from the president

Work to your strengths and the strengths of the team

’ve been thinking a lot about our organisation and our industry … which is not surprising as I found out recently that my #1 strength is Intellection. I attended the Master Joiners Professional Development Strengths Finders workshop recently. It turns out that there were no two of us with the same combination of strengths among the 22 attendees. There were a couple with some pretty unique and rare strengths and a real diversity from our group. Being a Master Joiners event, we were all from within the industry and therefore many of the learnings were described within a joinery context. We were joined by attendees from allied trades, and it is valuable to have had that connection. The key message from the day was to work to your strengths and ideally identify the strengths your team have and maximise those as well. Thanks to Blum for partnering with us to provide these workshops. Another of my strengths is Learner. Perhaps that deﬁnes my desire to look for opportunities to develop and continuously improve. As an industry I believe we do a reasonable job with our trade training, teaching the skills and techniques required to manufacture and craft the cabinetry and joinery we sell. I don’t think we do such a good job of training our leaders, managers, or supervisors, let alone business owners. Many a top tradesperson has failed as a business owner or toiled for years as a talented craftsperson without due reward. There is an opportunity here for Master Joiners to provide some insight and opportunities for Professional Development for owners and staﬀ. The pilot workshops held in Wellington and Christchurch have been a real success and the feedback is encouraging that we should continue this programme. Keep an eye out for more opportunities to work On your business in 2020.

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 4

I don’t think we do such a good job of training our leaders, managers, or supervisors, let alone business owners.

The third strength I’ll mention here is Connectedness which eludes to feeling a part of something bigger. That’s how I feel about our industry. Collectively, I believe we are a hugely talented sector that don’t receive all the recognition we deserve. We are threatened by imported products, cheap flatpack offerings, and unprofessional competitor businesses. Too often our skills and standards are devalued by the bar being set too low from this competition. Master Joiners membership provides the opportunity to differentiate ourselves. The recently released Code of Ethics and Standards goes a long way to defining who we are. The executive are currently exploring more ways to strengthen the MJ brand and specify exactly the standards that members manufacture to. Across my desk recently The first stage of the changes to Vocational Education are complete. NZJMF – Master Joiners aligned Joinery with the Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council and we now look to the establishment of the NZ Skills Institute and opportunities we may have to engage with that process. We have had further communication with Worksafe around health and exposure monitoring and expect that we will have an ongoing requirement to consult on Health and Safety.

Planning is underway for the next Master Joiners Conference and Excellence Awards to be held 4-6 June in Hamilton. An Inspired programme will include breakout sessions with a mix of on the business and in the business opportunities. We have added to our MJ resources and welcome our new staﬀ member Christina Jordan who joins us as Services Coordinator. With the end of the year in sight, I’d like to acknowledge all the good work done in 2019 by our Regional Secretaries and Presidents and members also from outside the executive who have taken part in promotional opportunities and contributed to federation advocacy submissions and projects on behalf of the Joinery industry. Many hands have lightened the load and there is much to be proud of. Acknowledgment also of the great job that Allison Delaney has done as Operations Manager. Allison is a real asset to our organisation and provides excellent support to the executive and leadership. She has also taken the opportunity to visit many of the regions this year and connect with members and check that our strategies and tactics align with what we’re all about. It’s been a busy year and as always it will be nice to enjoy a little bit of down time with family and friends at the beach or around the BBQ. Enjoy your summer break and the opportunity to celebrate what I trust has been a prosperous 2019 Merry Christmas Paul Ingram National President Registered Master Joiners

kiwi winners It’s good to see Kiwis winning awards. In this issue we have two of note: winner of the Kitchen of the Year in this year’s Master Joiners Awards from Modern Age Joinery in Christchurch and the winner of the International Design OfThe Year held in October 2019 in London, Davinia Sutton of Detail By Davinia Sutton with her Heaton St Kitchen. We have a good look at both these latest winning entries by two well known businesses. On a wider front we have a look at the latest available in decorative panel and a few hints of what is to come in 2020. In the handleless world of recent years it is good to see the use of handles in the kitchen is still alive. We have a look at some of the latest oﬀerings which really do catch the eye. The world of tooling and machinery are also covered in this issue. We are pleased to see a new column in the December issue from Leitz Tooling looking at tooling options, and useful tips on using various tooling in the modern factory. We also note the retirement of Australian Leitz Managing Director Chris Jones who has been with Leitz for many years and we welcome his replacement Sam Czyczelis. With the close of 2019 we can look forward to many events next year including AWISA 2020 again to be held in Sydney in early July. I am happy to say we will also have our 100th issue in September, but more about the early next year. The marketplace will be of greater interest next year as well what with international events such as Brexit and the US elections later in the year. Locally of course we will have our elections once more. A good time I would think to keep a close eye on the ball as the year unfolds. All reports still suggest another busy year despite some of the rhetoric we hear. Michael and I wish all you our readers and advertisers the very best for Christmas and a very Happy New Year. I’m sure you will ﬁnd something of interest in the Christmas issue Bob Nordgren

Laminex New Zealand

update

Empira White Having started at Laminex NZ in January, I’ve had an epic year getting to know architects and designers throughout the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay. What I love most about my role is that no two visits are the same – on one visit, I’ll be discussing Laminam installation as an exterior ﬁxture, then on my next visit I’ll be helping choose colours for a retirement village. Coming from a kitchen designer background has helped me in getting up to speed across Laminex’s diverse and beautiful portfolio of brands; and I’ve been super proud to launch our latest decors in Seratone, Caesarstone, Melteca and Laminex Formica. The Melteca launch has received an amazing reaction from customers already - with the seven new decors receiving lots of orders, especially in Waikato. So far, Classic Oak and Green Slate are the clear winners in my region. The feedback on our Laminex Formica update has also been very positive, with customers commenting on how professional we now look. I know there’s a lot of demand for ABS edging (which will be available next month) and all our merchandising assets should be updated by early 2020. We’re really pleased with the performance of new Caesarstone colour - Empira White. It has become one of our biggest sellers across Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay. Covering three Laminex branches is a big territory for me, but I’ve loved how family-orientated our branches are, and how helpful they’ve been introducing me to joiners across the regions. It’s helped a lot having experienced colleagues like Greg Jensen and Steve Morris available to support me. Feedback from joiners across my region is that 2019 has been the busiest in years for residential work - with most booked out until early 2020! Encouragingly, commercial work has also been steady. In particular – for Laminex NZ - the Hawkes Bay has been surging ahead with yearon-year growth. Looking forward to 2020 - my plan is to get out and see my customers as much as possible and continue to build strong relationships. I hope you all get some downtime over the summer months to recharge your batteries and come back refreshed for another big year with Laminex New Zealand.

SICAM focuses on developing commercial and marketing contacts between companies oﬀering products and industry visitors from around the world.

SICAM global furniture show The 11th edition of SICAM, the International Exhibition of Components, Accessories, and Semi-Finished Products for the Furniture Industry, recently held in Italy saw a significant strengthening of the numbers and value reached. The sector’s most qualified professionals from all over the world were in Pordenone for four days where over 8,000 enterprises visited the trade fair to create business for the over 600 companies exhibiting their technology and design products at the highest global level throughout the ten halls containing 16,500 square metres of stands. The internationalism of the event was extremely high yet again. 27% of companies exhibiting at the trade fair came from 32 foreign countries, while 69% of visitors were Italian and 31% arrived from abroad from 109 countries. Germany and China were the best represented among the visitors, two markets that are, in different ways, global leaders in furniture manufacturing for the different market brackets. There was also great influx from Central and Eastern European countries, above all Russia and Ukraine. There was also a strong increase in visitors from North Africa and Middle and Far Eastern countries, especially Iran. The greatest indicator of the industry’s appreciation of SICAM’s effectiveness in this regard is seen in how many companies from all over the world return here to exhibit. “This year 93% of companies returned, including top level enterprises,” explained Carlo Gobbi, the organiser of SICAM. “The quality of attendees and exhibitions always prevails at SICAM and this is the direct reason for the quality and high international attendance rate of visitors”. Everything at the trade fair is focused on developing commercial and marketing contacts between the companies offering their products at the stands and the visitors arriving from all over the world. The next edition of SICAM, the twelfth edition, will be held once more in Pordenone from 13th to 16th October 2020. 

professional development workshop another great member service for Master Joiners Professional development one day workshops are a ‘no brainer’ in a busy profession. Taking time away from work can be tricky, so Master Joiners designed a one-day workshop to hit the target of being, well price pointed, content rich and time savvy. Two workshops in Wellington and Christchurch on strengths ﬁnding, facilitated by Josh Turner, paved the way, to capture and polarise the top ﬁve strengths of all in attendance. Being able to capture in words; identifying strengths was inspiring. The workshop was opened to industry friends and everyone in attendance enjoyed the collegial opportunity to learn from each other and just ‘chew the fat’ so to speak! Master Joiners extend a warm thanks to Blum who partnered in bringing this professional development workshop to members. Joseph Eggels and Scott Ronald supported each workshop by making the introductions, providing some very useful gifts, and sharing some insight into the value Blum place on professional development. Master Joiners are currently planning next years workshop and members are invited to send content suggestions to the Mater Joiners team by emailing info@masterjoiners.co.nz

Master Joiners workshops, a great membership service, with the right fit and fantastic outcomes, delivered to the Master Joiners community by the Master Joiners Executive Committee.

You may be aware of recent publicity around the issue of Silicosis – a fatal lung disease that can aﬀect those involved in the cutting of engineered stone who do not follow industry best practice. In order to ensure that all New Zealand fabricators and stonemasons are following safe practice, a group of leading stone distributors has come together to form a cooperative industry advisory group. The New Zealand Engineered Stone Advisory Group (NZESAG) has been formed with six companies as founding members. The key priority is to create a safe working environment for stonemasons and ensure they fully understand the risks around exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RSC) that causes Silicosis.

There are three key workstreams:•

Develop Good Practice Guidelines - to be released by the end of this year.

•

Develop an RSC Management Accreditation and audit programme - to commence in February 2020 and run for 12 months.

•

Follow-up compliance auditing of those RSC accredited fabricators and stonemasons - starting in 2021.

The founding members of NZESAG are: New Zealand Panels Group; Laminex New Zealand; Smartstone New Zealand; Trendstone New Zealand; Universal Granite & Marble Ltd and Archant Ltd. 

Panel surfaces Textures and colours from nature, super real digital renditions, sustainable production and environmentally friendly options dominate contemporary decorative panel options in both commercial and residential circumstances. We look at the latest on oﬀer from several of New Zealands biggest producers and suppliers along with a few tips and products for fixing unusual options.

Increased realism the way forward The way forward - over the next 12 to 24 months - for leading supplier Laminex New Zealand will be characterised by three interrelated themes, starting with the notion of ‘Increased realism’. NZ Marketing Manager Mel Cummings explains “Texture will be important in the articulation of the visual look which will be increasingly difficult to tell from the real thing. This will be apparent in both foiled and pressed

board product used in making cabinetry for the kitchen. Product like melamine board will have a distinctive feel and look a lot closer to the real thing.” This realism will be augmented by technological changes centred around the other two themes: Durability and Sustainability. “Through more advanced manufacturing processes, we see greater stretch resistance and anti-scratch properties exhibited. The use of 1mm ABS edgetape will add to the flexibility and appearance.” Mel comments.

