positive forecasts

W

ith a much more positive start to the year it is not surrprising that the first half of 2013 has gone so quickly. One of the main positives so far this year is the general optimism throughout the industry that workloads are on the rise. Although it is still too early to tell whether this increase is going to continue, the rise has been gradual, which hopefully will allow more improvement throughout the remainder of this year and into 2014.

Economic reports are still confusing and many differ but one report did stand out to me. The report stated that nationwide levels of work both residential and non-residential are forecast to expand by 34% between December 2012 and December 2016. This gradual increase in work could quite possibly be the start of much better times for our industry over the next few years.

Another positive for our industry is the long awaited release of the NZS4211 manual. This standards revamp and subsequent manual will be a valuable tool to many of the Master Joiners as well as being a huge asset to our industry. The manual and revamp of the 4211 standards is the result of countless hours of work and valuable industry knowledge from the directors of JMFNZ. It is a tool that Master Joiners will use for years to come. Thanks again to Gary McNaughton, Ken Monk, Dennis McNaughton and Julian Jacques for a job very well done.

The annual Master Joiners national conference is being held in Nelson on 20th - 22nd June. This year promises to be once again an exciting conference. With continued increase in support from sponsors, great guest speakers and an ever increasing number of members attending the Nelson conference is going to be an event not to be missed. Once again there are a record number of entries in the awards and attendance numbers are looking promising.

BLUM Bikers Motatapu Mountain Bike Race 2013 The Motatapu Mountain Bike race took place on the 9th of March covering 47km in the stunning southern high country valleys. As much of a mental challenge as a physical one, there are many rivers to cross, hills to climb and a few steep descents thrown into the mix.

The race starts at Glendhu Bay on the shore of Lake Wanaka, near the Wanaka Township, and finishes at historic Arrowtown. The journey follows a route early Maori used for hunting and gathering Greenstone. The valley was not discovered by European explorers until around 1862, during the gold rush.

Top riders such as junior world champ Anton Cooper, elite rider Dirk Peters and celebs such as Bill English and Hamish Carter have all taken part in the race. However it is the first-timers, the recreational riders, and the competitors that make up the majority of the 2,300+ participants.

The course record is 1:47:53. But don’t let that fool you, the race is a hard slog, with the average time being 4 hours and 3 mins. The Blum team’s times ranged from 3:03 – 4:43.

Blum often partake in events and activities outside the workplace to help strengthen the team environment and more importantly for a bit of fun! They work well together and most are good friends outside of the office as well. They’re hoping to add to the team in 2014, with almost everyone competing this year, verbally signed up for the next race!

Over the past few years the conference has grown and flourished under the careful guidance of conference organisers, National Executive and of course the vast conference experience of Corinne Moore our Executive Officer. Thank you all for input into making the conference such a great event. The conference is becoming a popular event among members to showcase their work, learn about new products, network with other members and suppliers while enjoying local hospitality around New Zealand.

CLT features at PrefabNZ conference W & R Jack Ltd and cross-laminated timber (CLT) manufacturers XLam NZ were joint Gold Sponsors of the PrefabNZ Conference held in New Plymouth in the autumn.

Attended by a mix of engineers, architects, manufacturers and suppliers, the conference theme was ‘Collaboration for Growth, Economic Resilience and Future-Proofing’ – a topic that included international examples of successful prefabrication, many of which featured CLT. Jacks has provided all the machinery for XLamNZ’s manufacturing operation, and the quality of their CLT product was evident in the striking display stand constructed entirely from CLT. During his presentation to the conference Robin Jack spoke of the many opportunities CLT offered – from reduced costs for commercial building through to the export prospects for NZ’s solid timber industry. Mr Jack’s enthusiasm for CLT was echoed by speakers thoughout the conference – from sectors including architecture, construction, and academia.

“CLT is a perfect match with the ideals of prefabrication” explains Robin Jack.

“Worldwide, the benefits of offsite construction are becoming more and more obvious. Reduced site time, repeatable quality, less waste, – these are more than just buzz words in today’s commercial construction industry, and we know CLT is well placed to satisfy these requirements”.

PrefabNZ is a self-sustaining non-profit society representing the interests of a wide range of materials and stakeholders in New Zealand’s design and construction sector: from clients through to designers, specifiers, manufacturers, contractors and government.

Note: PrefabAus - an equivalent Australian body – has just been established. 

Biesse open day Biesse recently ran an open day at their South Auckland showroom demonstrating a large display of machinery ranging from their latest CNC routers to edgebanders through to marble and granite cutting machines.

“The mood was very positive through out the show with paticular interest in the Biesse Skill 1836 NBC cell showcasing our new automatic labelling system which promises to be a great addition to any nesting set up.” 

A meeting was held in Nelson in October 2012 to discuss the formation of a Nelson/Marlborough Master Joiners Association, to join the other nine successful branches of Master Joiners in New Zealand. The Federation President of Master Joiners, Rhys Powell, and the Executive Officer, Corinne Moore, attended the meeting to disseminate information on our organisation.

All current Master Joiner Direct Members in the Nelson/ Marlborough region were invited to form an association. We also invited other joinery companies in the Nelson/Marlborough region to attend, to learn of the benefits of becoming a Master Joiner. Suppliers in the region were invited with the idea of becoming Associate members of this branch, to support and interact with Master Joiner members.

Nelson/Marlborough Master Joiners held their next meeting in February 2013 and elected Alan Gibb from Waimea West Joinery in Nelson as president and Philip Thompson from The Laminex Group in Nelson as secretary. Further meetings have been held with beneficial discussions and interaction.

The NZJMF Executive are delighted with the response and welcome our 10th branch association to the NZ Joinery Manufacturers’ Federation Inc. Nelson/Marlborough Master Joiners now number 12 Master Joiner members, with more companies interested in joining the association. Support and enthusiasm is there, from Local Associate and National associate members.

New look website up & running It took a wee while but we have finally got our new look website underway. It’s a bit more user friendly with a better looking online version of the magazine. Of interest is the new Trades Shows page that will keep you in touch with what’s happening in the international trade show scene as we develop it further.

Talking of trade shows we have comment on the recently held Ligna and Interzum shows from Germany. Attendance, especially from outside Europe appears to be up on previous years. A good sign of interest in what’s happening from the rest of the world as we all gradually come out of recession.

On a more traditional note we have coverage of the latest in benchtop product and related sink inserts. It remains a very competitive market with lots of different options for the end user available.

Something we do every now and then is a look at the classic machinery like planers, moulders, thicknessers, 4 siders, etc. They may not look as flash as CNC but they are still very much an essential part of the modern joinery factory set up.

Of course there is the Master Joiners Conference hot on the heels of the release of this issue in June. To be held in picturesque Nelson this should be a good one. The latest developments on the Standard 4211 scene will no doubt be to the fore at this conference. In my view the most significant development in the history of the New Zealand joinery industry: a real opportunity to regain market share for wooden doors and windows. Hopefully we will have some info for wider dissemination in our September issue. With membership of the Master Joiners having virtually doubled in the last couple of years hopefully we will see more of them at the Conference as well. We will be covering the Conference, the various Award winners and a special feature on the Supreme Award winner in our September issue. A special thanks should go to all the sponsors of the conference and the Master Joiner Awards for their ongoing support. None of all this happens without them. I’m looking forward to meeting up with Master Joiners and sponsors alike in what is my favourite Conference venue.

Done & Dusted NZS:4211 UPDATE At the JMF NZ Ltd Directors meeting on the 12th February directors approved the printing of the Manual. This is the final stage of a 3 year project to have timber windows comply with NZS 4211.

The manufacturing manuals have now been printed and Corinne our administrator is notifying all joiners that have participated in the scheme (and are Registered Master Joiners) that they can now place orders.

JMF NZ Ltd has a website set up and details will soon be on this for architects to access, architects will have to register but there won’t be any cost involved. We are having Power Point presentations done, for associations and members to use for supplying information to architects and for local authorities and building inspectors.

The latter is mainly for Ken Monk and Garry McNaughton to present, but will be available to all.

The second stage of this project has been testing to E2 of the Building code.

Two tests have been done to date for weatherboards on a cavity and direct fix, the next test for installation is now being done (flat sheet) and the final test, plaster will be done June/July. These are progressing OK and when complete we will then have access to drawings to assist with installation for most situations. This is something that architects have been wanting for some time and the details will eventually be on the website.

The issue with alternative bi fold hardware is still ongoing as we have only been able to test one brand at this stage because of cost and more importantly time, it is looking more likely that each supplier will have to test their own products. One company has already confirmed that if this is the case, they are prepared to test.

We will assist them with the test using existing panels to help keep costs down.

Any testing will be done when we have completed the Installation tests.

PPG Industries Training transforms results After 63 staff from PPG Industries’ Auckland manufacturing plant were awarded level two certificates in competitive manufacturing late last year, the company is still measuring the benefits. The training was funded and overseen by Greg Stuart, National Training Advisor (Furniture), for the Forestry Education and Training Council (FITEC) in early 2012.

PPG’s Lean Manager, William Bratton designed and drove the lean manufacturing training. He said the management statistics emerging since the training began in 2012 indicates that $0.6 million in efficiency savings has resulted in a nine month period.

This year, a further 30 employees have been enrolled to complete a level Five (Diploma) Competitive Manufacturing programme.

A further 15 employees will undertake the level Three (Technician) programme and as part of the lean strategy for the supply chain, two groups of PPG distributors will complete level Two qualifications.

PPG’s Auckland Production Manager, Andy Cardwell, said there was a lot of apprehension at first among staff but there has been a big swing in the way people think and now everyone is fully engaged because they have seen the benefits.

He said individuals had embraced a new sense of ownership of the plant because they understand the challenges of the company and how it translates right down to their jobs.

Linked to PPG’s lean manufacturing culture is a bonus system for all employees.

Regular productivity information is placed in the lunchroom to show how the plant is tracking. 

The Laminex Group

update Beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing

N

o, this is not my way of getting a cheap sheep joke into my column – rather I’d like to address the issue around product quality and the damage that cheap imitations from abroad can do to the New Zealand market.

At The Laminex Group, we pride ourselves on providing the best products, prices, services and merchandising all backed by robust guarantees. Products by Kiwis for Kiwis. But we are very aware that there are other players entering the market who are offering a good price with the aim of making a quick buck and while that might seem attractive to some there are some major pitfalls to be wary of.

The strong NZ dollar means our market is looking pretty attractive to foreign exporters and domestic importers right now and we’ve seen a few new players from Asia and Europe enter the market recently. But ask yourself; why are they here now – where were they five years ago? The fact is these players are facing disappointing domestic market conditions; their manufacturing facilities are operating well under capacity so they need to look further afield to keep afloat.

That’s all well and good but what about when the market changes - perhaps their domestic market is improving or they are recognising new opportunities in other markets? Why would they continue to invest in exporting to the other side of the world when they’re experiencing more favourable conditions elsewhere?

It will be a case of increasing their prices and their lead times, cutting back on their product range or giving up completely to retreat to their domestic markets once again. And where does that leave you if your customer’s kitchen benchtop develops a crack or your large commercial development needs a few replacement wall panels and they can no longer get their hands on the product? It basically means you are stuffed.

Quality is another issue; I know that some products from overseas often fall well below the standards we at The Laminex Group think of as the norm. Take Asia for example – things have been good for them but that’s changing; labour and energy costs are rising so the only way to maintain prices is by re-engineering the product to compensate. Their products may look very convincing at first glance but dig a little deeper and you could find a vastly inferior product. It’s a bit like the fake Apple store in Kunming in China – apparently it’s so convincing that even some of the staff don’t know its fake! But what happens when the products pack up and the customers realise they have no warranty and nobody to complain to?

When things go wrong they may not feel they have had such a good deal after all.

So price is only ever a short term fix; for the long term look for companies that are committed to the market and have a strong history of delivering high quality warranty-backed products with consistent pricing and a good reputation.

