The company, which produces signs for small firms and high profile names, is using the Compact 5207 saw to cut plywood and MDF, plus other materials.

Bolton Sign Contractors said the new machine took up less workshop space than the previous bulky sliding table saw and also increased production efficiency.

The 5.7m-long Compact can process panels up to 4.6×2.07m and has a maximum cutting depth of 60mm. Sheets processed by Bolton range from 2-60mm thick.

The unit is based on a single, fully welded sawing frame and features a digital measuring system.

Striebig saws are available from £8,300-25,000.