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 16

This realism will be augmented by technological changes centred around the other two themes, durability and sustainability. “This in turn assists making the whole process more sustainable a characteristic in tune with what end users are looking to see. For example, over 93% of the energy used to produce our particleboard

comes from renewable sources, and our MDF is classiﬁed as E zero, one of the lowest formaldehyde emitting levels. There is a move at Laminex New Zealand to more research using plant based and recycled products as well. The above elements are all part of an emerging desire by consumers to live more in a smart, healthy living environment. The next couple of years look to be exciting times for us and consumers at large.” 

taking the cue from nature The use of timber, woodgrain, marble and stone surfaces in interiors is growing exponentially, driven by a desire for more authentic and natural surfaces as the world becomes more digital. That trend has been reflected in a number of product innovations and colour refreshes carried out by the decorative product brands from NZ Panels Group – Bestwood, Prime Panels and Dezignatek. Group Marketing Manager Desiree Keown said that more natural surfaces and environmentally friendly products continue to grow in popularity as people spend more of their day in front of screens and devices, and then want to relax in an environment, that is calm and restful, and with an additional feel-good factor that comes with an environmental trustmark. With a massive improvement in clarity and photo-realism available with melamine décor there has been a large increase in patterned and woodgrain designs vs solid colours. But finish options have remained largely static. New Timberland plate finish That all changed in June with the release of a new Timberland plate finish from Bestwood and Prime Panels which can go across all its melamine colours and even looks stunning on solid colours such as black. It provides a deeply textured and realistic timber structure. “When combined with woodgrain decors, they are virtually indistinguishable from timber veneer”, says Desiree. “With a heavily textured surface and contrast between gloss and matt, the grain appears as if it has incredible depth – a level of realism that wasn’t previously possible with melamine.” Dezignatek has also introduced more textured woodgrain designs into its thermoform range over the past 18 months, with options ranging from light Scandi-style designs to darkly textured oaks. Natural veneer and a new tree tracking innovation You can’t get more natural than timber veneer and the offering from Prime Panels and Bestwood is the most comprehensive on the market. With around 50 different species/cuts available, every project combines a mix

of craft and technology as it laid up to customer’s specifications and custom-pressed. A series of training videos (available via the veneer section on the Prime Panels and Bestwood websites + Youtube) have been produced as a handy training resource for joiners and designers and are backed with print catalogues that help guide veneer selection. In what is believed to be a worldfirst innovation for veneer, the company launched Track my Tree for its NZ native veneers, proving a documented chain of custody from the forest to the factory ﬂoor complete with the ability to view the tree the veneer was cut from, its location and permit. A unique offering from Prime Panels is Prime Art Veneer – a heavily textured American White Oak in a planked layup that can be selected with an additional bandsawn finish and knots for extra interest.

Prime Stone refreshes its range – naturally … When it comes to benchtop surfaces, the natural marble and stone inspired designs are the top sellers. Prime Stone has just released six new designs into its Elements and Babylon Collections which include three veined marble options and three softly-patterned designs. All of them have been chosen to pair beautifully with woodgrain decors. A new catalogue and sample folder have been released to support the launch. The Prime Laminate range also has woodgrain, marble and stone designs that rank among its top sellers. A distinct advantage is its ability to provide pressed laminate panels in 2400 x 1200 format to make it more cost-eﬀective for designers to use HPL for vertical cabinetry. Many of these come with a matched edge tape. 

#allaboutthetexture The texture of our Lookcrete® is like that of a hand-trowelled concrete surface–full of character and love. With greys so popular, the texture in colour and feel of Lookcrete® softens the look and creates something quite diﬀerent: modern and unique. Concrete kitchen – why not?

With the Rugby World Cup done & dusted, there’s a thing or two we can learn from it in the world of kitchen design. For years, everyone thought that BLACK was the best, and then they thought maybe WHITE was onto a winner again. But, in reality, something diﬀerent is sneaking through, unexpected. Something with more character and grit. Here, we take a look at these products. Character. Grit. Design. Timbalook ® has been growing from strength to strength, and it’s no wonder! With a natural, deep veneer look and feel, but the advantage of no colour variation between batches like you have with veneer, Timbalook® is easy to work with. Edged with our special Invisedge ® clashing, there’s a seamless join where the edgetape meets the board. The edgetape is textured to match the Timbalook® board, which gives a consistent look across the design. As no

Lookcrete® and Timbalook® both come with a sheet size of 2800 x1 830 – the design opportunities are endless!

Lookcrete® and Timbalook® can work well in the same space.

oiling/lacquering is involved, colour consistency is just that: consistent. Also, due to the hard melamine surface, Timbalook® won’t scratch or mark easily like a natural product. Considering it’s also cheaper than a veneer – what could be better? Imported from Europe, this product is like no other on the market in NZ: with a synchronized texture, Timbalook® feels as good as it looks!

Lookcrete® might not be for the faint of heart, but is definitely something bold, different and unique! It is loved for its industrial, rustic, naturally diﬀerent look. You might ask – but where would you use concrete in kitchen design? Lookcrete ® has been used for entire kitchens, wall panelling, bathroom and laundry cabinetry, commercial areas and so much more – where will you use it next?

Thank you: It’s been a busy year here at Sage Doors - we’re excited to sign oﬀ this 2019, and look forward to seeing what 2020 has in store for us!

Slick and Sophisticated NZ Master Joiners Awards 2019 - Best Kitchen - Modern Age Kitchens & Joinery This year’s Best Kitchen Award sponsored by Blum NZ was won by Grant and Graham Woodham of Christchurch based Modern Age Kitchens & Joinery. “The clients were building a new home at Akaroa just south of Christchurch and were looking for a slick and sophisticated kitchen with a working pantry with a boiling water tap and drinks space and a comfortable table height seating area. The home was a modern, simple form with a dark exterior” explains Grant. “The shape of the kitchen was dictated by the space available and the location of the large sliding doors leading out to east and west

Reduced costs with greater process eﬃciency

Leitz Marathon high performance coatings With raw materials running short worldwide and material costs increasing dramatically, we need new ideas. Leitz’s solution is high performance coating. Leitz invested in a coating centre at their German headquarters to develop coatings speciﬁcally for applications in the woodworking industry to be in the position to give customers the best possible solutions for their machining processes. The beneﬁts of high performance coatings are longer lasting high cut quality and performance times 3 to 6 times that of uncoated cutting edges.

edge life time signiﬁcantly. The cutting test results are promising. Coated tungsten edges show approximately a quarter of the wear of uncoated tungsten carbide. The increase in performance time depends on the application and the customers’ quality demands. In many cases a doubling of performance time is realistic.

A new Leitz innovation was coated tungsten carbide tools. New nanostructured layers speciﬁcally designed to meet the demands of the wood processing industry have a hardness over 4000 HV and increase the cutting

Leitz has come closer to its vision to establish a complete program of coated tools for solid wood processing. The current product range of coated tools includes routers, drills, planer heads, ﬁnger joint cutters, knives and blanks.

The planing and profiling sector - Hydro and TurboPlan planer heads to pre and finish planing at high feed speeds up to 360 m/ min, HL solid profile cutter heads for panels, finger joint cutters and glue joint cutter heads and the hydro finger jointing cutter head TurboHawk - with circular knives - for horizontal joints. The Marathon coating increases the performance times of HS versions by a factor of 4. With routers, specifically spiral roughing / finishing routers for sizing and grooving to a roughing / finishing quality standard are notable. These give high performance times in solid wood and gluelam. Marathon spiral boring bits used to bore deep holes without intermediate clearance steps are suitable for through holes and dowel holes in solid timber constructions. The Marathon

coating again gives increased performance times and the extra long centre point of the boring bit allows perfect positioning. With planing knives and profile blanks, Leitz presents a comprehensive program of coated planer knives, turnblade planer knives and profile blanks. Target sectors for the Leitz coating program are solid wood users: sawmills, planing mills, timber construction, staircase, window and doors, mouldings, par-quet flooring and furniture production.

Tooling Tips

CNC machining of compact laminate There are basically two diﬀerent types of compact laminate: a)

made of Cellulose fiber saturated with resin without any ﬁber orientation

b) made of paper sheets saturated with resin, fiber orientated material with differences in longitudinal and lateral machining (along & across the grain) Tungsten Carbide and Diamond tipped tools can both achieve good cutting quality if the working parameters of the machine are set properly. Diamond tipped tools feature much longer edge life, (the

factor depends mainly on the type of material, density and numerous other variables). We advise diamond tipped tools be cleaned to remove resin buildup as this reduces edge life and performance of the tool. Segmented diamond tipped tools can leave reference lines in the finish, we recommend straight edges without tip-overlapping to achieve a smooth reference free ﬁnish. Due to the high cutting forces involved when cutting compact laminate secure clamping of the material is extremely important, cutting pressure may cause the

material to vibrate or move. Movement can result in tool damage or breakage. If vacuum clamping is not suﬃcient, custom made clamping jigs must be used to ensure that the work piece does not move during the machining process. The optimum machine parameter settings depend on the type & manufacturing method of the Compact Laminate.

NOTE Big and clean chips are a sign of proper machine settings Small chips or dust indicate that the tool does not cut properly. This results in poor quality of cut and short life time of the tool!

Leitz Recommendations: • Pre-cutting with solid tungsten carbide roughing ﬁnisher specially designed for use on high wear materials. • Finish pass with diamond tipped router cutter with full length tips.

What are some checks I can do on my CNC without having the machine supplier visit me? Here are 4 simple checks that you can perform that will give a good indication of whether further action needs to be taken. CHECK 1. The first area to examine is almost always the tool clamping system. Collets need to be in perfect condition and do need to be replaced on a regular basis (approx 500 working hours). Collets are not merely devices to hold the tools during cutting, but are the primary means of aligning router bits along a perfect centerline. Collets are precision ground from spring steel. Along with withstanding high rotation speeds, they are required to tolerate repeated heating and cooling during operation. This upsets the ‘temper’ of the collet steel and can cause its grip to become uneven. Any out-ofround condition at all will cause multi-fluted tools to remove differing amounts of material with each cutting edge. When this occurs it is impossible to form a smooth ﬁnish across a machined surface. Single edge tools will also show degraded cutting characteristics and will be extremely sensitive to feed rate fluctuations due to the constantly changing chipload present with an out-of-round tool. With all machines, especially CNC machines, cleanliness is paramount. When you’re dealing with machine tapers, even the smallest amount of dust & grime can cause your machine to not run 100% accurately. This means your cutters don’t last as long, your ﬁnish isn’t as good, your machine becomes progressively noisier and your spindle bearings will bow out prematurely – expensive!

Dust & dirt attracts moisture which in turn creates corrosion, surface rust and causes roughening which accelerates the above issue.In short, a simple maintenance schedule will save a lot of long-term headaches.

showing signs of wear and there will be backlash present in the system. This can lead to unsteady movements particularly during acceleration and deceleration that will show up as poor ﬁnishes on the part.

All mating surfaces from interface taper through to the collet clamping nut need to be cleaned every shift and examined for wear indications. Broken shanks on tools or severe crashes should always be reason for a collet replacement. Collets should be considered perishable tooling just as the cutting tools are and replaced on a regular basis. Clean collets with a proper collet brush – not compressed air.

