 Brett has evaluated products from many major names in the industry and has now penned his own review of the Zapkut ZM series.

“We have all heard stories of how investment in expensive tools is so great that you can’t afford to have any downtime on them. Well, how about a British designed and made vertical panel saw that is accurate, easy to use and is reasonably priced—so reasonably priced in fact, that small workshops can afford to buy one and find a place for it in the premises,” Brett says.

What I liked about the ZM12 when I tried it was the absolute simplicity of use”

The ZM series comes in two sizes—the ZM12 and the ZM16—but the ZM12 takes 2500 x 1250mm sheets of material, while the ZM16 takes 3100 x 1600mm sheets of material.

Brett continues: “What I liked about the ZM12 when I tried it was the absolute simplicity of use. The target market? I think that any ‘small user’ cutting between 10 to 30 sheets a week would soon recoup their investment with the greater accuracy and speed that it would bring to production.

“Since wall saws take up very little space, and are actually much safer and more accurate than using a table saw to cut sheet materials, it seems to me a bit of a no brainer to give the Zapkut range a look. It could be a very wise decision indeed.”
