The resaw was installed in Clive Christian’s Bolton factory to speed up and improve the quality of sawn timber production.

The machine was supplied with a laser siting system, touchscreen controls, an infinitely variable feed system and a pitless design.

"This is just the machine we need here," said Steve Dale, factory manager at Clive Christian. "It is fast, accurate, operator friendly and cuts down on timber wastage."

The company, founded in 1978, supplies bespoke kitchens and other interior furniture all over the world, with showrooms in many countries.