CHECK 4. A final check that can be an effective demonstration of machine condition is to make a series of cuts at various locations on the vacuum table. Straight cuts along each axis, a diagonal cut across both the X and Y-axis, and a large diameter and small diameter circular cutout can provide a very good indication of how smoothly the table and head are traveling as well as how well the axes are performing in

Regular evaluations of the concentricity of the clamping system should be performed with a dial indicator and plug gage or cylindrical round. Remember to take multiple concentricity readings and to disassemble and reassemble the chuck between each reading. This will ensure an accurate determination of repeatability and accuracy. CHECK 2. When the colleting system is in good condition, the next area for evaluation is the spindle and drive systems. There should be no play within the spindle bearings and the spindle mount should be solid to the back plate. Any movement here should be cause for concern and may require remounting of the spindle or a rebuild of the bearing packs. CHECK 3. Check the axis movement. A quick check is to turn the drive motors on and check for play. There should be no room for movement in any of the axes when the servos are engaged. If there is any play, most likely the nuts on the ball screws are

simultaneous movement. If any of these cuts appear signiﬁcantly worse than the others, a more detailed examination of the involved axes is required. Making these cuts at various locations on the table will allow the operator to see if there are problems at the extreme ends of the travel distances or if one particular portion of the ball screws or ways has been worn out due to repeated use. supplied by Tungsten & Tool

dust-free sanding Seearco Industrial Abrasives together with Mirka are dedicated to a dust-free workplace Mirka is the renowned pioneer of dust-free sanding solutions, and have succeeded in what many others have attempted to do. Mirka is the original developer of dust-free sanding, which has since become an industry standard.

... nothing is more important than your health. Remember work place safety.

Mirka’s dust-free solution is the combination of an ergonomic power tool and a completely symmetrical net sanding disc called Abranet together with an eﬃcient dust extractor. Abranet contains thousands of holes, which means the maximum distance between each sanding particle and the closest dust extraction hole is no more than 0.5 mm. Since dust is continuously vacuumed out by the extractor, sanding is virtually dust-free. This contributes to a clean and healthy working environment, reducing

the dust load from dangerous particles while improving work efficiency and motivation. By consistently keeping the abrasive and the sanding surface dust-free, the lifespan of the abrasive is extended, and problems such as dust pill formation and clogging are prevented. The bottom line is that dust-free sanding isn’t just another costly investment. It is a matter of productivity, proﬁtability and business development, with an emphasis on health and safety.

Occupational exposure to dust Exposure to dust poses many hazards to the health and safety of workers. Dust in the workplace may also contaminate or reduce the quality of products and affect worksite productivity. Workers repeatedly exposed to dust take it home on their work clothes, hair and skin to potentially reach their loved ones. But it’s all preventable. The best way to reduce the risk of dust exposure is to go directly to the source and eliminate it. Healthy employees who work in a clean and ergonomic environment are more likely to do their job in an efficient way. Healthy employees require fewer days off, which saves companies money.

forty one years a market leader It has been a while since JOINERS Magazine last had a good look at Viking 1978 Ltd, extraction specialists and manufacturing engineers based in the Auckland suburb of Te Atatu South. Bob Nordgren recently sat down with Viking’s Ross Metcalf for an update. Viking 1978 Ltd, established some 41 years ago and owned and operated by Lester Smith, is the largest industrial extraction and ﬁltration equipment manufacturer in New Zealand. They started out as a comprehensive sheet metal fabrication workshop in Kelston, then Avondale and then to their current location in Te Atatu South and developed through experience and knowledge toward custom made and designed extraction systems and beyond. The process followed at Viking best explains how they have developed over the years.

Viking are involved in a wide variety of industry sectors, dealing with dust and fume extraction in all its forms.

using 20 and 40 foot containers, even timber heat treatment plant packages.

“Everything for us starts with our sales and design team here in our head oﬃce” explains Ross. “Once we have seen the client and ascertained what they are looking for and seen the site in most cases (that could be anywhere in New Zealand) our three man design team gets to work to put together a presentation that includes a proposal with designs offering the best manufacturing processes, costings and a time frame.” Who do you do work for these days? “In essence anyone large or small. We have the reputation, experience and infrastructure to be able to do this.” Ross points out

clients do too.” says Ross. In touring their factory it becomes quickly apparent that the business these days deals with many industry sectors and not just the joinery/cabinetry, furniture and kitchen manufacturing sectors.

New Zealand made The key for Viking is that they manufacture and assemble all their work here in New Zealand from their Auckland factory site. “Our raw materials come from regular local suppliers and all our engineering processes are made to industry standards. All structural work is blasted and painted, galvanised or powdercoated locally as well. We place great store in the notion of totally New Zealand made and I think our

Wide industry scope “We in fact have always been involved in a wide variety of industry sectors that require what we do: dealing with dust and fume extraction in all its forms.” Ross explains. “As we have grown, we have diversiﬁed at the same time to include all industry sectors from growers to manufacturers from not only dust and particle extraction but also the food and metal industries. We even work in the marine industry making

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 38

boats and marine components using stainless steel and alloy fabrication processes.” Within the last few years the factory site in McLeod St has grown: two adjacent buildings have been purchased with one already housing the marine operation. With some 20,000 square feet the business has room to expand further. What immediately strikes you is the variety of manufacturing processes going on at any one time in the factory: everything from custom made ducting to baghouse componentry, light to heavy reverse pulse cartridge dust collection technology, cyclones and a wide variety of spray booths from purpose built to stand alone plug and play systems made

As time has gone by Viking has acquired the latest 3D CAD software for design work, the latest in CNC technology using plasma, CNC press brakes, guillotines, rolling machines and fabrication bays with next year seeing the investment in a laser cutting machine. “Not a lot of people know we also are able to not only design and make but also to project manage from start to finish.” adds Ross.” All this is underscored by the desire to be seen as innovative, meeting the needs and challenges provided by different clients. And we are good at it. A good example are the reverse pulse cartridge booth systems created for the stone and engineered stone cutting industry. Compliance to industry standards are also an underlying logic to everything Viking does.” People All this industriousness is underlined by the people who run the business and the factory who make it all work. “We have grown to some twenty staff including management, administration and those on the floor” says Ross.

“We have been a great believer in bringing new people in as older ones move on. There are apprentices here all the time (currently three), being trained up in a well-rounded sense. They spend time in the factory yes but also out in the field learning how to install what we manufacture. They get to see all sorts of industries from timber mills and food processing plants, to marine and aviation and various manufacturing factories, airports and even Rocketlab. Being well rounded makes for a more valuable staff member who we expect becomes more invested in his work accordingly.” Warranties Once the work is commissioned (fully installed and operating) that is not the end of it. “We offer a standard twelve month warranty on all parts but our involvement and standing by what we make goes on a lot longer than that” explains Ross. “There are many examples we can allude to of clients we have had coming back to us time and again for further jobs they want done. I think being New Zealand made and assembled indeed counts for something.” I have to say the feel of the place exudes an interesting combination of old and new: good craftsmanship with smooth flow rates, with the correct transitions on the one hand and innovative solution on the other from the design team down to the factory floor. New technologies have not been left behind either: the new space needed for their proposed laser cutting operation next year has been eyed up already. Bob Nordgren

International Design of the Year Christchurch designer Davinia Sutton recently won the International Design of the Year Award at the UK Designer Kitchen and Bathroom Awards in London. She talks us through her winning design. Our clients wanted a kitchen design that was uncluttered, a chic smooth space with an urban edge, using hardy, bold materials. They also requested an area that was separate from the main body of the kitchen, “to make lots of mess” whilst entertaining, as well as providing ample storage.

The front zone serves the day to day needs of a functional kitchen – a prep and cooking zone is position to the front island, to allow interaction and connection to the main pavillion, which services an outdoor barbecue courtyard and the adjacent family/ dining rooms.

As the main feature of an architecturally designed home, this kitchen is situated in the main living pavillion, with access to dual interior and exterior entertaining areas.

The wash zone is placed to the mid-section wall, allowing clean up and prep to be slightly removed from focus. The rear walk in pantry provides overﬂow space along with additional prep zones, appliances and valuable storage.

As the kitchen was to be on display and hold a strong presence within the pavillion, it had to be strong in form, ﬂow eﬀortlessly within the space, and retain an open, clean lined aesthetic. Formed around the concept of a ‘front and rear kitchen’, it is created around a central element of a mid-stain veneer wall linking the two zones, intercepted with a layered island in the foreground of the space.

A striking bold palette of ¼ cut American white oak veneer ﬁnished with a matt warm stain, contrasted by Matt Black Fenix Ply doors and Natural honed textured black granite bench surfaces, was chosen to accentuate the strong architectural form of the cedar clad interior and boldness of volume within the space.

use of down lighting and task LED ribbon. This approach helps deliver a sense of grand stature in the steel rangehood with its LED lighting.

A sharp contrasting change of level enhanced by a crisp ‘Pure White’ Caesarstone bench was used to emphasise the seating space joinery element to the front of the main island and central cook zone. The stained veneered façade resting beneath blends with the rear kitchen joinery, to enhance a sense of hierarchy for the front and rear zones. Integrated appliances were carefully selected to enhance the streamlined approach to the detailing of the kitchen. Lighting was also kept practical and restrained, with the prominent

Play on detail such as mitred corners, layering of form, contrast of scale and texture, and the striking feature of the black custom-made raw steel rangehood helps to accentuate the modern approach of this kitchen, whilst reinforcing a solid form which is reﬂective of the overall feel of the architecture. Through the interesting play of form and mix of materials, a kitchen with the desired boldness is achieved. The ﬁnal result is a design that is uncluttered, which has an urban edge, and points its focus towards a large entertaining area. It has dual consideration for the architecture and the owners’ mix of contemporary lifestyle and surrounds. 

Davinia Sutton the designer Davinia’s recent win in the UK based Designer Kitchen & Bathroom Awards in London with her Heaton St Kitchen is just the latest in what has been a stellar career to date. Her background makes for interesting reading as well. Describing herself as a ‘design geek’ she started off by gaining a Diploma in Interior Design back in 1999 which she then cross credited (the first to do so) into a design degree at CPIT followed by a further two years of design study before gaining a BA in Spatial Design in 2001. With work thin on the ground her first break came working at Ingrid Geldof Design. “This was a really good experience for me. It led to meeting and networking with other designers and architects. My time with Ingrid was enviable in my career journey. Here I really cut my teeth and had a steep learning curve at the same time.” Three years later it was time to broaden her career and start a new adventure. Along with fellow designer John Gaynor she launched InDesign Architecture Ltd in 2004. With this venture she set a benchmark, gained credibility in the industry with several published works, a few national awards and a growing list of clientele. In 2009 she launched Detail by Davinia Sutton and has never looked back since. Her design practice, based in Merivale, Christchurch, is a high end bespoke interior architecture business with projects across New Zealand and Australia specialising in the ‘hard spaces in the home’ as she puts it: kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, dressing rooms, media rooms and study areas to name a few. She has gathered some seventy three awards since 2007 including four on the international stage.

