative that can preserve wood or timber for numerous years. Therefore, our premium Scandinavian timber is extremely durable so it will not be susceptible to fungus or insects, and it can also fight against the elements. The tannalisation will also give the timber an aesthetically pleasing green colour which blends in with a garden area.

Is the Treatment Safe for Children?

You can rest assured that when you buy our raised beds they will perform effectively and will not cause any harm to your children or animals, so they are ideal for city gardens, country gardens and roof top gardens. Our raised beds are also ideal for disabled or elderly people as they are extremely easy to use.

Does the Wood Have to be Treated?

Many people have often opted to purchase raised beds without tannalisation due to the sheer strength and durability of our timber. Also, untreated raised beds can also be painted or varnished, so you can customise your raised bed to complement your garden area.

Raised beds ultimately allow you to enjoy growing your own food and it can become a valuable pass time. Using raised beds in gardening can also help you teach children about the sources of vegetables and help them to understand the importance of high quality ingredients.

If you are interested in our raised beds from us here at Booker Timber, we can provide you with kit form or assembled beds.

If you would like to know more about our raised beds or CNC cutting services, you should contact us today and speak to a friendly and helpful member of staff.

CNC Cutting — Tags: , , , — Booker Timber @ 3:07 pm

It is a fundamental rule of business that success comes from respecting and maximising the resources at your disposal.

At Booker Timber, we are proud to be ethical, taking several important steps, with the assistance of the latest technology, to ensure that our services do not cause extensive damage to the planet.

By making careful use of CNC cutting machines and intelligent design software, we can make certain that the waste we produce is kept to an absolute minimum. Our CNC beam saws are some of the largest in the country, allowing us to process even bulk orders efficiently and precisely, within a 0.1mm accuracy tolerance. In addition to this, all of our timber is Chain of Custody certified, allowing us peace of mind regarding the carbon footprint of our trade and the sustainability of our resources.

This means that whether you need cut to size chipboard or MDF sheets as a tradesman, a corporation or a DIY-enthusiast, we can help you to source ecologically-friendly, precision-cut materials for the job. If you’re not sure what kind of timber you might need for a particular job, we can offer our assistance and advice which stems from years of experience. We are also happy to cut free issue timber, and offer competitive prices on timber delivery, too.

The Value of Chipboard

CNC Cutting — Tags: , , , — Booker Timber @ 11:53 am

Chipboard is one of those materials that gets a bad name for being weaker than solid timber, but what most people miss is just how revolutionary the idea is. When used for the right applications, it’s just perfect and lasts well, and what’s more, the manufacture of chipboard uses up scraps and cuttings that would otherwise be thrown out. It reduces waste and in these environmentally conscious times surely we should give it a round of applause for that reason alone.

It’s true that a cut to size chipboard section may not be as strong as a single solid plank of hardwood but then, it often doesn’t have to be. The shelving in most kitchen cupboards doesn’t need to support a huge weight and in many cases Melamine Faced Chipboard (MFC) does the job perfectly well.

The melamine is a plastic coating that seals out moisture. This is quite important as the inner material can weaken when it gets damp, but there are other advantages. The smooth, waterproof melamine surface wipes clean, unlike raw timber, and it’s quite resistant to stains. MFC is cheap and easy to produce in a rainbow of different colours.

It isn’t suitable for every project but no single material is ideal for everything. In the right place it is an eco friendly, low cost option that performs well. We can provide chipboard or MFC precision shaped with computerised CNC cutting tools. If you’ve got a task and think chipboard is the way forward, we can create just what you want.

Cut to Size MDF

CNC Cutting — Tags: , , , — Booker Timber @ 11:32 am

MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is created by breaking small wood pieces down to the component fibres and remaking into a solid material. The components are usually sawdust and other by-products of the timber industry, so MDF sheets are an environmentally friendly option. When we need to cut down a tree, products like this let us use the whole thing with very little waste.

Because MDF is reworked from small particles it doesn’t contain knots. No piece of solid timber is uniform. They all contain knots (areas of high density), rings, or points of weakness. The finished fibreboard doesn’t, so it can be cut and shaped easily and precisely. Our computerised CNC routing machines can produce exact shapes with no chips or splinters.

Getting your fibreboard pre-cut is a good idea. It’s a great material, but because of the nature of the manufacturing process, cutting it releases considerable quantities of fine wood dust and airborne resins that can be dangerous if accidentally inhaled. All our workshops are very well ventilated and we follow best practice safety guidelines at all times. It pays to be careful when dealing with MDF.

We offer cut to size MDF to almost any specifications. Whether you only need a few pieces or want to place a massive bulk order, Booker Timber should be your first port of call. Our machinery represents the latest and best technology and our staff have the experience to use it well. We know MDF inside and out and can provide whatever you need at reasonable rates.