The Laminex Group has been providing premium products (90% of which are currently NZ made) since the 1940s and we are proud to be part of the mighty Fletcher Building. But as our customers already know, offering good value for money isn’t just about products, it’s about service, expertise and flexibility too. With The Laminex Group, and other well-established Kiwi businesses, you don’t need to worry; we are here to stay, offering consistency and reliability to the market. As Coca Cola might say – “we’re the real thing”.

So, back to the sheep joke: There were these two sheep, and one of them walked into a baa …

AWISA 2014 on track in Brisbane The next AWISA exhibition is 14 months away, but the Australian Woodworking Industry Suppliers Association reports that space sales are proceeding well with over 60% of the space already booked.

“Many trade shows around Australia would be happy to be booked as well as this 4 months out, let alone 14 months out,” said AWISA general manager, Geoff Holland. “In the early part of our sales process we obviously concentrate on getting the big exhibitors involved. It is great to be able to report that the 12 biggest exhibitors from AWISA 2012 have all re-booked to be at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in August 2014. It takes 3 or 4 months to get each of these to choose their locations. So it won’t be until probably September of this year that we will be able to get others in the industry to book and choose their stands.”

The move to Brisbane, brought about by the re-development of the Sydney Exhibition Centre at Darling Harbour, will make AWISA 2014 a different event. For example, AWISA is talking to Queensland travel authorities and jointly will promote holiday packages so that those travelling from the August cold of many other parts of Australia (and New Zealand) will be encouraged to add a mid-winter break to their AWISA visit.

AWISA 2014 will take place from 6-9 August 2014 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. One of the reasons that AWISA has chosen this venue is because there are similarities to the Sydney facilities. It is close to the airport, and is serviced by a good range of hotels. The venue is part of the South Bank riverside precinct and there are about 30 cafes, restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk of the venue. Plus Brisbane’s CBD is just across the river from the South Bank precinct.

Any company wishing to enquire about exhibiting at AWISA 2014 is welcome to contact AWISA’s general manager, Geoff Holland, on +612 9918 3661 or email info@ awisa.com. 

SCM The latest advances in manufacturing – on your doorstep Straight from the Ligna exhibition to you.

With all the new advances in manufacturing just being released in Europe, Gabbett machinery are giving you the opportunity to see what’s new – right here in New Zealand.

F&J experience for Samet Gavin Harris has returned to the furniture & joinery sector with his appointed to the National Business Development Managers role for Samet NZ. Samet NZ are benefiting from Gavin’s sales and business development experience which includes two tenures with the countries largest distributor of panel & hardware (The Laminex Group). During these 10+ years Gavin has represented some of the leading hardware brands from around the world, to some of our countries largest, and smallest manufacturers. Gavin’s role was directly involved with the launching of the Samet product range into the NZ market in late 2011.

Gavin says that while Samet is a relative new entrant to the Australasian market it is a seriously successful global company, being the leading supplier in its home country of Turkey and many other European and Asian countries and is gaining momentum in key markets such as Germany, UK America and New Zealand.

Gavin comes with 26 years’ experience in the F&J and residential construction industries, starting out his career by achieving Advanced Trade Certificate in Cabinetmaking & Machining, his experience includes running his own small kitchen business, building high quality replica homes and working on interior cabinetry in some of the highest quality yachts built in this country.

Mirotone Beautiful Coatings The use of wood in residential homes and commercial projects continues to have appeal for home owners and designers. The range of wood types and choice of veneers allows a vast array of both decorative and structural options, with coatings the final icing on the cake also offering many options.

Mirotone has focused on the finishing of interior wood surfaces and offers many choices of coatings to fulfill the key aspects of durability; ease of application; aesthetic appeal.

For high UV environments the MIROTHANE Sunshield clear polyurethane is now providing a premium finish for many projects, where it is used to minimize the discoloration of wood through UV exposure, and offers a highly durable; easy care finish for residential and commercial work.

There is consumer demand in some sectors where the customer wants a finish “as natural as possible”, and so where ever possible water based products are used - both to minimise/eliminate odours, and to provide a clear finish without detracting from the colour of the wood substrate.

Traditionally wood furniture has been coated with clear lacquers or polyurethanes, but now with newer water based coatings these offer a very nice alternative with minimal VOC emissions. The coating provides protection and durability to the surface without changing, to any great degree, the natural colour of the wood. MIROTEC WB 8060 is such a coating. Quick drying, easy application, minimal yellowing, but with a tough resilient film to protect high quality furniture.

For wooden floors, the AQUAPRO Advance 2K is gaining wide acceptance because of its outstanding abrasion resistance, coupled with its non yellowing characteristic. This water based floor finish has very low VOC offering benefits to the consumer which include less time to complete the project because of faster drying; and lower odour meaning a more pleasant environment for both applicator and customer. Also within the water based category the MIROSTAIN WB wood stain range of 11 basic colours enables an extensive colour palette to be on created on floors by careful applicators. Again, the beauty of the wood is enhanced by these products.

The technology of water based coatings is improving year by year and will steadily gain ground on solvent based products as consumers adopt the “cleaner greener” concepts. 

Another one bites the dust ...

A

new Egmont Dust Extraction system was recently installed for Mackay Kitchens & Stairs in Christchurch.

Mackay Kitchens were forced into moving building after substantial earthquake damage was discovered in their previous premises.

The new building was much larger and that combined with the purchase of two new machines meant a whole new dust extraction system was needed.

Egmont Aircompleted a free on-site evaluation to determine their exact requirements and provide a solution that would provide optimum suction for the CNC and other machinery.

Another design consideration for Mackay’s was the need for a compact unit and a user-friendly method of collecting and discharging the dust.

The solution: a rotary-valve discharge into a typical waste-bin that can be quickly removed and emptied. The dust is contained from the machinery to the bin and this has created a clean dust-free workshop for Mackay Kitchens.

Timing of this project was critical. The original dust extraction system had to be removed from the existing building at short notice and the new system set-up in the new factory with minimum

disruption to production and in conjunction with machinery installers, compressed-air and other services. Chris Moore from Mackay Kitchens quotes “… Egmont Air had men on the ground ready to assist with the move, and eventually fitted a complete new set-up for the upgraded plant. They were efficient and easy to deal with.”

Egmont Air provides a free on-site evaluation service of your particular application. A preliminary scope is defined, documenting layout of machinery, known and problematic areas, issues, and future plans. The on-site evaluation covers 11 critical points including airflow and pressure testing where relevant.

Egmont Air provide the complete on-site service from ‘technical advice’ to ‘design & installation’ of turn-key projects.

A large range of products and solutions are available for the one-man joinery shops to large timber processors and sawmills anywhere in New Zealand. Egmont Air dust extraction systems are the favourite solution for wood-working factories such as timber processors, boat builders, solid-timber and MDF manufacturers, which require a ‘great value’ system that offers suction performance and energy savings.

Danish design in furniture Award winning furniture designer Simon Legald was recently in Auckland as a guest of local company Denmark Design who stock a range of furniture from Danish furniture manufacturer Normann. JOINERS Magazine took the opportunity to ask him a couple of questions. to develop as a designer, and for me it's all about learning, each time you design something you get more and more knowledge which can be used in future projects, and the good thing is you never stop learning.

What was the recent Award you won?

Simon Legald

How long have you been a furniture designer and how long have you worked for Normann?

I started at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Design in 2006 and graduated with a master degree this summer 2012, I started working with Normann a year before that.

What inspired you to become a furniture designer?

I always thought that I was going to work in the advertising business, but when I was about 14 years old, I analyzed an advertisement for a design chair and that was my first meeting with the term "design".

After high school I studied at "Krabbesholm Højskole", where I took a semester in art, and afterwards product design. This was where I realized that furniture/ objects are something that I want to spend my time creating.

What role do you have at Normann and what is it about your current employer that made you work for them?

Normann is for me a fresh view on design, it is syill a young company, a little over 10 years old, so a lot of things are happening within the company which you also see in all their new products.

So there is plenty of space for me

I won an award for "Best Upcoming Designer" by the Danish interior magazine "Bolig Magasinet".

If you were to pick three current design trends in the furniture sector, what would they be?

- back to simplicity - natural materials - combination of materials What role do you see the ‘green’ or ‘eco’ influence playing in future furniture design?

I think it will slowly play a bigger and bigger role, but it's going to take time. You see a lot of "focused eco" design on the market, but it tends to be driven only by the eco aspect, which makes it hard to produce and expensive.

I think in time more and more factories will start using more eco friendly materials, and think more about the pollution caused by manufacture of the products as we as consumers demand more. Then you will get to a level where it becomes attractive for companies to produce more eco friendly products - its all about supply and the demand.

The Scandanavian influence on furniture design, if there is one, how would you describe it?

Simplicity, minimalism and functionality. 

the Burns & Ferrall designer collection After 65 years supplying stainless steel sinks to the New Zealand market, Burns & Ferrall continue to be market leaders. They achieve this by playing close attention to where the current trends are heading both locally and overseas in the design meccas of Europe and as a result are constantly reviewing and refining their product offering. Their latest offering is the desirable yet affordable Designer Collection which incorporates three new sink ranges and the stunning Panama range. All products in this range have a minimum of 25mm corner radius which gives it the designer name. There is a wide range of bowl sizes available for everyone’s budget.

Designer R25 range The ultra-modern R25 undermount range offers minimal-radius bowls in 5 different bowl configurations. These sinks will enhance your kitchen space and integrate with other modern stainless steel appliances. These sinks are complimented by a range of tailored, functional, and attractive accessories, including: bamboo cutting board, dish drainer / basket, and a removable drainer tray. All of the accessory pieces incorporate the R25 radii theme.

Designer R15 range The R15 collection features deep, tight radius (R15mm) bowls. With our state-of-the art deep-drawing capability, we are able to produce sink bowls with tight geometry normally associated with a handfabricated sink, but the cost advantages of a pressed bowl product.

The R15 Collection is complimented by: tempered glass covers that enable you to reclaim your bench top space; various cutting board and colander options; and the recently released Concertina foldable grid.

The R15 sinks can be either top mounted, under mount or flush mount.

Designer R06 range The R6 collection is a geometric marvel especially suited to under mount, flush mounting or top mount installations with solid surface bench-tops. With numerous single and double bowl configurations, and generous bowl depths the R6 products will be the highlight of your kitchen. The R6 sinks have a neat R6 bottom radius to assist with draining and to make cleaning easier, combined with a perfect square 0mm radius right angle on the side corners creating the minimalistic look. All products are supplied with professional installation kits, and are packaged in tailored moulded styrene shells to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

R15

Designer Panama range The Panama "food preparation centre" is the pinnacle of modern kitchen design. It looks great and is supremely functional with numerous configuration options from the eight modules, including: cutting board set (3 boards), full stainless steel knife set (6), oil/wine bottle holders, food prep containers (set of 3), colander/ice bucket, and soap/lotion dispenser modules.

Bamboo W

hen fastidious home owners decided to renovate this kitchen in their 90 year old family home they decided that they didn’t just want any kitchen design, it had to reflect the beauty and dÊcor of their home. Given the age of the home the owners chose products to be as traditional as possible in their design scope, although for all that mod cons are neatly hidden away as well.

During the period in which the home was built benchtops were not made from stone or laminates, so wood was the natural choice. In keeping with this theme the owners decided they wanted a timber that was not just beautiful but one that would stand the test of time ... and grand children.

Because Enspire solid panels have distinctive qualities and edge features which add character to the bench tops it was an easy choice for the home owner. And, as bamboo is one of the worlds most sustainable building products the choice to use Enspire solid panels was even more satisfying.

Strong, straight, hard wearing and beautiful, Enspire bamboo panels are a very practical choice for any kitchen, regardless of age.