Davinia’s experience has a great significance in her role as key designer and director of a business with six staff and still growing. She believes that engaging a designer is an investment and that her studio’s success has been achieved through their collective ability to listen to their client’s needs.

innovation in traditional machinery With over 60 years’ experience in machine construction, Felder Group have built their legendary reputation with a focus on both tradition and innovation, and nowhere is this better demonstrated than in their range of traditional machinery. Workshops around New Zealand have embraced Felder’s range, from the premium Format-4 panel saws to the sturdy Hammer planer thicknessers. A mixture of strong build-quality, finesse and a heap of options to suit all manner of materials and production requirements, Felder Group machines represent the finest of European manufacturing and precision. Felder are also renowned for their innovation, and as you look across their range it’s easy to see how they got such a reputation. Silent-Power cutterblocks Felder have taken the spiral block to a new level of performance. It’s so good Jacks order this ‘option’ as standard on machines for New Zealand, because everyone wants it. A spiral block gives an excellent finish. The continuous pulling cut of the spiral block ensures outstanding results even in hard or knotty timber. What’s more the Tungsten-Carbide cutters provide excellent value, each having four precise cutting edges and offering up to twenty times the useable life of a standard HSS blade. The most noticeable difference over other blocks is noise reduction. Felder claim a proven reduction of at least 50% over a traditional block, meaning a vast improvement for anyone operating the machine. Another benefit of Felder’s Silent-POWER block is a reduced chip size. This means not only are the chips less likely to get caught underneath the blades and damage the surface of the timber, but the optimised extraction hood more effectively removes them. And being smaller they settle better in the extraction bin, meaning considerably more compact dust bags!

Innovation from Felder, left to right: SilentPower cutterblock; X-Roll gliding table; Easy-Glide tilt segement.

X-Roll sliding table Felder’s precision guiding system for their sliding tables, tables that take maximum loads while maintaining smooth and accurate movement. Named after the ‘X’ shaped conﬁguration of the roller bearings, Felder have reworked a crucial element of the panel saw to ensure the optimal distribution of workpiece weight: as a result, the X-Roll system avoids wear, eliminates maintenance and maintains accuracy over the lifetime of the saw. Durability is at the heart of the X-roll system. With no single point of contact between the bearing and the guiding track then there’s no point-load – and no opportunity for any groove to wear into the guide track. Covered guided tracks and a ‘12 fold wiper system’ involving 4 wiping

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 48

brushes and 8 silicon wipers mean the tracks are kept clean and the sliding table maintenance-free. X-Roll is standard on Felder and Format-4 saws, spindle moulders and combination machines, and comes with a 10 year factory guarantee. Easy-Glide tilt segment Felder have solved the problem of wear occurring in the guides where lubrication gets dirty and eventually abrasive, leading to increased maintenance, growing inaccuracy and unwieldy movement. Their ‘Easy-Glide’ removes the source of the problem: lubrication. Instead, a highly durable synthetic material sits within the guides in the double-trunion system, giving play-free pivoting and removing

cast-iron on cast-iron contact. With maximum load-bearing capacity this high-grade material (well proven in the aeronautics industry) is totally maintenance free, and is unaﬀected by dust, providing smooth operation and precision movement over the long term. A six-year guarantee applies to Felder and Format-4 machines with this feature.

Format-4 Kappa 590 at heart of Cut N Clash ribbed tables with total length of 2700mm, it also has an innovative design on the fence allowing the machine to be positioned directly against a wall without restricting the planing width.

Vincent Singh’s work at Cut N Clash is hugely varied – from solid timber tops, to kitchen cabinets, to bespoke specialist school furniture and decorative spaces - no job is the same. As a result, Vincent’s machinery needs to be adaptable, fast to set up and retool, and produce a top quality result no matter what material is being processed. Vincent Singh with his Felder Format-4, stacked with features.

At the heart of the Cut N Clash workshop is Felder Group’s ﬂagship panel saw – a Format-4 Kappa 590. As well as featuring Felder Group’s renowned quality and innovations such as the X-Roll sliding table and EasyGlide, the Kappa 590 is stacked with features. These include a large 15” touchscreen with graphical user interface, USB and network connectivity, and a multitude of optional programmes including rabbets, grooving, notching, angle cuts, oblique cuts and mitres. There’s double pivoting of the

saw blade – up to 46 degrees in both directions. A 550mm blade capacity provides a 202mm cutting height, and all axes of the machine are adjustable directly from the touchscreen. “It’s a brilliant saw” says Vincent. “I’m expecting this to be the last saw I ever buy. It’s smooth, fast, it’s never even come close to stalling in a rip, and it’s so easy to use. Little things such as the fast stepping to within 50mm of the blade, the three digital readouts

– including for angles – on the crosscut table, and the heaps of features I’m not even using yet. It’s surpassing my expectations.” As well as his Format-4 saw, Vincent has two more machines from Felder Group. Felder’s D963 thicknesser is a powerhouse of performance and precision, cutting up to 630mm wide, with simple controls, programmable positioning and digital height setting. Beside that Vincent has an A951L planer: with heavy,

Both machines feature Felder’s renowned Silent-Power spiral cutterblock, giving excellent results across all wood types, and usable blade life up to 20 times longer than usual blades. Vincent faces the usual problem associated with the Silent-Power block: “The machines are so quiet!” he says. “I can’t hear them. It’s incredible how quiet they are – they’re totally drowned out by the extraction system.” Vincent’s got plenty of variety in his upcoming schedule, and that’s how he likes it. There’s no doubt that both he and his Felder Group machines will be busy. 

SCM Technology - UK furniture

Neville Johnson achieves record production outputs Thanks to SCM technologies UK furniture manufacturer Neville Johnson achieved record production outputs never seen before. A year on since the commissioning of the Stefani XDs at Neville Johnson, factory manager Mick Coulthard is convinced he made the right decision. "It was a huge wrench for us to move away from German machines but the build quality, the accuracy, the ease of use and the reliability of both Stefanis - and the service we received from SCM - have proved to be exceptional. Before we made our decision, we also saw other SCM clients in the UK whose machines were very close to what we wanted. We point-blank asked them what the service was like. They pretty

much said the same. SCM has done everything they promised. I can't fault them". Over the last 30 years, Neville Johnson has built an enviable reputation for manufacturing high quality, bespoke offices, bedrooms and lounge furniture. Offering discerning clients a wide choice of designs, sizes and colours in bespoke layouts that have been tailored to ﬁt even the most awkward of spaces perfectly is a challenge few manufacturers would relish, especially not with any regularity - but at Neville Johnson, it's the norm. Add exacting quality standards to the mix and it's not hard to imagine the scale of the nightmare Mick Coulthard faced when his two 10-years-old edgebanders started showing their age.

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 50

With every job different, Neville Johnson's Trafford Park factory is dedicated to nest-based manufacturing. Three nesting CNCs, all commissioned within the last three years, feed two edgebanders with individually sized panels ranging from large doors to small components. When the company took the decision to replace the two edgebanders with the latest technology, Mick had a clear idea of what was needed: "We wanted to get rid of the bottleneck that all edgebanders create in panel manufacturing. We also wanted to eliminate or reduce changeover times and increase flexibility". At the same time, knowing the impact machine changes have on production, Mick was adamant the replacements would have

to be installed back to back so production could continue. Installation, commissioning and training would have to take place after Easter rush but before the 2018 summer holidays. And if that wasn't enough, he had one further non-negotiable that narrowed the field still further: "Reliability is a big thing for us. We have to have absolute faith in the companies we deal with. We needed to be convinced we could get the speciﬁcation we needed in a reliable machine that we could future-proof, but also that when things go wrong the spares backup was in place, we could get fast delivery and the company we were working with had the number of engineers on the ground to deal with it fast." (continued over page)

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 51

needed the machines in after Easter but before the summer holidays. We cleared the factory out and decommissioned one of our machines. SCM moved one machine out as the next was being craned oﬀ in the yard made everything very simple".

(continued from previous page)

Mick approached two companies and in a sea change that, saw the factory shift away from German machines to Italian technology, Neville Johnson ordered two new Stefani XDs from SCM Group (UK) Ltd. And almost 12 months down the line, with all the boxes on his wishlist ticked, Mick is convinced the company has made the right choice: "We have been able to achieve a reduction in overtime to an acceptable, sustainable level while achieving record production months prior to Christmas. Since the Stefanis were commissioned, we have achieved record production outputs that the factory has never seen before without increasing overtime and that's all down to getting the panels out of the edgebanders." Before deciding on the Stefanis, Mick made two visits to SCM in Italy to convince himself that the engineering of the frame, the chain and major components really were on a par with the best of German build quality and to refine a specification and to check out the backup available from SCM. "We wanted to be 100% sure of the backup systems, the spare part warehousing and all the dedicated process SCM offered", he said. "We had to have confidence that they could deliver a service throughout the machine's life, with spare parts, warranty, backup engineers, as well as a machine that did the job". "What SCM has out there is incredible. You have to see it. We went out the first time to go through our specification and see what was available. Having seen the machines, with help from the engineers at Stefani, we respecified a couple of features and decided what our machines needed to have built in so they would see us through the next ten years. Originally, we looked at EVA and PUR units but when we saw the finish with the EVA, we realised we didn't need PUR. The standard was more than acceptable for the products we wanted to produce. The machines have been prearranged for PUR and AirFusion+ so if the market changes we just need a plug-in module to be up and running".

Stefani XD with boomerang return system.

The two Stefani XD machines, each equipped with a panel return system, are relatively straightforward in specification and more than meet the process time Mick laid down in his first meeting with Stefani's engineers. Importantly, they also provide the fast changeover and the flexibility Neville Johnson needed. There are some neat features, like a ceramic heating lamp after the premilling unit that warms the panel to the right temperature before the edgeband is applied - ideal for situations where the panels are sized, then left overnight before edging, because there's no risk of glue shock - and Mick specified the automatic pressure roller. The touch of a button is all it takes to switch from a 2mm thick edge to a 0.4mm edge (for example). Mick also wanted a grooving unit to automate the production of Neville Johnson's characteristic V-grooved solid edge lipping. Both Stefanis are equipped with nesting shoes on the trim and scrape that ride over any drillings or routed slots in the board to give a flawless edge, and there are three spraying units for anti-adhesive, high gloss and delicate edges.

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 52

In the original specification, the LCD touch screen was Stefani's 17" TFT controller. Mick was delighted that, on delivery, Stefani had provided both edgebanders with the very latest 21" Eye-M touchscreen controller. They were also equipped with Teamviewer© software for remote diagnostic control of the machine via the Internet as well as data backup and installation upgrades. Mick can't speak highly enough about the service he has received from SCM: "They made the whole process really easy and seeing the factories and meeting the Italians to discuss and refine the specification gave us a lot of confidence. Everyone was very efficient, very open and I really like the flexible mentality of the Italians - they were prepared to go that extra yeard and took nothing for granted. There was no backwards-forwards, backwardsforwards with prices. We agreed on the specification, and SCM delivered on time and on budget". "The installation process was very, very quick and very smooth. We had a very tight window for installation and training. We

Everything about the programming of the Stefani XD is very straightforward. It's easy to recall programs, change to different edging configurations, different panel thicknesses, different substrates. Even so, there's always a bit of a barrier for operators when they have to change from a machine they have become familiar with over many years. "A new system always makes people feel uneasy." commented Mick, "but we'd pretty much conquered that within the first two weeks from installation. The simplicity of this machine makes that possible. Both machines were in full production by the end of week four. "We had a week's training for each machine. We staggered this because we took one machine out while still running the old one. After day three, the machine was available, so we moved shift patterns around to release operators for a week's training with SCM's Jon Wilson. The first three or four days was training, then we started running full orders through, but without time pressures so they had a chance to change and reset things and learn new features with an engineer at their side. That was replicated when the second machine came in. The training we received was all very thorough. Since then, Jon's only been back once. Melvyn Earle UK Furniture Journal

Stefani Cell E Robot Loop - “batch 1” production experience at its simplest.