Enspire Bamboo solid panels with which the benches were constructed are distributed by Gibson Veneer and Plywood in Auckland. Call a member of the team on 09 838 3000 or email for a sample to sales@gvpnz.com

trends for timber veneers Laminex’s range challenges the traditional timber look

T

he renaissance of timber in interior design is well and truly here. The revolution is seeing timber becoming the material of choice to add flair, style and sophistication to any interior. Driving this radical new direction is the latest range of Laminex® Designed Timber Veneers. This latest innovation from Laminex pushes and explores the decorative nature of timber veneers, empowering designers, specifiers and homeowners to look beyond the traditional use for timber veneers and embrace their design potential.

Rich in character and visual appeal, Laminex has developed the Designed Timber Veneer (DTV) range, bursting with colours and designs to inspire individuality.

For awe-inspiring interiors, the DTV Range is designed to provide a consistent, seamless look for beautifully coordinated and styled interiors. Twelve decors in this range redefine the line between warm and cool hues, from the pale Chalked Oak and Blackbean Wave, to a selection of dusky decors like Wild Pecan, and Chalked Slate.

The Laminex Group’s Marketing Manager, Jared Dinneen, said the new range bids farewell to the traditional veneer look and provides a sophisticated and stylish alternative to solid wood. “The new range is the most directional range of timber veneers, spanning a good spectrum of tones, grain patterns and finishes that will have homeowners and designers using them in ways never imagined.”

“Whether it’s a hotel reception, bookshelf, retail fit out, coffee table or feature wall, Laminex Designed Timber Veneers will set the stage for looks that are dramatic, modern and stylish,” he said.

Available from July, the Laminex Designed Timber Veneer range can be used across a range of horizontal and vertical applications. All ranges come backed with warranties to ensure timeless looks will be the desire of others for years to come.

stainless steel The Steelfort Stainless Steel Bench The General Fabrication department within Steelfort Engineering Company’s Fabrication Division employs a diverse range of skills.

Welding

The design expertise takes the client’s or architect’s concept through the CAD computer aided drafting phase to the ‘lay flat’ drawings for estimation. Once the client and end customer have ‘signed off’ on the drawings and price, the order is processed and the project is sent to the CNC department for final programming.

From here the Computer Numeric Controlled guillotines, laser profile cutter, multi head “Turret” presses and various press brake folding machines work their magic. They are programmed to cut, profile, form and fold the basic components. It is now that our skilled trades staff join the process and components are welded and the surfaces polished to give the product its true shape.

Laser profile cutting

Press brake folding

The ‘under side’ now receives the attention of our joiners.

They fabricate the timber chassis of the bench by using a combination of plywood, multi layer MDF and extremely strong adhesives. In this penultimate phase, pressure is strategically placed on the surfaces to remove any trapped air to ensure a complete union of metal bench surface and timber under base.

The final phase is the Quality Control checks. Each product is measured and compared to the client’s documentation and visually scrutinised for any blemishes or imperfections.

Once the product has been cleared by ‘QA’, it is wrapped in bubble wrap and if required crated for dispatch.

The Fabrication Division offers its sophisticated machinery and experienced manpower to produce ‘one-off’ and ‘production run’ components in most materials. Whether it is a facade for architectural effect, a component for an OEM or a domestic fixture ... “if you can sketch it we will build it”.

Steelfort is proud to have the facilities, equipment and skilled staff to CNC cut, punch and fold precisely and repeatedly.

Turret press

Laser Profile Cutting. From very thin through to 10mm thick, the Laser will cut detailed designs out of almost any metal.

Press Brake Folding. Steelfort has four press brakes.

The maximum throat depth is 270mm on a blade length of 4250mm. As the back stops can move in two horizontal directions simultaneously, it can fold angles from 36 to 179 with up to 18 sequential steps.

Every Steelfort stainless steel kitchen bench is produced to meet individual requirements and design specifications. With a wide range of finishes available Steelfort will help make the most complex kitchen dream a reality.

Turret Press. Steelfort has two: 1 @ 15 ton and the other @ 20 ton. They will punch round or square holes, louvres or cowls.

here's no halting the triumphant march of the furniture flap in wall units. These flaps, which swivel elegantly upwards, fold or open parallel to the cabinet are simply too stylish and practical. They open up access to the entire cabinet interior, and there is no interfering hinged door jutting out into the room. The way in which innovative flap fitting technology engineered by Häfele will increase convenience and functionality in furniture manufacturing in the future was demonstrated by Häfele with its new “Free” flap fitting family at interzum in Cologne.

Free is a newly developed and independent range of fittings that is designed as a modular system, making them extremely flexible.

It covers all of the most popular opening movements with Free flap, Free fold, Free lift and Free swing. All of the flaps are smooth in opening and suitable for most popular front panel materials and flap sizes.

The Free flap range offers efficient installation - thanks to clip-on fronts and other quick fixing systems. The compatibility of many of the components also makes them extremely economical. Adjusting eccentrics make it possible for the front panels to be aligned in an optimum way and provide a homogeneous gap pattern.

All Free fittings have an integrated soft closing system for easy and gently closing. However, the trick here is that the soft closing system operates in both the opening and the closing direction. This makes operation of the flaps extremely easy and convenient, independently of the movement that is being made.

Free fold double flap lift up fitting Free fold makes it easy to create smoothrunning double flap lift up solutions, and is designed for 450 to 1040 mm high wall units.

The minimal opening resistance provides ease of opening, even with extremely heavy flaps. Optimum operating convenience is provided by the multi-position stop function.

This can be used to set the Free fold exactly to the individual flap weight so that the front

panel can be held in any position. The centre hinge has an integrated finger protection and adjusting facilities for exact alignment of the lower flap. Free Fold can be used in practically any common wall unit.

Free swing and Free swing E swing-up fitting Free swing is the ideal choice if the furniture flap is to be swivelled away upwards over the cabinet. It is suitable for 350 to 800 mm high wall units. This high-quality fitting is also characterised by the minimal opening resistance and the multi-position stop. Both the front panel and the cross bar can be installed without tools.

Free lift parallel lift-up front fitting The new Häfele Free lift parallel lift-up front fitting moves single-piece front panels upwards in front of the cabinet in a parallel position. It has been developed for 350 to 580 mm high wall units in kitchen, bathroom and living room furniture, and has the same functions as the other members of the flap fittings family.

With the Free flap fittings, Häfele has designed a system that is suitable for all common flap sizes and materials, covering all opening movements, with ease of installation. 

Sliding door systems from Hettich

W

hat do consumers think of sliding doors and what demands do they place on them? These are the questions at the focus of Hettich's market-research study. It clearly reveals that consumers' wishes and needs are the driving force behind the trend towards sliding doors in furniture design. Compared directly with other movements, they score in terms of ergonomics, functionality and design.

Ergonomics – benefits of sliding doors It's in everyday use that sliding doors show the strengths where the majority of consumers give sliding door the upper hand in the ergonomics and convenience stakes. And for good reasons: open sliding doors don't get in the way where space can be at a premium, such as in bedrooms and offices. Doors left open on wall units in kitchens and bathrooms are not likely to leave you injured.

Design – creativity with sliding doors Sliding doors are ideal for carrying modern spacious interior design through into furniture because large-surface doors provide the key to creating spaces while reducing necessary gaps to a minimum. The new InLine range for flush fitting unit fronts meets the most exacting demands on practical functionality and aesthetic appeal. It's the first sliding door system that manages without handles. Doors open in response to a light pull on the door's outermost edge. InLine XL for doors weighing up to 60 kg and InLine S for doors weighing up to 20 kg are ideal for a wide range of applications, not only in wardrobes but also in pantry units for high-end kitchens or mirrored cabinets in the bathroom. Infinitely variable soft-closing force, the option of flush opening doors as well as various adjustment options for perfect gap alignment are just some of the product qualities that make InLine systems a premium product.

Introducing SlideLine M, Hettich now offers a new single-track sliding door system for ringing the changes between open and closed sections in furniture. The system functions as a practical design element in living-room units, shelf systems, kitchen wall cabinets and bathroom furniture. In virtual silence, SlideLine M lets closefitting sliding door fronts weighing up to 30 kg glide back and forth with effortless ease on furniture of any type.

Once furniture is in place, the system can be mounted by just one person on all top panels in standard gauges of 16, 18, 22 and 25 mm.

Just one profile can be used for running two doors in front of shelf rows fitted one above the other. Optional soft-closing Silent System is integrated to leave it hidden out of view and the activation point can be positioned as chosen.

The top-running SysLine S sliding door fitting for inset doors impresses with its smoothly floating action and ease of movement.

Particularly quiet, smooth running performance helps to cut noise levels in the office. This can be optimised further with the Silent System for soft, automatic closure. As the mechanism is fully integrated in the runner profile, absolutely no storage space is lost. There are no profiles in the bottom panel either. This helps to provide a neat look and easy access to cabinet contents.

Functionality – what sliding doors need Hettich's study makes a clear statement: When it comes to cabinet doors, it's the practical aspects users attach importance to, particularly to ease of opening and closing. The benefit of linear movement provided with sliding doors should be combined with low forces needed to open them. Consumers also appreciate the convenience of soft and silent closing action. 

Blum on Interzum Blum NZ Manager Mike Hawkins reports on his company’s presence at interzum

W

e have been very happy with the show; with a very good turnout, the visitor numbers have been higher and more international than we anticipated. For New Zealand, we saw a number of visitors; some coming specifically for Interzum, and others combining their visit with Ligna.

antaro drawer and the TANDEMBOX intivo drawer released in New Zealand in 2010. The common use of the drawer sides mean the manufacturer has the ability to combine both drawer programs in one kitchen if they desire and they will not need to stock two different types of drawer sides.

From a global point of view the market is still difficult, but we are pleased overall and expect to again show growth in the 2012-2013 financial year. While the European market and economy remains reasonably buoyant, there is the feeling it is balanced right now at a point where it could tip at any time back into recession, or into a phase of strong growth.

From a Blum New Zealand perspective: I was very pleased with the new products which continue to be developed and released by Blum.

Our strategy of continued innovation even in these tough economic conditions will see a steady release of exciting new products each year into our market.

Tandembox antaro

Highlights of the show included: Of particular interest for the New Zealand market was Blum’s new award winning TANDEMBOX antaro drawer system, which we will be releasing in New Zealand in August.

It won the “2013 Interzum interior innovation award”

Tandembox antaro, the minimalist pull-out system with a rectangular gallery or also available as an enclosed drawer with gallery and design elements of various materials such as glass, metal, wood, etc.

This drawer system is based on the well known and proven TANDEMBOX plus drawer, which has been on the market in New Zealand now for 14 years. The new TANDEMBOX antaro drawer from a manufacturing point of view; is identical to the current TANDEMBOX drawer, with no changes required for the manufacturer.

All drilling and cutting dimensions remain the same.

Legrabox, Blum’s new box system with slim and straight side walls, had two models on show, both with the matching Ambia-Line inner dividing system. The first is Legrabox pure with matte, metallic side walls and the second Legrabox free with large design elements of, for example, glass. Legrabox’s runner system boasts a synchronised feather-light glide, low sag values, and lots more.

However from a design perspective the antaro drawer is completely new. Its characterised by a rectangular gallery and colour coordinated components.

LIGNA 2013

high-tech innovations and global participation The 20th LIGNA drew to a close in May, scoring impressive results across the board. “This event has resoundingly reaffirmed its status as the world’s foremost trade fair for the forestry and wood industries,” stated Dr. Jochen Köckler, member of the Managing Board at Deutsche Messe AG. “All the pieces were in place: outstanding exhibitors, highcaliber trade visitors, an abundance of innovations and outstanding international turnout on the part of exhibitors and visitors alike. More than 90,000 professionals from 100 nations attended. With everything from high-powered forestry machines to iPad-controlled furniture fabrication systems, the 1,637 exhibitors from 46 countries filled the 124,000 square meters of display space with a stunning array of high-tech innovations,” remarked Köckler.

Wolfgang Pöschl, CEO of Michael Weinig AG and Chairman of the German Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers’ Association, sized up LIGNA 2013 as follows: “We were especially impressed with the caliber of the international visitors. We experienced a major turnout by professionals from Eastern Europe, particularly Russia, and huge attendance from the U.S. and other key export markets. We are seeing strong demand for advanced machines with new functions, and are pleased to note that a great deal of momentum is coming from the wood construction sector, as a result its efforts to take sustainability to new heights.”

Efficiency was a keynote theme at this year’s fair leading suppliers revealed how high tech mixed with a little ingenuity can improve a company’s competitiveness. Other hot topics included a diverse range of printing processes, seamless veneer systems and adhesive-free plasma processes in the surface technology sector.

The special “lightweight.network” showcase at LIGNA focused on efficient lightweight construction including lightweight construction solutions which weigh up to 30 percent less than conventional chipboard and ideally suited to a wide range of applications in the furniture and interior finishing sector.

The “Bioenergy from Wood” segment at the event put the spotlight on uniform quality and processing standards for wood fuel materials, heat and electricity generation, enhanced logistics and services and ensuring a secure supply of raw materials.

Meanwhile, under the EXPO canopy and in the pavilion buildings, the focus was on sustainable forestry and forest technology. This included the sixth special presentation by the German Forestry Council (KWF). Topics covered included digitization and high-speed data flows along with a wide range of applications for convertible forestry vehicles and getting the most out of wood through optimum material flow management as well as sorting and processing. The many and varied uses for wood chips were the keynote theme under the EXPO canopy.

The next LIGNA will be staged from 11 to 15 May 2015, once again in Hannover, Germany.

Laser Edge hot air system for Format4 edgebanders

Laser Edge from Felder Group draws crowds Felder released their new Laser Edge hot air system for Format4 edgebanders at the Ligna fair. Felder laser edge is available on the top end Format4 range of inline edgebanders.

This new system for zero glue line edgebanding sees laser edge co extruded tape applied with compressed hot air creating a perfect joint between tape and panel.

The co extruded laser edge tape is coated with a special polymer layer applied at the time of manufacture, it is this special polymer that reacts to laser treatment and bonds the tape to the substrate providing a joint with zero visible glue line. This same laser tape can be used on the new Format4 models and is activated instead by the heat of the compressed air rather than a laser beam.

While Laser edge tape has been around for some time in Europe and recently in Australia with machines from German manufacturer IMA the cost of the laser unit itself has been a barrier to its uptake with machines installed going to large manufacturers.

Felder have overcome this price barrier by introducing an alternative activation process using compressed air heated to a very high temperature this activates the polymer by heat rather than by laser beam, the results are very similar in appearance to laser activated edges but at a much lower level of investment.

The results are truly superior to traditional EVA or PUR and while the laser edge tape has not been released in New Zealand at the time of writing the first of the machines are already on the horizon particularly considering the standard glue pot option remains allowing for traditional low cost edging of carcase work etc using EVA or PU glues.

Leitz VectorCut Sawblade

Leitz WhisperCut PLUS

Leitz DT Hogger PLUS

The new VectorCut panel sizing sawblade has been developed by Leitz Tooling to increase production efficiency when sizing single panels and panels in stacks.

The new WhisperCut PLUS pre-milling cutter from Leitz Tooling was unveiled at Ligna 2013.

Leitz has developed the new generation of DT Hogger PLUS for even greater efficiency with guaranteed excellent cut results on all materials and surfaces.

Designed with new tooth and gullet geometry the tooth shape remains constant from the first to the last cut and is re-sharpenable up to 15 times. The tooth shape with a reduced abrasive area of 50% both lowers the power consumption and increases the performance time. The innovative gullet geometry ensures efficient chip clearance and up to 3 dB(A) in noise reduction.

T h e Ve c t o r C u t p a n e l sizing sawblades with their intelligent tooth and gullet geometry achieve 30% higher performance time and 10% energy saving.

The existing design of the WhisperCut cutter has been improved for even greater efficiency taking it to the next level. The re-sharpening area of the replaceable diamond knives has been substantially increased so they can be sharpened up to 10 times.

The reduced weight of the reusable aluminium tool body combined with the optimisation in body shape creates a considerable noise reduction of up to 5 dB(A).

It also lessens the spindle load protecting the spindle bearings.

DFC® technology guarantees trouble free chip ejection and excellent chip collection in excess of 95%.

With an increase in the sharpening area it is now resharpenable up to 12 times.

The DT Hogger PLUS maintains a constant cutting width over the hogger’s total life cycle. The new cutting and gullet geometry with irregular pitched teeth reduces noise by up to 3 dB(A). This new geometry together with the stable tool body design also reduces vibration.

DFC® technology ensures reliable chip clearance and outstanding chip collection on all materials.

finger touch control G erman panel-based specialists Homag Group had another successful LIGNA, using the world’s biggest woodworking fair to launch their new powerTouch system. Available in NZ towards the end of the year the new touch screen operating concept combines design with function, and combines with the powerControl system to provide the ultimate in customer benefit. The focal feature of the system is a large full HD multitouch monitor in wide-screen format, at which machine functions are controlled by direct touch contact.

Customer expectations of ever higher processing quality with the disappearance of visible joints continues to grow. Alongside office and bathroom furniture manufacturers, kitchen firms are also focusing their attention on the laserTec method with feed rates of up to 52 m/min, and extremely high levels of productivity and flexibility with high volume output. For lower feed rates, Brandt offers airTec – where compressed hot air is applied close to the point where both panel and edging material come together.

AirTec is the ideal solution package affording entry into the world of zero joint technology – with almost identical results to lasterTec in terms of quality and appearance.

3D structured surfaces Weinig machines have previously offered random structured surfaces like imitation weathering, but the latest development in cnc moulder technology allows the design of decorative or functional surfaces with help of CAD/CAM software.

Two top spindles run independent cnc programs across the entire working width, and a routing unit further increases flexibility. The speed and finish of a moulder combined with the flexibility of CNC control opens up a wide range of potential applications.

Optilink – 2D scanning There has always been debate surrounding optimization – do you rip first, or chop first? Weinig’s new Optilink controlled workcell gives the best of both worlds with a true 2D optimization of random width boards. In-going timber is scanned top and bottom, and products are placed around defects to optimise value. The board is then ripped, but scanned again on 4 sides before chopping – a chance to confirm the optimizing solution from the first scanner, now that all sides are visible. If a piece is rejected, the Optilink system subtracts it from the production count and sends it to be re-ripped. Finally, a Dimter saw crosscuts the final parts, and a sorting line organizes individual products. With timber processing lines reaching very high speeds, process control and smart handling continues to be a major focus and key advantage of Weinig.

Structured surfaces

New Conturex The Conturex joinery CNC centre continues to go from strength to strength. With over 250 machines now in operation worldwide, Weinig is still aggressively developing this technology. In the new Conturex 125 Vario, the complex processes of window and door production have been carefully optimised to enable a further performance increase of up to 20%.

This performance doesn’t cost production flexibility though – open interface formats like BTL and XML will keep your CAD staff happy, and a significant reduction tool change time means that even small batches are processed swiftly. If that’s not enough, the new Conturex has demand oriented spindle drives, and even captures and re-feeds its braking energy to save you costs off the bottom line.

Pushfeed saw developments Dimter have been busy putting new bells and whistles onto the popular Opticut S90 push feed saw. A new version, the S90 Superdrill, allows crosscutting and either drilling or milling to be performed in a single pass. The outfeed also sees several new options - an IPPC branding iron installed in the outfeed can burn a logo into parts before sorting, and a new package stacker can stack fixed lengths. 

maybe 15 minutes from design to cutting Cabinet Vision is perfect for businesses wanting to automate their operations. It allows you to automatically generate your shop drawings, 3D customer renderings, cutting lists, material requirements, estimating and CNC machining. The software uses solid modelling technology to create true three-dimensional presentations of the final product on-screen, while simultaneously generating the necessary information for the shop floor. Joiners Magazine spoke to Christchurch user Ryan Butler.

When Ryan Butler from Ryans Kitchens in Christchurch upgraded his nesting system two years ago he decided he wanted a fully automated process from design to production.

His previous nesting set up had been efficient in its day but still required considerable input between design and manufacture.

Cabinet Vision keeps the simple tasks easy and makes the complex jobs possible

Having purchased a new Biesse Skill 1836 to go alongside his earlier and smaller Biesse, Ryan knew the importance of getting the software right with such a large capital purchase. He researched his options and after talking to Phil Smith of Joinery It, who supply Cabinet Vision in NZ, he went with their latest option, largely for three reasons.

“It promised what I wanted, which was to use the information inputted at design all the way through to the manufacturing process, secondly it looked to be the simplest of those I looked at in terms of learning and use, and thirdly, Phil gave me a test key to trial the software for three

“I now run both our nesting machines on it and the performance has been great. Like all software we have had the odd issue but our staff are pretty proficient in its use and with Phils’ help when required any problems have usually been quickly sorted.

“Where I am impressed with this system is that alongside its simplicity it is very fast, everything happens simultaneously, make a change in one place and any necessary changes are made elsewhere. If we wish to or have to, we can get a design through to the machine very quickly - maybe 15 minutes from design to cutting.” 

buying quality & precision European woodworking machinery manufacturer Felder’s range of small classical woodworking machinery is comprehensive with models to match pocket and production. JOINERS Magazine spoke to two owners of smaller businesses, who have recently bought Felder machinery, about their purchase and their satisfaction with the results.

DL Cabinetmaking Dean Lucas started DL Cabinetmaking in early 2010 soon after his return from Australia. The company employs him and one other and they have been busy since start up manufacturing kitchens as well as furniture.

“A lot of our work comes from architects and we are often required to do a complete house lot which can include inbuilt and free standing furniture as well as bench and table tops. We also offer solid timber edges in our kitchens as an alternative to tape so the thicknesser gets a fair amount of work and when our old one had bearing issues late last year I decided that repair was no longer an option and needed a replacement quickly.”

Dean was always going to look closely at a Felder to replace it with. “I had used a Felder thicknesser previously when I worked in Australia and have a very good opinion of them, they are sturdy accurate and very easy machines to use and very competitively priced.”

“I decided that the Felder D 951 suited my purposes and pocket perfectly, but unfortuneatly John Fleet at Machines R Us who are the NZ agents for Felder didn’t have any in stock and I was looking at 2-3 months wait while it was shipped out. The problem was solved when John lent me a second hand thicknesser until ours arrived in February.”

“Installation was easy. John checked and calibrated it on delivery then I simply picked it up brought it home and plugged it in. It has performed brilliantly. The build and attention to detail reflect its European origins. It is easy and quick to set and provides as good a finish as you’ll see from more expensive machines.”

Ngkari Timber Tom Riddell runs a small furniture making and joinery business out of Whangarei specialising largely in one off jobs for locals with a lot of his business coming through word of mouth. He also maintains his own small plantation of Blackwood trees.

Until recently he had been using an old Casadei saw which did the job well but was fairly old and required a lot of time in set up and change over. Tom decided it was time to upgrade to more specialised and modern machinery.

Tom wanted the greater flexibility and versatility offered by a thicknesser and a saw and decided two seperate machines was the way to go. Internet research and reviews along with discussion with fellow woodworkers led Tom to Felder, attracted by its European reputation for quality and durability and wide range on offer.

Following contact with Felders’ NZ distributor Machines R Us, Tom ended up purchasing a Felder KF 700 saw and spindle combination with a 2050mm sliding table saw and a tilting shaft spindle moulder as well as a Felder AD 531 planer/ thicknesser with a morticing attachement.

Four months later Tom is very happy with his purchases. “They are both great machines and I am enjoying and am suprised by their accuracy and reproducibility.

Set up time are considerably reduced and the versatilty with the two machines is really useful. I quite often have a number of project happening at the same time and it is very easy to move from one project to another, on either machine, and then back again without having to spend a lot of time resetting. I would also advise anyone considering the thicknesser to certainly look at the spiral head cutter blade option - the finish it gives is fantastic.”