SCM ‘batch 1’ flexible edgebanding systems Industrial edgebanding is increasingly articulated, demanding and connected. Orders are continually changing, modularity is a given and the number of processes is on the increase. SCM's new flexible "batch 1" edgebanding systems fully interpret and meet the demands for efficiency, integration and processing customisation made by the current market. These systems guarantee an increasingly more sophisticated productivity thanks to the integration of the edgebanding machine in cells and plants fitted with rollers, panel return devices, automatic loading and unloading systems, assisted by robots and fitted with IoT sensors to control the machine functions in an instant. Equally, they ensure unique machining accuracy and quality on any kind of panel, even the most delicate ones and more complex materials, thanks to a new "Round 2 Servo rounding unit" and “RT-X grinding unit” and the latest optimised devices for a perfect line of glue. Let's take a closer look at these new "batch 1" flexible edgebanding systems.

Stefani Cell H Stefani cell H is the new edgebanding cell and square-edging cell fitted with an automatic panel feeder system, designed to guarantee both production volumes at industrial level as well as a maximum diversification of the production batch. Stefani cell H allows for 100% efficient machining of components for furniture items for every part of the home (kitchens, living rooms, sleeping areas, bathrooms, wardrobes) with considerable advantages. • Instant production and financially advantageous both for batches with single panels as well as for standard stacks, without the need for those all too regular production stops to change a format, thickness, ornamentation and gluing quality during a machining shift. • No errors and a guarantee the panels will always be fed in the right direction, thanks to SIDE FINDER technology which, via a display in the operator's area, shows how to position the panel so that it receives the best machining possible. • Instant availability, even on mobile devices, of the machin-

ing information relating to each single panel, wherever it is in the cycle, thanks to the continuous tracking provided by the supervision software. • Optimisation of the panel flows and movements which are managed and synchronised with the company network data: this allows you to choose the best machining quality, gluing and tool change flexibility always within a limited space and with a single operator, thereby considerably optimising production costs. Stefani Cell E Stefani cell E is the new synthesis in "entry level" flexible edgebanding cells that combine the advantages of a customised production and large volumes with a compact overall design and, above all at an accessible investment. The Stefani cell E can be configured for complete automatic management of the panel loading/unloading work. • Numerical control high technology in line with future market scenarios. Type, colour, edge thickness, position and mortise depth, handling of the protective film and panel di-

mensions: the highly versatile Stefani cell E allows you to continually feed in and change all these parameters as part of the production flow without it being interrupted. • Simple, integrated and versatile: the multiple configurations available (“reloop with robot" or "reloop with motorised belts") mean all specific needs in terms of production and machining are met. Feeder, robot or additional movements can be combined to offer maximum flexibility. • Whether in self-learning mode, with Bar Code/QR code or with supervisor, Stefani cell E is standard programmed for any level of logical and physical integration one sets. • New automation to speed up business: the new "Pickback" bridge system for the automatic return of the panels guarantees simple, “just in time” production management. This way, the operator can focus solely on feeding the panels back into the edgebander, as simply and ergonomically as possible. 

New robot saws from HOMAG automation with the versatility of manual operation At LIGNA 2019, the HOMAG panel dividing specialists opened a new chapter in the history of panel cutting. The main character this time: the new SAWTEQ B-300 flexTec. This robot saw combines the advantages of manual cutting processes with those of autonomous panel division dealt with by a robot. A concept that met with great interest among visitors to LIGNA. Further highlights at the Hanover fair included a fully equipped SAWTEQ B-300 saw with storage system integration and intelliGuide – the first assistance system to react to the actions of the operator. Automatically eﬃcient. Manually versatile. SAWTEQ B-300 flexTec and SAWTEQ B-400 flexTec What makes this robot saw and the similarly designed SAWTEQ B-400 ﬂexTec so special? Both can be used in either manual or robot mode. These two new developments can be operated manually in the same way as any other panel dividing saw – for example, for cutting books or thin panels, or for processing special materials. The new saws can be equipped with virtually everything a joiner could wish for – from the operator assistance system intelliGuide basic and Power Concept to grooving, cut-outs, stress elimination cuts and much more. This makes these new saws as versatile as required for the varied tasks of a joiner. At the same time, operators can use both saws to complete single-panel cutting jobs fully automatically for longer periods – thanks to the integrated robot. An absolute novelty: ergonomic, time-saving and material-friendly. Great performance with small batches Visitors to the fair were able to see the performance of the new saw concept for themselves. Live shows demonstrated that, regardless of the cutting pattern, the robot knows what it has to

do. It feeds a panel to the saw for the rip cuts to be performed. Then, it turns the strips and feeds them to the saw again, so that all the cross cuts and recuts can be completed. The ﬁnished parts are automatically labeled and then stacked on pallets by the robot. A number of destacking stations are available to the saw, depending on job type and selected destacking logic. The robot uses highly intelligent software with specially developed algorithms. It uses the destacking stations methodically and creates stable stacks. At LIGNA, HOMAG demonstrated a concept for continuing with fully automated processes after cutting. The loaded pallets were collected by HOMAG TRANSBOTs – driverless transport systems – and taken to the next processing station. What was shown was a fully interlinked, highly eﬃcient single-panel cutting process with minimum space requirements. Double bill premiere: intelligent tool and material management – with the new HOMAG toolManager and materialManager apps HOMAG Panel Dividing is striving to simplify the work of

the machine operator and to create error-free, efficient processes. HOMAG engineers have taken a big step towards achieving this aim with not just one but two new apps, which were shown for the ﬁrst time at LIGNA. HOMAG toolManager: All tools. With all data. In one app. With toolManager, HOMAG for the ﬁrst time presented an app for intelligent tool management in Hanover. What is the idea behind it? Customers should soon be able to manage all the tools in their company in toolManager, clearly and easily. It will then be possible to retrieve tool data easily and transfer it directly to a production machine. This is already possible for saw blades for panel cutting. Many tapio partners have already provided the data for their saw blades. Details stored include, for example, saw blade type, diameter, blade plate thickness, recommended speeds, material restrictions and many more. The toolManager app accesses this data. Information on saw blades that are supplied by manufacturers not yet connected to tapio can naturally also be entered manually.

What are the key benefits of the app for users? It will in future save them a lot of prolonged searching. The machine operator will instead simply scan the bar code on the packaging of the tool or select the required tool in the app itself. The stored data will immediately be retrieved and the operator can transfer it to any tapio-ready saw by tapping it. Manual input and potential sources of error are thereby substantially reduced. It is possible to set up and manage custom data for each tool too. Tool names, for instance, can be assigned and tool pairs defined to specify, for example, which scoring saw blade and main saw blade are to be used together. Furthermore, toolManager tracks the history of each tool, including details such as expected life, service life, sharpening cycles etc. HOMAG materialManager: the app for efficient and mobile material management As the diversity of materials increases, so does the diversity of data; consequently, HOMAG launched a second new app at (continued over page)

LIGNA, this time for material management. Its name: materialManager. It promises greater efficiency and better tracking of the panel materials within the company. Similarly to toolManager, materialManager stores all the material data and makes it available via tapio – retrievable whenever and wherever needed. In this, the app resembles a virtual materials hub in which all information is pooled. This includes material classes and their properties; weight, dimensions and geometry; manufacturer and price; and the in-house material codes. Convenient for users: they can take data stored in materialManager and, simply by tapping, transfer it directly to the desired application – for example, to Cut Rite, intelliDivide, the CADmatic machine control system or any other digital HOMAG products. More power and new processing options for the trade Precision and efficiency in the cutting process do not have to cost a fortune. The truth of this with the SAWTEQ B-130. The smallest HOMAG panel dividing saw has been met with great interest. No wonder, given that it costs hardly any more than a well-equipped circular saw while providing a significantly more automated cutting process that is quick, very precise and eﬃcient thanks to its modern saw control software. This is achieved by proven technologies as well as extras that are consistently aligned with trade practice. The SAWTEQ B-130 exhibited at the fair was, for example, equipped with module45, an optional feature that allows customers to produce all cuts, including bevels, on one and the same machine. They can work efficiently and ﬂexibly without changing station, at seamlessly adjustable angles ranging from 0 to 46 degrees. New: as of LIGNA 2019, the SAWTEQ B-130 features a 5 mm higher saw blade projection of 65 mm, allowing at least one more panel to be cut additionally in a book if required.

The SAWTEQ B-300 with automatic storage system and intelliGuide the top of the range operator assistance system.

Offering still more power for the trade, the SAWTEQ B-200 could also be seen live at LIGNA. The lifting table version of this compact saw was on show – it now comes standard with a 65 mm saw blade projection that can optionally be increased to 80 mm or even 95 mm. A wide range of needs-based optional features are available for greater throughput, speed and processing diversity. Most notably Power Concept practive, which was installed on the fair model. This option allows several strips with different cross cuts to be cut to length simultaneously – increasing output significantly. New: as of LIGNA 2019, Power Concept practive is also available for SAWTEQ B-200 saws with lifting table feed. In order to ensure that the machine operator and fair visitors remained calm and in control of the situation when faced with so much power, the saw on show was also equipped with intelliGuide basic. This basic version of the innovative assistance system

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 58

uses LED light signals at the cutting line to guide the operator intuitively and reliably through the cutting process. SAWTEQ B-300 with storage system feed and intelliGuide professional T h e S AW T E Q B - 3 0 0 w i t h automatic storage system integration goes a step further. A fully-equipped version of this HOMAG best seller, featuring many extras for high material t h r o u g h p u t a n d e rg o n o m i c operation, was on exhibit at LIGNA. Features included an automatic horizontal storage system, an integrated feed-stacking table with panel labeling system, Power Concept professional and intelliGuide professional, the top-of-the-range version of the operator assistance system. intelliGuide professional is the first assistance system to react intelligently to the actions of the machine operator. An integrated camera system including

workplace lighting and special software make this possible. intelliGuide professional sees which part is currently being fed to the saw. It also recognizes the alignment of the workpiece. If the actions deviate from the cutting pattern, intelliGuide will either ﬂexibly adapt the cutting process – where possible and expedient – or give the machine operator instructions for appropriate action. For this, intelliGuide professional is equipped not only with the LED strip at the cutting line but also with a laser projection unit. The latter projects clear instructions for processing and actions directly onto the current workpiece. Arrows on the workpiece show the operator how he should turn and position it, for example. An X means that the wrong part has been inserted. The trash can symbol indicates waste parts. Thanks to the self-explanatory pictograms, the operator always knows which steps he should carry out next. 

technology from TMS paves the way There have been several industry leading firms over the years in the NZ kitchen manufacturing scene and none more so than Kitchen Designz based in New Plymouth. Since its inception back in 1992, Kitchen Designz has been a leader in the application of technology within New Zealand’s cabinetry industry. They were instrumental in introducing CAD software specifically created for kitchen design back in the early 1990’s and after 2003 they led the way in the development of nested manufacturing of bespoke kitchen componentry. Bob Nordgren spoke with Managing Director Dan Holmes about his business and their latest machinery acquisition. I gather since you first started using flatbed CNC technology back in 2003 that your operation has little changed. How is that so? “Little needed to change once we had perfected how to manufacture componentry to our client’s needs. The cutter technology is exactly the same today as back then” comments Dan. “The nested approach using CNC, edge bander technology’s and a panel saw is as eﬀective today as it was back then even though we probably use the panel saw only intermittingly these days. We are now part of a burgeoning nested manufacturing industry here in New Zealand.” The Kitchen Designz team design and manufacture bespoke cabinetry for both the retail market and professional joiners and designers throughout the North Island. Using all makes and models of hardware systems along with all the diﬀerent board substrates and finishes in an ever-evolving market. This is all available from their factory and showroom site at Courtenay Street, New Plymouth in either componentry systems to the trade

client through to fully assembled and installed projects for the private residential client. In recent months you have purchased a new state of the art edgebanding machine using both the NIR laser and the Glue Jet injected glue application system. Is this part of the company approach to keeping up with technology? “Yes in part, we needed to upgrade” explains Dan, “but deciding to offer the latest in products and materials meant we also had to consider the latest banding technology and after our purchase and installation we can now offer the best finishes using the best selection from all three glue systems applied by a quality machine. It’s vital to remain competitive and our mission statement is to offer our clientele the best experience and product on time and at the most reasonable price. I believe that quality is never cheap but is usually well worth it. The new Holzher 1596 edge bander we bought from Mike French at Technical Machinery Services (TMS) is enabling us to achieve this and more.”