“I purchased these machine because they promised improvements in the efficiency, and quality of my work as well as versatility in planning and production. That has definietly occurred and I expect to be working my own Blackwood plantation with them when the trees mature in another decade or so.”

dvanced Kitchen (NZ) Ltd operates out of two units in a quiet cul-de-sac in Manukau. The company has been producing custom-made kitchens, as well as laminate and granite benchtops, since 1996. Managing Director Sukhdev Singh started the business with his wife, beginning with a dimension saw, and since then they have grown to an operation of around 7 staff. As well as Sukhdev, who designs the kitchens, there a two staff on the factory floor, two next door working on the benchtops and two out installing.

“Our business comes from word-of-mouth and recommendations” says Sukhdev. “We cater to a wide range of customers, and we make sure that the first job we do means they will recommend us to others, and come back to us next time.” The company’s ethos is a simple one. “We use good machines to do a good, quick job. Without good machines we can do a fast job, but not a good one.”

Advanced Kitchen’s most recent investment is certainly a good machine. Made in Italy, it is one of Griggio’s flagship range of panel saws – the UNICA 400. With a powered fence and 3.8’ touch screen, the UNICA 400 features three axis programming – blade rise and fall, blade tilt, and fence positioning. As well as having Griggio’s wide and smooth-running sliding table with multiple-position locking, the saw features a cross cut fence and support swivel of up to plus or minus 47°. With crosscut stop position compensation for when the outrigger table and crosscut fence are swivelled, this means the required workpiece length is maintained no matter where the fence is.

The change to the company’s speed of production has been immediate, says Sukhdev. A senior staff member is one of the saw’s main operators, and says learning to use the touchscreen and functions has been easy. Sukhdev also confirms that the saw is quicker. “With our old saw everything moved – and at every change we had to move everything. The Griggio is automatic. Easy.” Just not having to walk around the end of the saw to change the fence position immediately saves a significant proportion of time for each job.

Those working on the factory floor all share the work, and are all competent on the Griggio saw, as well as the recently purchased Brandt 1220C edgebander nearby. Sukhdev is clearly proud of the machinery his company operates, and the speed and quality of result each machine is capable of. “The market is growing for us. There is good work around, and we now have bigger machines working faster. We have the Brandt with corner rounding, so no more corner rounding by hand” he says, gesturing at a dusty no-longer used corner rounder. “We have a quality saw. We will continue to grow. Bigger machines mean bigger profits”.

Traditionally the company contracted out the one or two solid timber doors they got as part of a bulk order. While it meant they were sacrificing margin, without the skill or machinery in-house they had no choice. However last year they decided to start manufacturing their own solid timber doors. They purchased a Holytek tenoner, a Griggio spindle moulder and a Beta – the CNC chisel mortiser from Centauro, in Italy. The decision to buy the Beta was a simple one says Manager Nathan Gaskill. “We don’t have a joiner in house, and solid timber doors traditionally require a skilled joiner. But for what we need to make – reasonably simple solid timber doors – our suite of machinery can produce the quality result we need.”

Nathan has been the primary operator of the new solid timber machinery, and despite having no joinery background he has picked up the necessary skills to move the company into this new solid wood market. “Although I don’t have the traditional skills of a joiner, I can run a PC, so the Beta makes getting a quality result simple”.

Nathan is perhaps modest about his own skills and capabilities in the workshop, but there’s no disputing the ease-of-use of the Beta. With a graphic touch screen, a large library of macros for repeated jobs, and the ability to adjust parameters on the fly, the machine takes a fraction of the time to mortise a door – or window – when compared to the ‘old-fashioned’ way.

“This machine has huge capacity we’re not using at present” explains Nathan. “I can prepare the stiles for a one or two lite door, in just a few minutes.” Nathan points out one of the functions that takes the complexity out of his work. “There’s an auto-spacing button,“ he explains. “The Beta will automatically take the number of mullions or rails required for a multiple lite door, and space them evenly – while taking into account the different height of the bottom and top rails.

No measuring needed”.

Door Makers Ltd are not using their Beta much each week, but it is already paying for itself by removing the need for extra skilled labour.

Nathan explains some other benefits too. “We have room to move on pricing now. Previously if we knew part of a job had to be contracted out then our flexibility in pricing was limited. Also we’re not at the mercy of another supplier and have full control over lead times.”

Low Noise Solutions mean easier, finer as well as quieter cutting Tungsten & Tool’s Low Noise Sawblades ...

With stricter OSH laws in Europe and the UK enforcing new legislation promoting the reduction of factory noise pollution, Freud are actively providing the answer.

In Europe, Health & Safety regulations require you to issue personal protection equipment to workers assigned to machines with noise emissions of over 80 db.

The leading Italian saw blade manufacturer, Freud SpA has provided an amazing solution ... industrially sound proofed tooling. Freud have patented a system for sound proofing its blades, thus lowering the sound emission to below 80 db as required

by OSH as the attenuation threshold for noise in your factory.

1. Unique anti-vibration reeds are laser cut into the blade body.

2. Special essential Thermo-Plastic Polyurethane compound is then injected into the slots to provide sound dampening and vibration absorption.

This stabilises the blade and practically eliminates lateral movement of the blade against the material. This results in a quieter, smoother cut with a superior finish and a longer cutting life ... and a blade that is much more enjoyable to use.

Silver ICE coating ...

This High Performance and Anti-Corrosive coating, approx 6 microns thick is bonded (not painted) to the whole body of the blade. It is extremely effective thanks to its non-stick features, which greatly improves chip ejection and reduces the resin build up

close to the tips. With this coating, the tool undergoes reduced stresses while cutting, thus leading to improved performances and longer lasting sawblades.

Call Tungsten & Tool on 0800 488 647 Premium Hardened Saw Bodies ...

Freud saw blade bodies are hardened to 45HRC – measurably harder – more rigid, therefore more inherent accuracy and again, less movement which means less noise.

Super Tooth ...

Freud SpA, not satisfied with the uniformity or performance of standard grades of carbide for their saws produce their own tungsten tips. This enables them to produce carbides specially formulated for enhanced saw blade performance – hence SuperTooth. Each Super Tooth has: • 30% increased thickness = more sharpenings • Special anti corrosion additives. Thermal corrosion is one of the biggest single causes of early edge loss • Each tip is brazed with a silver/copper/ silver foil giving exceptional tip adhesion and enhanced impact resistance.

Enjoy your sawing operations more with the Low Noise Sawblades. The Low Noise technology is available for all blades – ripping, cross cutting, fine cutting, melamine cutting, aluminium cutting, plastics cutting.

Natural - a look at finishes for wooden floors F

or those lovers of the natural look of wooden floors there are a variety of ways to attain and retain that look of natural clarity and depth.

There are three main surface systems for solid and engineered wood flooring: traditional oil/ soap based, wax based and solvent and water based polyurethanes. Each of these systems have their merits in the main determined by just how much time and money one wants to spend on the wooden floor concerned. The important difference appears to lie in the degree of penetration or otherwise of the finish applied to the timber surface.

Both traditional oil based natural penetrating oils from WOCA Denmark and oil/wax based like those from German made Osmo such as Polyx®-Oil offer a penetrative finish: oil based a non film building deeper penetration providing for a warm natural appearance while oil/wax based provides a penetrative coating as well as a microporous surface layer for a similar effect.

Both these systems allow for a ‘firing’ of the wood, for degrees of protection inside and outside the

timber, and can be easily partially renovated. Both don’t crack, flake, peel or blister either.

Solvent and water based systems like polyurethane provide a protective, often thick sealing layer which provides a tough, durable and hardwearing surface - similar to wrapping the floor in cling film. It doesn’t do too much to ‘enrich’ the wood but for its initial start in life it has relatively low maintenance. A big plus from an application point of view is that it is quick drying and either moisture cured or water based.

For these reasons it is often used in high traffic areas like restaurants and pubs but the pitfall is the quick deterioration of the look and it cannot be partially repaired: it must be re-sanded and treated as one and it can crack, flake, peel and blister if you not careful.

Application and maintenance When you look at the issues of application and maintenance, again, you have to go back to the degree of penetration of the finish.

The oil based finish probably has a deeper penetration of the timber and looks wise is longer lasting and after a soap cleaning regime offers good moisture protection.

JOINERS Magazine June 2013 page 42

Oil/wax based products offer probably better initial water resistance against fluids. The big advantage for both these two systems when compared to polyurethanes is that they can be easily maintained, so long as you use the maintenance products recommended by the manufacturers involved.

Traditionally, the problem with most oil and wax finishes is that they need maintenance. The new generation of products such as the natural floor finishes from WOCA Denmark and Polyx®-Oil from Osmo are far more durable with buffing bringing them back to

original and spot treatment being very effective. Regular cleaning & maintenance though is still a must.

Repairable floor finish v’s floor coating Wear and tear is a major selling point with oil and wax based floor finishes. Oil and water based polyurethanes coatings don’t chemically bond well to previous layers so touch ups only grip where the surface has been thoroughly scuffed. Colour matching, especially when using solvent based polyurethanes, can be difficult. Re-sanding can’t be good for a engineered wooden

WOCA is certified by the Institute of Biological Building Materials in Germany (IBR).

floor, after all, it grinds away the wood. Three to four sandings is typical. Some floors only get two sandings then the floor needs to be replaced. Timing when to resand is just as important as doing a good resanding.

The cost of preserving a wooden floor over its natural lifespan

can be considerably less when using penetrating oil & oil/wax compared to polyurethane based products. The key word here is preserving: maintaining the natural look and ‘life’ of the timber and no one is saying such preservation is cheap. Having a repairable floor finish aka a penetrating oil or wax finish

means you can keep the finish in good shape a lot longer through easily carried out spot repair.

In this day and age you can’t forget the health aspects either. Having environmentally friendly products is where it is at. Woodcare (WOCA) Denmark product for example is all independently

At the end of the day it comes down to what level of finish the end user wants to achieve and that it can be achieved in a safe manner. Clear finishes for the wooden floor have moved ahead leaps and bounds in recent years.

There are a lot of variables to consider so to get the right finish for any particular job it pays to talk to the experts and that usually means the manufacturer. 

Machine operator Adam Fairmaid (left) with David Street in front of the CNC.

getting busier and getting better When in 2011 David Street moved from a career in senior management at a Canterbury based building society to proprietorship of an established kitchen and wardrobe making business he used his management and IT skills along with the ideas and experience of existing staff to substantially revamp the business in preparation for the Canterbury rebuild. This included substantial change to the factory layout and a change to a nesting set up.

David realised when purchasing the business that skilled staff would become hard to find and he needed to position the company to be able to increase workload without increasing staff.

Much as in the banking system, he would use technology and systems to be more efficient.

Essentially this meant a complete revamp of the business. He rearranged workflow through the factory so jobs flowed smoothly from raw materials to cutting, edging, assembly and despatch. To facilitate this he installed racking systems that gave better access to board and improved stock control, he purchased a forklift to speed up the receipt of the board and avoid manual lifting, and he purchased a CNC nesting machine around which the rest was set.

The company had already been contemplating nesting and had short listed a Biesse, so David continued down that track. He liked their reputation for quality and service, liked the way their machines integrated with design, production and accounting software and got good word from others in the business about their quality and durability before purchasing a new Biesse Skill 1224 in the middle of last year.

“The Biesse and the new set up has really revitalised the factory,” says David.

JOINERS Magazine June 2013 page 44

“Along with the Biesse we use Pro 100 software for design and production which enables our designers to quickly quote on jobs with great accuracy and then hand the kitchen over for manufacture with little extra work. Consequently we have both sped up production and improved costs. But perhaps more importantly we have significantly reduced the build time and are now able to leave manufacture as late as possible. Particularly good for us as we don’t have the space to hold kitchens waiting for delivery and installation.

The machine also fits the site, it is small and fits in nicely with the operator also able to look after the edgebander next to it.”

While the company hadn’t had experience with nesting before the learning curve wasn’t too daunting although it did also require a change in construction methods to suit the flow and set up.

“Biesse were very helpful in getting us up and running, fortunately our operator had had some exposure to nesting before and just got on with it - within a couple of weeks he was doing the simpler work and over the last year has built an extensive library that requires less and less by way of addition as we go on.

David now believes the company is well placed to handle more work as the Christchurch rebuild kicks in, without requiring a big increase in staff. He is indeed cautiously optimistic about the coming year reporting signs of people deciding to do up their kitchen alongside house repairs. According to David the trick is to be ready to do it when they (the main contractors) are ready to go.

“Part of the problem in Christchurch is that many players are not used to being this busy which can create hold ups in manufacturing and installation caused by anything from builder delays to material hold ups. Hopefully as everybody gets used to being busier this will improve with contractors able to better synchronize their work and suppliers being prepared to carry higher stock levels.

Then with the short turn around times enabled by the purchase of the Biesse Skill we will be well placed to produce quality, competitively priced kitchens at short notice, as required.”

Betta invest in cnc technology Betta Kitchens’ owner Mike Hill has the best of both worlds. From his factory door is a stunning rural view: with Mount Cook and the Southern Alps to the south and east, the crashing breakers of a wild west-coast beach are just over the fence. But turn and look inside and there is the latest in kitchen-manufacturing technology – an AscentProSuperNest CNC. Working throughout the West Coast, Mike says his work comes in via word of mouth. Many businesses claim the same thing, but augment their customer base with slick websites and corporate branding. But in Betta Kitchens case there’s no disputing this claim. With no signage, no branding and not even a business card Mike really is getting work by reputation. “It keeps you honest” he says with a shrug.

kitchen. Now after some planning and drawing it up on the pc, less than four hours later, it’s been cut, pre-drilled and edgebanded.

With a background in building, Mike hadn’t planned to start a kitchen business. “When I bought this house I used the large workshop to store the machinery for a friend of mine who is a joiner,” he explains. “Over time I found myself using the gear more often – including making kitchens for friends. And it sort of grew from there. And hey – when I get to 60 I’d rather be inside making kitchens than pouring concrete in the rain.” He hasn’t entirely given up the building.

“Somehow I seem to end up doing a lot of building work alongside installing a kitchen” he says. “The last job involved moving two walls, putting up gib and the like, before I could put the kitchen in.”

Mike’s core business is bespoke kitchens and wardrobes. But as he grows more confident with the capabilities of his software and SuperNest he sees his range of work expanding.

As his kitchen business developed, Mike weighed up his options. “I was seriously considering investing in a franchise,” he says. “Or I could invest in a CNC.” He chose the latter, particularly because it meant he owned a machine – and therefore the profits it would generate. Mike chose an AscentPro SuperNest, from Jacks.

Pitched as an entry level machine the SuperNest is a surprisingly heavy-duty machine for the money. With a six station tool changer, twin Japanese servo-drives on the x-axis and a userfriendly MACH 3 controller, the machine offers a level of accuracy and componentry often only found on European machines. It can be matched with any design software, and Mike opted for Cabinet Vision.

As a self-confessed computer novice, Mike knew the change from panel saw to CNC manufacture would take some work, and sensibly he’s started

JOINERS Magazine June 2013 page 46

I’m still using mortice and tenon joints – and the only change I’ve made to my construction method is moving to 16.5mm backs. But my waste bin is half what it used to be, and I’m definitely using less coloured board for the fronts.”

Mike Hill is honing his skills on the AscentPro.

carefully. “There’s a lot to learn” he explains.

“In the early days I’d find an error and I’d get really frustrated at it. But a quick call to Jacks, or Cabinet Vision and they’d talk me through it.”

Now he’s grown more familiar with the SuperNest Mike finds he can work through most issues via the phone or online with a Jacks technician over TeamViewer. “We had a few issues at installation” says Mike. “The Mach 3 controller was a new feature, and as mine was one of the first machines installed there were a few bugs to be ironed out.

But having used it, I’m pleased I’ve got it.”

In retrospect he’s also very happy to have opted for a tool changing machine. “I thought about buying a cheaper, spanner-change machine, but now I’m very pleased I spent the extra money. It makes things so much simpler, and being able to walk away and work elsewhere while it’s routing and then drilling is a real time saver.”

Along with the arrival of the CNC has come all the usual benefits of ‘Nesting’. “It’s just like having another person in the workshop” says Mike. “Previously I would make a kitchen in pieces. I’d usually build the base units first, then perhaps the overhead cupboards. All up it would usually take a couple of days to cut and edge a full

“I can see all sorts of potential – most of which I will be keeping to myself for now!” he says. “But I’ve already had a few jobs pop up unexpectedly: fitting out tradesmen’s vans, producing shaped customwood panels for local artwork. I’m certainly not going to restrict myself to just kitchens and wardrobes – flexibility of work is one of the reasons I bought a CNC. So whatever it’s capable of – plastics, acrylic, for example – I’ll give a go. But it’s early days yet – and I want to develop my own skills and the kitchen market first.”

With his sensible, calculated plan of expansion Mike Hill is preparing Betta Kitchens for a better time for the Coast, when mines aren’t closing and dairy farmers aren’t struggling after a drought. But one thing can’t get any better, and that’s what he gets after loading a sheet on his SuperNest and turns around: the view.

CNC operators diminishing returns when passing on knowledge New Zealand is suffering from a shortage of skilled CNC operators, ask any company that has a CNC machine and they will all say that CNC operators are hard to come by. Why is this when the woodworking industry has used these machines for many years, what has happened and what can be done about it? Anthony Scammell from Design2Cam gives us his insight.

The answer is that over the years companies have had CNC machines installed and they have trained someone in their workshop to use this machine, this training has typically been done by the machinery company selling them the CNC machine. This one operator has not only had to learn the operation of the machine, but in many cases also how to create the programs to run on the machine. This is a steep learning curve for anyone, especially when you consider that the first CNC machines where upwards of $1 million.

So these new operators got used to the machine and "worked out" how to do certain things and so everything looked great and the work seemed to run smoothly.

Then another company purchased a CNC machine and they decided it would be better to employ someone that had some experience on a CNC machine to shorten the learning curve so they "poached" an operator from the company that had previously purchased a CNC machine.

This then left the first company without their "experienced" CNC operator, so they did what any employer would do they got another guy from the factory and before the operator left they got him to teach the guy all he knew about the machine and programing. This sounds a good idea and means that the factory continues without any hiccups.

However what has happened is that the "trained" operator who only remembered 80% of what he was taught (if he was lucky), has passed on that 80% to the new guy who now possibly only remembers 50% of that 80% or even worse only knows how to do the work they currently do.

So the company then gets a new contract with different machining and the new operator (maybe even the old one as well) does not know how to do the work, he

the "trained" operator who only remembered 80% of what he was taught has passed on that 80% to the new guy who now possibly only remembers 50% fumbles through and eventually (hopefully) manages to get the work through the factory, but not as efficiently as it should.

Now consider what happens as this second-hand trained operator leaves and another one is trained by him and so on, slowly you find that the person operating the machine only knows enough to make it go. Each time the information is passed on it gets distorted and not everything gets passed on, slowly diminishing the amount the operator actually knows about the machine and the software. This is not very good for the business and can slow the production considerably. Where is the efficient manufacturing now.

The answer is smart thinking and great contracts. If you are going to put a person through the training, you are committing to support them for the 12 months duration of the NZQA CNC strand, so the same contract should have a clause that states if the person leaves your employment within say 2 years of the completion of the certificate they have to repay a certain amount to your company as compensation.

your factory staff so they can all operate the CNC machine, then you will never have the issue of the factory slowing due to the lack of a skilled CNC operator.

We need the employers to break the circle of the shortage of CNC operators, once this cycle is broken then everyone will gain, instead of training just one operator, train two so that if one is sick or on holiday someone can take his or her place, better still upskill all

You are not allowed to drive a car, truck, motorbike or forklift without a licence, so why should you use a CNC machine without an NZQA certificate, it is just as dangerous.

When your staff are trained the factory will run much more efficiently, which in turn will mean a better bottom line for the business. It will also mean happier staff which will mean they will not be tempted to look elsewhere.

ďƒŒ

So what is the answer?

The answer is that New Zealand needs more qualified and trained CNC operators, people that have had formal training, that have a certificate to confirm that they are a CNC operator. The benefits of this are huge for any business, efficient manufacturing being the major benefit, confident staff and with more CNC operators in the market less poaching and longer service to a company.

But you say - if as a company I spend money to train the operator all he will do is go off and work for someone else or demand more money when he has gained his certificate - this is no different to the situation of an apprentice served cabinet maker, carpenter or joiner.

Quality sliding & folding door hardware F olding and sliding doors have been a focal point in recent years and for good reasons. They allow designers to make the best use of indoor and outdoor spaces, something that is rated highly

by New Zealanders who value indoor-outdoor living.

Centor, a Brisbane company which has been an innovator in this area has not had a high profile in New Zealand but this is changing. Centor has been known for creating the finest sliding door hardware available since 1951 with systems which are reliable, versatile and offer fingertip operation. In recent years Centor has been at the forefront of developing Bifolding door systems and now the benefits of these doors are widely known.

Centor has never been content to make an adequate product and has always lifted the game. The company holds many patents and design awards and many of it’s ideas have become industry

standards such as the use of equal panel sizes in bifold doors. When other door gear manufacturers required up to 3 different panel widths, Centor found a way to have just one! Recently Centor became the first company to offer bottom rolling bifold systems.

The F2 and F3 systems offer an alternative solution to top hung systems for challenging designs such as in renovation or height limited jobs.

Centor is known for innovation and quality. Home owners with Centor equipped doors often comment about the ease of operation and longevity of the designs and there are many Centor doors which have been in operation for decades.

Unique Hardware Solutions has been supplying hardware products, specifically for timber windows and doors since 1998.

Founding director Stephen TetleyJones has always looked for products which provide value and performance and is thrilled with the addition of Centor to the company’s range.

“We always seek to work with hardware manufacturers whose values mirror our own. We are proud to be Centor’s New Zealand distributor and look forward to seeing Centor achieve success in New Zealand as it has done in Australia, Britain and the United States.”

Centor has paid particular attention to the needs of the joiner. Many hardware brands try to offer the cheapest hardware but pay little attention to the less tangible costs. Joiners well know that ease of use, consistency, adjustability, reliability and speed of installation are also important

cost components with potential to be much greater than the cost of the hardware. Centor’s proven designs mean fewer calls to site and they speed the installation and adjustment of doors, something that is especially relevant to the light timber construction common in this country.

“What joiner hasn’t been called out to adjust a door only to find the frame has moved. Centor systems make adjustment easy and reduce callouts. You can take that to the bank!” says Mr Tetley-Jones.

Though the folding and sliding door gear market has become confused and crowded of late, the re is room for genui ne innovation and quality backed by excellent service. Centor is not standing still and continues to come up with new ideas. Watch this space!

Customwood SuperFinish gains a Blue Butterfly Daiken NZ Ltd, the new owner and manufacturer of iconic MDF brand Customwood have recently launched a new upmarket MDF product called Customwood Superfinish. This new board is the result of the development of an innovative new resin recipe that enables it to be coated with a super gloss surface finish while it’s higher density combined with this new resin recipe, provides for outstanding machinability.

A

significant factor with Customwood SuperFinish is it’s minimal formaldehyde emission and it is this factor that has seen Daiken NZ Ltd and this product go through the lengthy and rigorous process to become an approved product in the Sensitive Choice® Programme and allow Daiken the right to use their blue butterfly in recognition thereof.

Originating in Australia with National Asthma Council Australia, the Sensitive Choice programme is now offered in New Zealand as well through the Asthma Foundation NZ. The Sensitive Choice® Programme has some 200 products and services that carry the blue butterfly. The blue butterfly logo is a signal to the consumer that the product or service may be better for them if they have asthma or allergies - the logo signals a more user friendly product.