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 60

How is this so? “There are several reasons. The machine is robust and easy to use with software that is easily understood and seen on the large touchscreen and our guys got great training from Mike and his team. The flexibility of glue systems using PUR, EVA or Laser is great for short or long custom runs using any glue type. We ﬁnd change over times are quick and we can have dozens of pre-set programs ready to use. The accuracy of the servo drives means axis repositioning is very accurate and all production variations can be done from the screen, we only open the doors for a quick clean up and blow out. The machine runs well and fast, but the biggest thing is that we just don’t have the manual finishing anymore. Finally, we have a bander that just works as it should” At the end of the day what swung the deal and made you buy this edgebander? “The people I was dealing with. The edgebander ticked the boxes and oﬀered everything we needed and more. The thing I wanted was

people I could trust to get us back up and running when it hits the fan. That hasn’t happened yet but I still think Mike team will be there when it does. The install was quick and the testing/training had started in about 1 ½ days with the rest of the week training our guys.” Dan’s business has progressively expanded over the years. At their factory and showroom site they currently employ a dozen staff involved in front oﬃce sales and design, the detailing process, machine cutting and assembly. “We are looking forward to further growth in the years to come as the need for more new and renovated kitchens grows.” says Dan

“It wasn’t until we got the new machine that we realised the time we’d been spending tidying up the finishing from the old one”

left to right - Dan, Troyden, Jared, Toni and Graeme.

Homag Highflex saves hours per kitchen Established in 2001, the name Sharrp Kitchens came from a combination of wider family business names, a personalised number-plate and the desire to give a new business a point of difference. The double ‘rr’ has stuck, with potential customers frequently stopping to look twice at advertising and quite a few people now spelling Managing Director Graeme Sharp’s last name wrong. Taupo born-and-bred, Graeme started Sharrp Kitchens with his then-wife Toni. Now separated for many years, they remain firm friends and strong business partners. Together they run the office at Sharrp Kitchen’s in Taupo’s main industrial park. Graeme takes care of the design work and sales, while Toni runs the office and accounts. In the workshop, four qualified staff take care of the production and the machinery. And ‘taking care’ isn’t an understatement. Factory Foreman Jared Scorgie and his colleagues have the workshop machinery in sparkling condition. With the team’s interest in all things mechanical they certainly get the best out of the company’s machinery investment.

Their previous edgebander – a Brandt K330 – had been fastidiously maintained but was really towards the end of its working life. “To get 15 years plus out of an edgebander it has to have had an inherent quality” explains Graeme. “Having had such long quality service from that machine, we knew we had to talk to Vernon at Jacks to discuss a newer version.” And it wasn’t long before another ‘Brandt’, now branded ‘Homag’ - was taking pride of place at Sharrp Kitchens. “It wasn’t until we got the new machine that we realised the time we’d been spending tidying up the finishing from the old one” says Jared. “We’re turning around several kitchens a week, and the level of finish from the new Homag Ambition 1230 Highflex is saving us hours per kitchen. That adds up to a big saving of time.” Opting for the Highflex model gave Sharrp Kitchens the QA65N glue tank – Homag’s needs-based glue system that only melts the glue that is required at the time. It’s also simple to clean thanks to the purge process, and is capable of processing PU glue in addition to EVA. Other features include automation on functions including end saws and trimmers, and a complete suite of spray and finishing units.

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 64

“We’re getting a seamless result now” says Graeme. “We’ve noticed how sensitive the height of the top pressure bar is to getting the right finish. We have a set of calipers to check board thickness before each job, and if we set the top bar correctly then the result is outstanding.” The team runs two glue pots with white and translucent glue for fast changeovers and is getting excellent results. “Having the Riepe sprays on the machine were new to us too,’ Jared explains. “We’re not doing any finishing work at all after the edgebander now.” All four of those on the floor use the edgebander, and the training was fast and effective. “Fundamentally it’s the same technology as we’re familiar with, although having the touchscreen and access to all our programs is useful, particularly when we need to change something quickly. We barely have to open the hood,” says Jared. Sharrp Kitchens are busy. Even their cleaner is known to operate the CNC and edgebander! With the current rate of growth and expansion in Taupo, Sharrp Kitchens have work stretched out ahead of them for nearly six months. “We have excellent relationships with many group

house builders around the wider Taupo region” explains Toni. “We take the work we do from design right through to install – there are no contractors. So we’re totally in control of our quality, and as a result we’re getting plenty of word-of-mouth and return business too.” Toni is clear about what makes Sharrp Kitchens successful: “Our success is purely because of the inclusion and involvement of the whole team” she states. All four of the workshop team are qualified, with three of them having done their apprenticeships at Sharrp Kitchens, and it’s clear there’s a strong bond between all the staff. Graeme and Toni included the whole team in selecting their new Homag, and the final decision was made by the team on the floor. After all, it is them using the machine day in day out. And the way they are looking after the 1230 Highflex they could well be looking at another 15 years of excellent performance and outstanding results.

bins under the sink are always a struggle! As a continuation of their quest to stay at the forefront of innovation, the Hideaway Bins team have expanded their floor mount bin ranges to resolve yet another bug bear for cabinetmakers and homeowners! It is often tricky to fit a waste bin under the sink around plumbing, especially in small kitchens and bathroom vanities. The expanded floor mount bin range is designed to fit in places with tight spaces where the cabinet could be full of plumbing or other appliances such as insinkerators, and water filters. The bins come as single 15L or 20L buckets which allow the plumbing to run behind allowing the homeowner to still have the opportunity for a quality waste bin solution. The twin 15L bucket solutions provide the homeowner with the opportunity to ensure they can separate waste and recycling. And the larger twin 20L floor mount bin provides the larger family with this great solution beneath the sink when a bin in another part of the kitchen isn’t an option. The NZ Made, Hideaway Compact Floor Mount bins have a fully enclosed, durable, one-piece metal frame. The Hideaway Bins

team believe in the longevity of their products and ensure they are designing with materials that are not going to break easily and can also be recycled at the end of its lifecycle. The single piece metal frame has been thought through, as often cleaning beneath a floor mount waste bin is diﬃcult. The homeowner no longer has to clean around the nooks and crannies where dust collects on the floor mount brackets. The new bins are simple to install, making them ideal as a DIY install for

homeowners or builders, and a perfect option for retroﬁtting to existing kitchens. Six screws into the base of the carcass and it’s in!

The new floor mount bins are available nationwide through Hafele and via regional distribution partners Carters, ITM, Impeys, Rosecity Wood Pannels and Scooters. For more information visit www.hideawaybins.co.nz

not quite ‘IKEA’ for dust collectors – but close!

NZDUCT+FLEX have worked with JKF Industri to ensure flat pack filter kits are as economic for a joiner as possible

NZDUCT+FLEX have further developed their FILTERPAK solution to reduce costs to business owners, ensuring anyone can aﬀord a ‘proper’ Dust Extraction solution. Be honest: is your production space a bit dusty? Have you been thinking of improving it for some time, but that new CNC or a holiday in Europe is far, far more attractive?! Consider the costs of an unhealthy workplace. If you know your workshop is not really up to scratch, your visiting Worksafe advisor may think so too, not to mention your staff. In line with current Health and Safety mandates, you may have to prove your dust filtration is working correctly; prove it was correctly designed in the first place and

that it is efficient and fit for purpose. The proof may involve getting in a consulting company to fit monitors to your staff to see exactly how much dust they are exposed to. You may need to pay thousands of dollars to tell you something you already knew – your workspace is dusty. NZ DUCT+ FLEX have a solution that’s effective and costs far less than most think. Sales Manager Geoff Ebdon explains the issues: “We recently visited a joinery company who know they have a dust problem and now have to pay for dust monitoring to establish the extent of this problem. The monitoring is said to be costing around $4000-5000.

ﬁlter area to handle the air sucked up by the powerful fans. When NZDUCT+FLEX suggested a central system, with a large ﬁlter placed outside with a fan, and ducting as the solution, the owner said “I simply don’t have 100k to spend on dust extraction”

Talking with their suppliers JKF Industri in Europe, NZDUCT+FLEX have reduced the cost of a dust filter unit as much as possible so customers can move away from very small portable ﬁlter units to a large, proper ﬁlter.

It is a common fallacy that dust extraction, done correctly, costs a lot of money. This doesn’t have to be the case! What is true however, is that dust extraction solved cheaply is very expensive and in fact a complete waste of money, as long term it doesn’t actually work and then you have to start all over again.

Introducing FILTERPAK FilterPak is a complete full size indoor/outdoor filter with 49m2 of filter area, designed, produced and packed to reduce costs. These filters, manufactured in volume, are packed into a crate designed to exactly fit inside standard shipping container unit, complete with everything you need to put up a filter: nuts, bolts, instructions, even the sealant and a gun to apply it.

NZDUCT+FLEX do build huge systems costing millions of dollars, but every week they also install large numbers of smaller units for schools and family owned kitchen and joinery businesses.

Once loaded into the container, fans are added just behind the doors, keeping shipping costs to and within NZ as low as possible.

Packed as two module units (the most common size sold in NZ), they can be installed in a weekend by anyone in the joinery industry. “If you can design doors, windows or build a complete kitchen with all the different appliances to consider, this is a doddle!” confirms Geoff Ebdon.

“Anyone can do it,” confirms Spencer Bremner, Master Joiner from Kitchen Focus in Dunedin. Spencer built his filter himself over 2 Saturday mornings last year and found the process very easy due to the detailed CAD drawings NZDUCT+FLEX supplied (see advertisement).

The standard price including 4kw fan = $11,995 (Plus GST and local NZ delivery costs, or collection is available). For an extra $749/$999 you can upgrade to a 5.5kw/ 7.5kw fan respectively. If you want to add duct, raise the height for a bin underneath or opt for rotary valve exit, these can all be accommodated due to the modular design of the units.