JOINERS Magazine June 2013 page 52

“The Programme provides its partners with an opening to the 800,000 Kiwis who suffer from a respiratory condition and the 500,000 Kiwis with allergies,” comments Jennifer Day, Business Development Coordinator for the Asthma Foundation NZ. “The programme provides third party recognition from a well trusted non government organisation (NGO) while giving credence to asthma and allergy friendly product and service statements.”

Becoming a partner in this programme and gaining a blue butterfly is no walk in the park either: “It can take anything from two months to two years to become a Sensitive Choice® partner” Jennifer says. A product advisory panel meets bimonthly to discuss the applications submitted. Each application is discussed at length and with vigour and only

when the panel deem the product to meet their strict criteria does it gain the right to carry the blue butterfly. The 6 member panel is voluntary and independent - a respiratory physician, an allergist, a general practitioner, a pharmacist, an industrial chemist and an asthmatic.

The programme has the aims of educating New Zealanders about managing their asthma, encouraging manufacturers and suppliers to produce products and services that may benefit those with asthma and/or allergies as well as a way for consumers to identify such products and services. Significantly, the programme generates sponsorship funds to enable the Asthma Foundation to continue their work in asthma care research, information and various training courses for nurses and community health workers.

For Daiken and their new Customwood Superfinish product gaining a blue butterfly is important.

“Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen and considered to be a trigger for asthma. In Australia and New Zealand we have an emission standard for formaldehyde of E1 and E0.” comments Hiroshi Naka from Daiken NZ Ltd. “Customwood Superfinish is considerably lower than that with an emission level of less than 0.3mg/litre which incidentally meets the strictest Japanese Industrial Standard known as ‘F 4 Star’. In fact the formaldehyde emission of Super Finish is as low as that of natural timber.

With the known high incidence of asthma in New Zealand (15% of adults and 20% of

children) we believe this product is the best MDF solution for a wide range of applications including kitchens, joinery and furniture and any wood products and toys for kids.”

Gaining its blue butterfly has meant the product can safely be recommended for a range of buildings and places where special attention is needed for reasons of health and safety especially asthma and allergies such as pre schools, schools, restaurants and retail, hospitals and retirement villages, work places and public facilities.

Mr Naka says “More and more people now days see health and the environment as important factors in their buying decisions and are accordingly prepared to pay more for healthy options. Customwood Superfinish

recognises this trend and is pitched as a high end product which can be bought with confidence.”

Mike’s Woodshop – a grand design revisited The secret to long lasting dust removal, with minimal maintenance, is applying the principle of “low pressure operation” for the filters, more filter area worked less hard which means they last longer and save companies money both short and long term. Like their supplier JKF Industry based in Denmark, this is what NZ Duct&Flex Sales Manager Geoff Ebdon promotes when specifying the correct filter for his customers.

Time and again this principle can be seen to hold up as when (back in 2010) Mike and Kerri Lewin, owners of Mike’s Woodshop in Whangarei contacted Geoff Ebdon to re-design their extraction. “We were expanding, and technology and our own requirements had overtaken an 8 year old CNC machine, so we purchased a larger ‘state of the art’ Holzher Promaster 7123. Featuring a very large 6m long bed, the extraction requirements required more than a portable trolley unit if we were going to do justice to the capital investment in the CNC.” They gave New Zealand Duct & Flex a simple wish list: meet the extraction demands of the new CNC, resolve the existing issues of floor dust, dust on the boards, (that had to be vacuumed off before being taken off the bed),

limit the dust around the factory, in the air and all over the staff, all for a good price!

Geoff Ebdon suggested a 3 unit Modular Filter with Reverse Air Cleaning for the 42 Filter Bags from JKF Industri. Twinned with a 7.5kw fan from the same manufacturer blowing into the bottom collecting chamber of the filter, much of the dust goes straight into the Collection Bags, not even touching the filter socks suspended above. As all components, the Fan, Filter, Bags and Ducting come out of one factory - Danish based company JKF Industri, compatibility is ensured.

Manufactured from Galvanised Swedish steel, the Filter unit provides “low pressure filtration”, a high actual filter area for the

dollar, combined with easy access via large solid inspection doors so that if a bag does pop out of its seating, it is not necessary to remove half the other bags in the filter to get at it.

“Mike also wanted assurance that the performance wouldn’t degrade with time, hence we fitted the regenerating fan system to each module to clean the filter bags by reverse air flow, aiding long term performance and reliability,” explained Ebdon.

If as capacity increases Mike Lewin chooses to expand his workshop, then extra Filter Modules can be added or he may choose to change to a Rotary Valve exit for collection. Factory Manager Michael McCartain proudly stated after the re-fit, “I have the best filter to keep an

immaculate workshop and can lift boards straight off the bed without dusting them down first. In other words, the dust is ‘in the bag’, where it should be.”

Michael McCartain Factory Manager and Mike’s Woodshop qwner Mike Lewin next to the highly efficient Modular filter installed in September 2010.

3 years later, Mike Lewin summed up his experience: “We haven’t touched the filter, and have never had a problem, the Fan is so efficient it actually sucks the cut corners off the table as well as the dust! The whole filtration system is so simple for the guys to use – just walk in and push a button. In fact people walk into the workshop and ask do we actually do any work as its so clean!

The Filter has really cut down on the volume of settling dust in the workshop and saved ‘cleaning up’ time. We also liked the fact that NZ Duct&Flex allowed us to install all the ducting ourselves to save money, they had plenty of stock all the time, so we could add bits or swap items overnight.

NZ Duct&Flex also supplied us some brilliant Anti-static flex specifically designed for large CNC machines like ours: it’s very flexible but doesn’t implode under suction and we still use the original piece even though it’s been moving back and forth over a 6 metre bed for 2 and a half years.”

“I cant emphasise the idea of Low Pressure enough”, says Geoff, “if you have more actual filter cloth available to deal with the air and dust volume two things happen: 1) The velocity of the dust as it leaves the ducting and enters the filer drops off quicker, so more dust simply drops straight into the collecting area.

2) The dust that does come into contact with the filter socks does so at a lower velocity and so tends

to settle more on the edge of the cloth forming a ‘cake’ that actually aids the filtration process rather than be driven deeply into the fabric of the material. This means less clogging of the bags, longer life, less changing of filters and cleaning.”

Cleaning filter bags is often more hassle than its worth says Geoff.

Apart from removing the socks and getting covered in dust, freight costs, the cleaning costs, and refitting time, most filter bag suppliers will tell you that after washing you only get about 50% of the performance of new bags anyway, so it makes sense to get the specification right at the beginning.

New Product

made for New Zealand conditions S

chlegel New Zealand is now offering a range of Bifold Door Gear systems that have been developed for the local timber joinery industry.

Significantly, this range is made here in New Zealand by Zebratti to suit New Zealand conditions.

There are three different Bifold systems available to suit various weight ranges. The 50 Series and 80 Series have been developed specially to meet the requirements of the new codes for timber joinery (SNZ4211) whilst the 175 Series is suitable for those very big doors that are required occasionally.

All the gear is built from materials suitable for the demanding New Zealand environment. All stainless steel components are made from Grade 304 series stainless steel.

Even the bearings in the wheels are stainless steel. However, as the gear is manufactured locally,

Schlegel New Zealand are also able to offer a grade 316 stainless steel option at extra cost for when an architect calls for this grade.

Schlegel New Zealand is also able to offer a unique bronze finish to all their stainless steel components for those customers who require it.

The 50 Series has been developed as an entry level series designed to carry door panels up to 50kg in weight with panel sizes to 2700mm high and 810mm wide.

This makes them ideal for those smaller panels even with double glazing.

The 80 Series is designed for door panels up to 80kg and panel sizes of 3300mm high and 910mm wide. With this series there is the option of hinging the panels to the frame, or hanging the panels on pivots for greater flexibility. Both the 50 and 80 Series use the same top track and channel extrusions.

The 80 series is designed for door panels up to 80kg.

The 175 series is capable of carrying panels up to 175kg with panel sizes up to 5000mm high by 1100mm wide. This series can be used on aluminium, steel or timber joinery and has the hinged and pivot options available.

Schlegel New Zealand will be showing these new products as they call around the country.

Schlegel is also a sponsor of the Master Joiners Conference to be held in Nelson in mid June where this product will be on display. 

Servery & Security Shutter Doors

Servery & Security Shutters

G

one are the days of limited choices for servery doors and commercial shutters. Sage Doors are continuing to keep abreast of the trends and have increased their range of materials and finishes available to the customer.

The Sage Commercial servery door, which Sage Doors has been manufacturing in western red cedar for the past 60 years, is now also available in aluminum. Keeping the clean lines on both faces, these doors are proving a popular choice in both the standard silver anodized finish and colour powder coated finish. All western red cedar servery doors are supplied fine sanded, allowing you to apply the final finish to match existing surrounding timbers and finishes.

These doors are perfectly designed for closing off internal areas in halls, churches, schools, maraes, and the like. With an equally good finish on the back as on the front, these doors are an attractive solution in many situations.

Easy installation is one of the keys to these doors, and all wall trims can be completely finished before installing your door, which is supplied in a pre-tension MDF head case. These doors will fit in opening sizes from 1000mm wide. With doors over 3000mm wide, it is recommended that you use multiple doors with removable mullions to allow for ease of use and versatility in being able to leave some areas closed off.

Recently Sage Doors has branched further into security shutters for commercial situations with four styles available: The Econolink offers you an inexpensive option where ventilation and visibility are important, manufactured in heavy-duty aluminium tube with connecting fiberglass links.

The Shuttergrille can be manufactured using a solid aluminium slat or a choice of five punched patterns, or a combination of both. This door offers strength, an attractive appearance, and visibility and ventilation (punched patterns only).

The Visionline is a great solution in shopping centres. Manufactured in polycarbonate slats with connecting aluminium rails, these doors offer you protection against vandalism and theft while giving security guards 24 hours visibility through the see-through slats.

The Ultra Security is suitable for large shop frontages and pedestrian openings. They are manufactured in heavy-duty aluminium tube and connected with high tensile aluminium links.

The links are assembled in a brickwork pattern 70mm apart.

Shuttergrille

for quality roller doors that keep on rolling ...

All servery and security shutters are easy to operate manually, and there is the option to have some of the larger models motorised.

Sage Commercial doors are supplied to you ready for installation, including matching guides and locks. They come with a 10 year warranty.

so many options extraction systems - waste reduction and removal

W

hen it comes to getting waste off your site you may have a heap of waste but also a heap of options. The decision on which way to go has a few factors to consider:

they still have to be emptied at some point. It is considerably easier to remove from the collector but it could easily weigh over 40 KG so lifting it becomes another issue.

1) How much waste do you produce per week?

2) How much dust do you produce versus off cuts?

3) Your location - how easy or expensive is it to remove your waste and how much do you pay per tonne and on pick up fees. If your pick up fees are high, regardless of the quantity then you need to make sure you fit as much as possible into your collection bin.

The neatest solution for this is to use a bin lifter and not break your back. Typically these will set you back about $8-10,000. While Wheelie bins can be retrofitted to a lot of collectors it is much better to specify it at the front end of the project so that it fits right. AIRTIGHT have a range of filter outlet mounts that will suit most wheel bins and so this is a particularly tidy solution for outside. If required we can supply steel wheelie bins.

Extraction and collection is only part of the solution, Now you have the dust, what to do next?

These are some of the collection / containment options.

Plastic bags Cheaper to set up but they can be messy. Most of the AIRTIGHT type series filters and a few of the AIRTIGHT Modular NFP filters still use plastic bags and while most operators take care to avoid them, accidents still happen. The beauty of plastic bags is that you can see when they are filling up!

Wheelie bins look good, easy to use, really only suitable for small quantities and while these are a nice solution,

Waste skips a very popular method for medium sized users. More and more now they require liners, and if you end up filling them with off cuts, leaving large air voids in the bin, you are paying the pick up fee for not much waste volume.