“Now our factory ﬂoor is always clean and our factory team are a lot happier with no dust ﬂoating in the air. It has also saved us time in cleaning cabinets before they leave for installation - before the dust would end up everywhere, now the dust is contained. I am blown away by the amount of bags of dust that go to the skip.”

“Combined with free advice and duct design, it’s the best offer on the market for a proper bag house.” Say Geoﬀ Ebdon.

Vocational education reform by Warwick Quinn, Chief Executive, Building & Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO)

Some of you will be fully up to date with the Reform of Vocational Education (RoVE), others not so much. This is a very brief update on what RoVE is all about, what stage it is at and some myths that are beginning to float about that need dispelling. What is RoVE? On 1 August the Government announced seven key changes to create a uniﬁed vocational education system. As part of breaking down the barriers between onthe-job and oﬀ-the-job training, it will disestablish the 11 Industry Training Organisations (ITOs),of which BCITO is one, and replace them with: (a) a new national delivery agency with a working name of the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (NZIST), to

deliver all classroom, digital, and on-the-job learning. This is a merger of the sixteen Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics.

lowing recent discussions with the sector, there is good support for a Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council.

(b) Workforce Development Councils (WDCs) with a powerful oversight role, responsible for leading the development of qualiﬁcations, standard setting, skills leadership, brokerage and industry advocacy. They won’t be directly involved in running on-the-job training themselves.

Once Minister Hipkins determines what coverage the WDCs will have (expected to be announced early December 2019) the industry will need to determine how it will be governed. Under current arrangements, construction and infrastructure activities span some ﬁve ITOs, and as WDCs will be industry-lead, the formation of a single Construction and Infrastructure WDC will be complex. We need to wait until the Minister announces the makeup and structure of the WDCs before we can be involved in helping them get set up.

The WDC functions and the arranging of on-job training are current ITO activities. Where is RoVE at? Government is currently consulting on the makeup and coverage of each WDC. One option is to have WDCs based on Vocational Pathways that were launched some years ago. As one of these vocational pathways is Construction and Infrastructure, and fol-

The transition from the current regime to the new one under RoVE is anticipated to take until December 2022. By that time all WDCs will be in place and all

work based training will have transferred from the BCITO to the new national institute. Myths At the moment the vocational education system is not as eﬃcient as it could be and, if you were starting from scratch today, you would not design it how it is currently structured. BCITO has been critical of the 28-year-old framework, saying it needs modernising so we can be more responsive to employer and learner needs.

When you strip away all the noise relating to RoVE the Government is essentially undertaking a regulatory/provider split. WDCs will be accountable to Industry for the qualifications/standards it wants, and in turn WDCs will oversee the quality of that delivery by the NZIST and other providers. This all seems simple enough,and the foundations on which the new system is based have the potential to address all of the concerns we have raised, and then some. The things that will get in the way of a successful transition are people and culture. Everything happens over the next three years, and there are already a bunch of mixed messages that, if not checked, have the potential to undermine employer confidence, at a time when skilled, qualified workers are so desperately needed in construction… and we certainly don’t want that. Myth 1 One of the myths floating around is that all that is happening is the Government is creating a “mega poly” and it is only doing this to get them out of the massive financial hole some of these institutions are in. I cannot tell you if that is true or not, but I can tell you the system was creaking regardless, and it is not a system that is suitable going forward long-term. Something had to change. Myth 2 Another myth is that because there is going to be a “mega poly” on-job learning (work-based learning) will be replaced by classroom learning. While one can understand how that is a natural thing to assume (as Polytechs predominantly undertake classroom learning), it is not so. The NZIST is not a “mega poly”, but a new national entity with an extensive network of campuses, responsible for all vocational learning be it on-job, off-job or distance learning. Through WDCs, industry will still decide where learning takes place and what the best delivery mechanism is (on-campus, online, on-the-job, or a combination). In fact, given how rapidly the nature of work is changing, workintegrated learning is going to be an increasingly important part of making sure students are ready for the future of work.

Myth 3 Another myth is that there “is no point in signing up an apprentice as they won’t be able to finish their qualification”. I don t know where that one came from, but it is absolutely a false assumption. All qualifications remain,and everyone entering one will be able to complete it. Qualifications are controlled by the industry and are updated regularly – no change there. Myth 4 We are also hearing stories of employers being told that “BCITO isn’t going to exist so there is no point in signing up with them”. This too implies that an apprentice won’t be able to complete the apprenticeship if they sign with BCITO. This is simply not true and all things being equal the only thing you may experience is the training advisor working with you may be wearing a different shirt one day. So ignore any rhetoric that says otherwise. So, some very important takeaways: 1. Reform was needed 2. The NZIST is not a “mega poly” but a new national entity responsible for all training 3. WDCs are industry-governed statutory entities, which will give industry greater control over all aspects of vocational education – they’ll get to decide whether programmes are fit for purpose and what the best way of delivering them is. 4. There is no reason to stop training for fear apprentices won’t be able to complete 5. There is no reason to not sign your apprentice up with BCITO If you have any questions about the reforms at all, please don’t hesitate to discuss them with your local BCITO Training Advisor.

the new Egmont Air system is installed and working just as we wanted, we really appreciate the way Egmont Air was able to respond quickly and get us operational again, ... they have done a fantastic job”

Egmont Air replaced the Accent dust extrcation system quickly following their fire.

a quick comeback A

ccent Group, manufacturers of oﬃce furniture, recently had a fire which burnt and destroyed their dust extraction system. The ﬁre is currently under investigation, but it is clear it wasn’t started by a fault in the system.

Mr Chris Holt, CEO of Accent Group comments “we provide a premium service supporting oﬃce furniture dealers nationwide to reliably deliver contract furniture projects, and the impact of this ﬁre instantly disrupted our factory operation and production plan” Egmont Air quickly responded and Mr Cameron Prestidge travelled to site the next day to evaluate the situation and sort out a temporary solution to get

the factory operating quickly. Returning on Monday, the temporary system was quickly installed and the factory was up and running without any delays to customers projects! In the meantime, Egmont Air designed, supplied and installed a new system to replace what had been there before. The new system features automatic ﬁlter cleaning, dust loading into containers, and a new spark detection and suppression system. The Egmont Spark Detection System uses special high-sensitivity detectors to monitor the duct work for any hot particles and a spray atomizer downstream instantly extinguishes any sparks to prevent disaster. The new system is also ﬁtted with heat detectors and deluge nozzles.

From managing directors to apprentices across the country, this year’s finalists and winners universally impressed judges in the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Excellence Awards, in partnership with BCITO. “Speaking to the nominees and hearing about their careers in ways that they can’t describe on paper was inspiring,” said one judge. “We heard their passion and dedication, their modesty and humility; most thinking they’re just doing their jobs. They don’t realise how extraordinary they are.” “I think as women we accept there is a lot to juggle with family, kids and our individual challenges,” agreed another. “We strive to do our best and to varying degrees make a success of whatever we’ve turned our hand to. These women are exceptional - women who are using their skills, knowledge, influence, voice and passion to make a quantifiable difference to the wider construction industry, the community, and numerous people around them.” N AW I C P r e s i d e n t J e n n y Parker was delighted with the achievements of all entrants as well as the event itself, which was held on Friday evening, September 27th in Auckland. “Every one of these women is remarkable,” she said. “They’re succeeding in what has been a man’s world for so long, and doing a wonderful job. We also acknowledge and respect the men who are helping us to change this.” BCITO Chief Executive Warwick Quinn said, “We are extremely proud to partner with NAWIC to support these Awards for the first time. On behalf of BCITO, we’d like to give a very big thank you to the judges, organisers and other partners who have contributed in one way or another to make tonight’s event such a stand-out occasion. Well done to all award recipients, you all shine brightly and you should be enormously proud of your achievements.”

Due Process Geoﬀ Hardy

A basic guide to Builders’ Warranties

n law, a warranty is simply a promise or an undertaking that is given to you by someone you have contracted with. For example, a builder warrants to his client that his work complies with the building code. If that promise or undertaking turns out not to be correct, the client can sue the builder for compensation. Historically the breach of a “warranty” was regarded as not as serious as the breach of a “condition”, which would give the client the right to cancel the building contract. But these days those old rules have been superseded by Part 2 Subpart 3 of the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, so some warranties do actually give you the right to cancel the contract if they are breached. The same is true under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Building Act 2004. Under the building contract you are free to state what repercussions there will be if a warranty is breached, and this will prevail over the Contract and Commercial Law Act, but not the other two Acts. In legal terms, we need to distinguish warranties from guarantees. In the context of the building industry, a warranty is a promise given by the builder to the property owner (or vice versa) in the building contract. A guarantee is promise given by a third party to the property owner (or the builder). A good example is the personal guarantee that the directors or major shareholders of building companies have to give to their company’s bank or their landlord when the company gets a bank loan or leases some premises. Another example is the guarantee that members of Certiﬁed Builders or Master Builders can oﬀer their customers. Unlike a warranty, those guarantees are issued to property owners by an underwriter,

not by the builder. For example, the Halo guarantee available through Certified Builders is issued by a Lloyds of London syndicate. There is a popular misconception that if you don’t have a warranty, or your warranty has “run out”, then you don’t have any rights against the party that supplied you defective goods or services. That is why retailers are able to entice consumers with the promise of a warranty – as though they are promising you something you don’t already have – and it is why there is a booming market in “extended warranties” that you actually have to pay for. That frustrates the Government and lobby groups like Consumer NZ Inc. - so much so that they got the Fair Trading Act amended in 2014 to require all retailers of consumer goods or services who sell extended warranties, to tell their customers in plain English that they probably have better legal rights already. Similar misconceptions persist in the building industry. For example, some residential builders give their clients written warranties that their building work will be defect-free for a speciﬁed number of years and under certain conditions, as if this was some kind of bonus or added value to the client. Homeowners who discover defects after the warranty has run out may be tempted to resign themselves to their fate and pay for the repairs themselves. In fact, if they got proper legal advice they would be told that they already have five separate warranties under the law, three of which can’t be contracted out of, and four of which last for up to 10 years. In the commercial building sector the situation is entirely diﬀerent because three of those warranties – those in the Consumer Guarantees

JOINERS Magazine December 2019 page 72

Act 1993 and the Building Act 2004 – generally don’t apply. So commercial property owners are left with whatever warranties may be found in the building contract itself, and the law of negligence that requires the careless builder to compensate the owner for losses arising out of his faulty workmanship or materials, that were reasonably foreseeable. In both cases the commercial property owner’s rights may be significantly curtailed by exclusions or limitations of liability in the building contract itself. It is probably for that reason that the major standard-form building contracts (which were written at least partially to protect the interests of property owners) contain separate warranty agreements that the builder is obliged to give the property owner on completion. The warranty in NZS 3910:2013 is found in Schedule 13, and the warranty in NZIA SCC 2018 is found in Schedule G1. Sometimes you also find warranties buried in the speciﬁcations issued by the Engineer or the Architect, so look out for those. Under NZS 3910:2013 you make an election when you ﬁll out the special conditions, as to whether warranties are required from the contractor, and if so, for which items of work. The warranties must be supplied to the Engineer before the practical completion certificate is issued, and they must be in the form of Schedule 13 “or as otherwise acceptable to the Engineer”. Any warranties provided by the contractor do not supersede or override the contractor’s obligations under the building contract. The warranties state how long they are to last for, but regardless of what they say, they come to an end after 10 years.

Interestingly, there is no space in the special conditions to specify who the warranties are to come from, but the warranty agreement itself contemplates that it might be given by someone other than the contractor – sometimes, but not necessarily, a subcontractor such as a joiner. The party giving the warranty (the “warrantor”) simply promises that the relevant building works are “as required in the [building] contract”, and (unless otherwise agreed) “shall be in accordance with good trade practice”. If the warranty is given by the contractor, then to some extent it is superfluous, given that the contractor has already given comprehensive promises to the property owner under the contract itself. For example under clause 2.1.2 of the General Conditions of Contract the contractor undertakes that it will “carry out the work described in the Contract and fulfil its obligations thereunder”. The Building Contract includes not only all the tender and agreed post-tender documents but also the special conditions, the general conditions, the specifications and drawings, the schedule of prices (if applicable) and any agreed additional documents. Throughout the General Conditions the contractor makes all sorts of additional promises relating to setting out, building materials, timing, compliance with laws, quality plan, and removal and making good of noncomplying work. If it later turns out that those promises weren’t honoured, then the property owner can sue the contractor for damages for up to 6 years after the noncompliance is discovered (but no later than 10 years after the default arose). In addition, under clause 5.1.1 the contractor promises that it will “remedy defects in the Contract

H& &S with Kathy Compliance

Who’s responsible? Works” and under Part 11 there are comprehensive obligations on the contractor to remedy defects that are discovered during the defects notification period (3 months after practical completion unless otherwise stated). Under clause 11.4.1, the contractor remains liable for any obligation that remains unperformed or not properly performed, even after the issue of the final completion certificate. And to top it off, under Part 7 the contractor agrees to indemnify the property owner against any loss or liability arising out of the contract works, other than those for which the property owner is responsible. That indemnity once again lasts for up to 10 years. All of the above rights are in addition to the product warranties that are typically issued by product manufacturers or importers. Although they don’t name the intended recipient (because the manufacturer or importer doesn’t know who they are) they can be enforced by the property owner directly against the manufacturer or importer. The terms of the product warranties may limit the rights that a commercial property owner has, but a homeowner can ignore many of those limitations under the Consumer Guarantees Act.  Geoff Hardy has 45 years’ experience as a commercial lawyer and is a partner in the Auckland firm “Martelli McKegg”.

t’s an obvious question: who’s meant to be keeping me safe at work? There’s no one answer, because it’s not just one person’s responsibility. But neither can you say it’s not your responsibility, because the Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) is clear - it’s everyone’s responsibility – no matter what your position at your workplace. The 2015 Health and Safety at Work Act is very clear about H&S responsibilities in a workplace. Holding the primary duty of care to “look after the health and safety of its workers and any other workers it influences or directs” is the “PCBU”. PCBU is shorthand for a ‘Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking’. A ‘business’ is pretty selfexplanatory and includes sole traders and those who are selfemployed. An ‘undertaking’ is usually a not-for-profit or not commercial – such as a council, school or charity. (Pretty much the only group excluded from being a PCBU – other than Officers and Workers at the PCBU - are volunteer associations.) The PCBU has an overarching duty towards providing and maintaining safe workplaces, systems, plant and structures, information and training. This duty is to the PCBU’s “workers” (think ‘staff’), as well as any other workers it influences or directs (ie sub-contractors) and others who could be put at risk – such as the public, visiting children etc etc..

When discussing responsibilities, Worksafe mentions “Officers” next. Officers are those who have a significant influence over the management of a business, and there can be more than one at a PCBU. Officers are obliged to “exercise due diligence to ensure that the business meets its health

Workers are also required to follow reasonable instructions so far as they are able to and cooperate with reasonable policy and procedures. So, if you’re reckless in your work, or don’t follow company procedures, you’re liable for prosecution, no matter what your role. and safety obligations” – in other words they have to know the law around H&S, know the risks of the business and ensure there are processes to ensure safety is maintained. An Officer needn’t be carrying out the H&S work themselves, but they do need to know enough to ensure those who do are doing so properly. In a change from the previous H&S Act, Officers can be personally liable for not carrying out their roles with due diligence, whether or not the PCBU is prosecuted. So, if you’re in a position of significant leadership then you should make sure you know what your responsibilities under the Act are. (WorkSafe point out that someone who advises or makes recommendations to someone in a senior position is not an Officer). Sole Traders have the responsibilities of both a PCBU and an Officer. After Officers, “Workers” are specially named as having a responsibility for H&S. Workers are pretty much anyone carrying out work, including subcontractors, apprentices, trainees, and even volunteers at a PCBU. With the ultimate duty of care lying with the PCBU, many Workers are under the impression the company they work for takes all the responsibility. However, the Act makes it clear that Workers must take “reasonable care of their own health and safety and reasonable care that others are not harmed by something they do or don’t do.”

WorkSafe also point out that Workers have the right to stop work if they believe something is unsafe. Many businesses (such us ours) have turned this around and require Workers to stop if something might be unsafe. This in effect shares the responsibility for H&S – if you’re not sure, stop, and let’s assess the risk together. Because under the Act anyone PCBU, Officer, or Worker – can be prosecuted, and no one wants that. To avoid workplace accidents and injuries, and to minimise prosecutions, the HSWA requires a variety of staff engagement, including ensuring staff have a voice in H&S matters, including clear channels for concerns or suggestions, H&S committee where requested, and H&S representatives – who speak on behalf of others. The WorkSafe website is useful about how all this works, and it’s quite simple in practice. Worth checking you’re doing the right thing. So, whether you like it or not, and no matter who you are at your workplace, you have a responsibility for your own safety as well as those around you. Take it seriously. Here’s to a safe 2020! Merry Christmas and remember the key H&S message of the summer holidays: slip, slop, slap! Kathy from Jacks

Steering a course Ian Featherstone

Building better people and better businesses As another year end gets close, we will soon have some well-earned R&R and perhaps a chance to reflect and consider what might be in store in 2020. Despite what you read in the media things can always get better. Most of us work in very small businesses and to stay ahead we must be a little smarter and look after our customers better than our competitors do. To be even better, we need to build a better team. Graham Henry said, “better people make better All Blacks” and “better people make better teams” I add that “better leaders, make better people and better teams”. Are you a business owner or leader who feels that, even though you have people around you, you are carrying most of the pressure and decision making and sometimes even question why you are doing this at all? Do you recognise the impact you can have as a leader on the effectiveness of your team? You are, after all, the head coach as well as the manager. Creating a great team takes deliberate action and starts from the top, be the spearhead from which everything else follows, be strong and clear on the direction you are going and make sure everyone knows the direction and why. This will help define why the company exists and what each person’s role is in this. As “tradies” (yes, I’m one too), we tend to focus on the practical / technical skills of creating, crafting engineering and machining. It’s easier to appreciate the skill required to produce a beautiful piece of joinery or furniture. It’s harder to appreciate that the best work and service comes from workplaces where individuals are engaged, teams collaborate and there is a common sense of purpose, along with some fun. When things flow, the best work just happens, and people are happy. You know the feeling, right? So, what are some of the elements of an engaged, free flowing team? And what can you do differently as the leader? Respect • Respect yourself, each other, the values and processes you have, and all the people involved from beginning to end. • Walk the talk.

Purpose • Unite the team around a common “reason for being” and make sure every person has an opportunity to be a part of it. • Create opportunities to pause, reﬂect and admire the great work that is going on. Team Development • Be prepared to do the hard work, lead by example, no-one is too big to “sweep the shed”. • Stand shoulder to shoulder as one team. Ask, don’t tell. • Recognise good and bad behaviour, catch people doing good things and praise them, deal with poor attitudes. Don’t walk past either good or bad (we often develop a habit of focusing on the negatives, rather than highlighting and celebrating the positives). Leadership, Engagement & Growth • Empower people, give them the freedom to act, accept that failure is a great teacher and make sure errors and failures are learning experiences that are not repeated. • Give constructive feedback, recognise everyone can always be better with focus and practise. • Welcome newcomers, celebrate success and work well done, recognise those that choose to move on. • Allow life / work balance to exist. Trust • Do the little things right and the big things will take care of themselves. Remember, you are the role model for the character of your organisation, so prepare, rehearse and act when required, your people rely on you to set the tone and standard. 

recognition and vision As 2019 draws to a close, it’s a great time to share the successes of the last 12 months and look ahead to what 2020 has in store. The National Kitchen and Bathroom Association (NKBA) has had an excellent year, building on strong foundations and setting the organisation up for a fantastic 2020. Our annual awards program has continued to push boundaries and provide increased exposure for the talented design community of New Zealand. We have seen growth in the number of firsttime entrants highlighting our penetration into the new member fraternity as well as up and coming design talent. We’d like to take the opportunity to congratulate all 2019 NKBA Excellence in Design and Master Joiner Award winners. A special congratulations to our two Supreme winners, Stefan Sonntag from Masterwood Joinery and Michelle Quinn from Lume Design for taking out the highly esteemed Supreme Kitchen Design and Supreme Bathroom Design awards respectively.

A number of NKBA designers have been recognised on the global stage throughout 2019. Davinia Sutton won the International Design of the Year Award at the Designer Kitchen and Bathroom Awards in London, whilst Masterwood Joinery has recently been awarded the overall KBB Award at the prestigious Society of British and International Interior Design (SBID) awards. Congratulations to you both, such a brilliant achievement showcasing New Zealand design excellence to the world. Congratulations also to 2019 SBID Award ﬁnalists and NKBA members Cube Dentro, Detail by Davinia Sutton, Mal Corboy Design and German Kitchens. We should all take pride in the prestige bestowed on these talented designers. The 2019 NKBA Conference was held in Melbourne earlier this year with the engaging theme of Inspiration@Work, made possible by our Principal Sponsor Fisher & Paykel. Conference attendees were inspired and entertained by keynote speakers Ben Shewry and Alex Perry who shared their unique yet similar stories of hardwork, overcoming challenges and becoming true leaders in

their fields of food and fashion. Alongside presentations on social media and sustainability, attendees had a chance to walk the laneways and hidden architectural treasures of Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia. We are delighted to announce that the 2020 NKBA Conference will be held in our capital Wellington in July 2020, with a stimulating program currently in development to tie into our theme of Vision@ Work. In August 2019 the Minister of Education, Chris Hipkins i n t r o d u c e d t h e Vo c a t i o n a l Education and Training Reform with the ambition to create a unified and cohesive vocational education and training system to help New Zealanders prepare for the future of work. This will certainly see changes for both the NKBA and Master Joiners in the future, so it is important that we are unified in our approach. We have both confirmed our position with the Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council (WDC), aligning with the BCITO for when the ITO transition commences from April 2020.

We are delighted to have a new Executive Board in place for the next few years, bringing a diverse group across our membership base to govern and champion the objectives of the NKBA into 2020 and beyond. Continuing with me for another term are Nick Thompson (Vice), Mark Bruce, Simon Harkness, Alison Thirkettle-Tawharu, Milvia Hannah, Suzie Rees and Rachael Kwok. Thanks to Davinia Sutton from Detail by Davinia Sutton and to Celia Visser from Celia Visser Design for joining us and bringing their expertise and knowledge to this important responsibility for the industry. On behalf of the NKBA, I would like to wish all of our members and all Master Joiner members a wonderful festive holiday period ahead. Regards Jared Dinneen NKBA President