Depending on where you are this pick up fee can represent a reasonable chunk of your total dumping fee. In these situations it may be well worth looking at an off cut shredder or a briquetting machine From AIRTIGHT. Recently we installed one of our AIRTIGHT briquetting machines as part of a new extraction system to reduce their waste removal from sites. The difference is huge.

From shaving to briquettes is over 10 times the density This meant the truck movement were down to 10%. The knock on effect is

JOINERS Magazine June 2013 page 66

its given them reduced waste removal fees, but also less risk of production being held up while bins are being emptied (or worse completely full!).

Containers or Tip hook bins A good solution if you need to empty more than 2-3m3/day of waste. These use a blowline to blow the dust into the receiving container, usually on a closed lopp blowline system. Generally this means you get good loading into the bin and typically these will hold around 25m2 of dust. While the foot print space is increased, it does mean that waste removal is much less of a hassle. Ideally two or more containers, ensure that you never have to stop, and a quick change over to a fresh container on the fly is all that is needed.

Storage bins The ultimate of course. Allows you to run light or heavy dust loads without concern and empty the dust when it suits you. Dearer to set up, these are especially good solutions if you want to be autonomous or occasionally run very heavy loads that would otherwise completely full you waste collections system before you could get it emptied.

How to get more into a space Well, students can do it in minis and AIRTIGHT can do it in bins.

You try to stuff as much into the same sized box as possible.

Hammer mills - if you are machining solid wood and have nice fluffy shavings, these can be very low density. Using AIRTIGHT hammer mills can very easily increase the density of these shavings by 2-3 times. In turn this means your collection bin is essentially 2-3 times the size, immediately. But it depends what the shavings are being used for next. If they are being used for chicken farms, then the chickens preferred choice of bedding is ‘Au natural’, and so you would not want to hammer them. But if they are going to for example a heat plant, then you may get considerably better combustion by hammer milling the shavings first.

Offcut Ginders - it doesn’t matter if you have sheet or lumber off cuts, an AIRITGHT shredder will reduce the volume of this in a waste bin. The shredders use relatively low power and can either simply shred to reduce overall size or shred to reduce to a certain final size. It depend what the end use is. If its just to reduce waste removal costs then the larger screens are fine, But if its being used in a briquetting or combustion application then the sizing screen becomes more important to ensure the shredded pieces are small enough to use.

If you have sheet off cuts or lumber off cuts one way of reducing these is to install a shredder to grind up the off cuts so you can fit more into your waste bin. AIRTIGHT have several of these running in conjunction with dust extraction system to minimise the waste removal costs.

I hope this helps.

If not AIRTIGHT can.

router cutting solutions N

eed a cut job with a fast turn around? That’s at the heart of Creative Cam NZ Ltd, an innovative company providing a 2D and 3D CNC router cutting service from their premises in the Auckland suburb of Glenfield. Owners Catherine Gafa and Damon Forsyth who took over the business back in February 2012 are well suited to the business, both having backgrounds in Strikethrough engineering. “It’s more than just providing a quick, professional cutting service” comments Catherine, “it’s about providing router cutting solutions for our clientele.”

And solutions they indeed offer. With three ICAM CNC routing machines, the largest having a 6m by 2m flatbed they are able to cut a wide range of materials to custom order for clients anywhere in New Zealand. “The range of materials we can deal with is a big part of the attraction of what we do.” says Catherine. Materials include acrylic, foam PVC (Signex, Multiboard), aluminium composite material (ACM), MDF, plywood, polystyrene, plastics and non ferrous metals. Catherine adds “We are even able to flame polish clear acrylic and V groove ACM for light boxes and for building cladding.”

With five staff and a 500 square metre factory site Creative Cam are able to offer a quick efficient service. “The key is experience in using the right software and generally a maximum three day turn around” comments Damon. “By simply emailing us the file we can give our clients a same day quote for the job.” The software used is a combination of Rhino for drawings which is imported into the machining programme Visual Mill and Alphacam.

Creative Cam also offers a professional design service. “We are able to provide the full design package as well as just a cutting service. By working with a client we can create from the ground up including 3D modelling, virtually any project including challenging products such as architectural feature panels.” comments Damon. “It really is about providing router cutting solutions for our clients both quickly and professionally.”

design flexibility

Duncan Such

keep it simple

T

his edition of Buzz comes to you directly from Indianapolis where yesterday we went to the Indy500. How often do you get to stand within 20 feet of 33 cars flashing past at over 200 miles per hour. As someone said to me, you get to see all that is good and bad in the US when you cram 400,000 people in one place at one time.

I n t e r e s t i n g l y, these cars are much simpler than F1 (though faster), and as a result it is much cheaper for teams to compete and so there are many more teams. They had a record number of lead changes so every lap there was something going on. If you get the chance, I highly recommend it for spine tingling speed, crashes and fantastic people watching.

A theme of this JOINERS edition is classical machines. Simple machines which formed the basis for wood processing for many years and although they have not disappeared from view, they have certainly been overshadowed by the new high-tech computer driven solutions.

Virtually every process in a cabinet shop now can be performed with a computerised solution which undoubtedly has transformed the industry. From design and sales software, through office systems, panel optimisation and on to the factory floor where saws, routers and edgebanders all of sophisticated controllers able to be linked to the office.

This re-visiting of classical machines is timely. I am a great believer in regularly doing simplicity reviews of processes, designs, equipment etc with a view to cutting out “complexity creep”. I can best describe complexity creep as the way a product or process starts off as a simple idea, and then over time as you test the idea in a real situation, you find that you need to modify it to make it fit a range of situations.

The issue is however that the bolt-on’s can often add a new variable which has an unintended impact on the original idea. Now a new bolt-on or modification is required to address this issue. Early on in the life cycle of the idea, these modifications have relatively little impact and contribute to better performance, but there comes a time when the original simple idea becomes lost and all future development is affected.

Simplicity reviews are really just a term for sitting down regularly and going back to the original idea and starting again with the increased knowledge that you have. It is then often possible to ditch all of the bolt-on’s and get a much better result.

An example might be that a CNC machine centre might be performing every task on a workpiece. However, it might in fact be simpler to remove the workpiece and make one or more of the processes manually using classical machines which are dedicated only to that process (requiring no setup). In this case, a lot of the complexity might be hidden from view such as in the office machine programming, or through increased disruption being caused by bottlenecks in certain machines.

precision bending and production nz technology nz made

The benefits to a business in improved efficiency, better on-time delivery, increased ease for sales people to deliver etc make these regular reviews well worthwhile.

Maybe it is time to dust off some of those old classical machines.

Due Process Geoff Hardy

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRAVEL INSURANCE The New Zealand Herald recently reported that dispute-resolution company Financial Services Complaints Ltd had experienced a five-fold increase in complaints about travel insurance over the past year, and that two thirds of the insurance complaints they handled concerned travel insurance claims that were declined. Most complainants were unsuccessful because they were caught out by the fine print in the policy.

This stems from the common misconception – which the insurance industry does nothing to dispel – that insurance policies are commodities whose only distinguishing features are the size of the premium and the level of service you receive when a claim is made. In fact, travel insurance policy terms vary widely, and typically the size of the premium is directly proportional to the extent of the cover. If an insurance company decides to compete on price, any premium discount is usually accompanied by subtle changes in the policy wording and a consequential reduction of risk.

I recently had occasion to look into travel insurance because my wife and I hired a Harley Davidson in Los Angeles and spent two weeks riding it the length of Route 66 to Chicago. I compared four different policies available through Chartis, Air New Zealand (underwritten

by QBE), Tower, and finally the Chartis policy you get for free when you pay for your travel using a Westpac Titanium or Gold Amex or Mastercard.

What I found was that you had to identify your major risks, and then see which policy best meets your needs, with cost being only

a secondary factor. I also found that if you want to pay something to upgrade the Bank credit card policy to the standard Chartis policy (the one that I personally recommend) you encounter a wall of indifference that is virtually impenetrable. And finally, I found that when you lose your wallet on the Interstate 40 in Arizona, the friendly staff at the call centre in Malaysia are pretty efficient and helpful. Just don’t bother trying to locate an operator in the USA in order to put through a collect call – they disappeared with the dinosaurs.

There are certain obvious risks inherent in a time-constrained road trip in a foreign country.

You might have to abandon your trip before you start, or you might have to curtail your trip while you are there, because of some crisis. Your luggage might be delayed or lost in transit, or it might turn up damaged or incomplete. Someone might steal it or you might lose it during the course of your travels. Your pre-paid transportation provider might go bust, or they might be prevented from delivering your hire car/motorbike/campervan or scheduled flights for some reason beyond their control. Your means of transport might break down, or be stolen, or be involved in an accident. You might be detained by the authorities, or by criminals, kidnappers, hijackers, or terrorists. Finally, you might infringe someone’s rights and end up as the defendant in a law suit.

All of these risks are covered by the standard travel policies to some extent or other, but that “extent” ranges from comprehensive, to minimal. That is why, regrettably,

you have to read the policy – that is, if you can extract it from the insurance company before you have paid the premium.

All the policies are subject to certain age, location & duration constraints. For example under the credit card policy, when you reach 75 or you have pre-existing medical conditions, the medical, funeral expenses and loss of income cover is unavailable (although you can have a check-up and pay extra to restore the cover).

You won’t get cover for travel in countries identified by MFAT as “extreme risk”. And if the duration of your travel exceeds 35 days you have to be pre-approved and pay extra to have any cover at all.

When you hire a vehicle, there is a chance that you damage it in an accident, or it breaks down or is stolen, causing you delay and additional expense. Generally the hire contract will include insurance against these eventualities - but that is yet another set of fine print you have to familiarize yourself with, if you can get hold of it (we couldn’t). You can pay the overseas hire company extra to eliminate the excess or deductible, or alternatively your travel insurance policy will include cover for the excess, to some degree. But beware of the latter because it might prove to be inadequate. For example under the credit card policy, hired vehicles exclude motorcycles.

As far as your own possessions are concerned (money, travel documents and luggage), your home contents or domestic personal effects policy usually won’t extend beyond New Zealand, so the travel insurance

is critical. But the exceptions or exclusions are important.

Understandably the insurance companies don’t want to cover you for your own carelessness, so typically they won’t cover you if you have left your possessions unattended (even if only briefly) or in an unlocked vehicle or accommodation.

Incurring legal liability overseas is a risk, especially when travelling in a litigious country such as the USA or a “lawless sate” where corruption is the norm.

For criminal liability (or alleged liability) you are pretty much on your own. If you are sued for a civil wrong, the cover seems superficially attractive but the devil is in the detail. Exemplary or punitive damages are excluded, as is any liability arising from any unreasonable, criminal, reckless or wilful act or omission on your part, or failure to comply with legislation, or the use of a vehicle.

I repeat – no cover for use of a vehicle!

If all this sounds a bit daunting, and you want some reassurance without having to go through the tedium of having to read and compare various policies, then follow these two rules of thumb. First, the “free” policy you automatically qualify for by paying for your travel with your credit card, might exclude the very risks you are concerned about.

Secondly, the more you pay in premium, generally the better the coverage you will get.

Education – the way to get a sore head KBIS is the largest kitchen and bathroom industry show in North America. This year it was held in New Orleans and may account for some of the blurry patches and headaches I had while attending.

Debra and I were there to present a talk on New Zealand design with the dubious title of From 1960 to 2013 in Ten Years – How New Zealand Grew up and Took Its Place in the Design World.

A big thank you goes out here to our main supporters who helped get this presentation done.

Hafele, Applico (SMEG), Resene, and Blum. Thank you for your encouragement and support, we couldn’t have done it without you.

If any of you or your employees have spare liver parts please let me know, I may need some replacement bits in the near future.

It wasn’t all drinks and parties at KBIS there was actually a trade show as well. Certainly not the size and style of Milano’s Eurocucina but still well worth a look. American kitchen and bathroom design is way more traditional than Europe or here.

Dark oaks, solid timber panelled doors, and lots of fiddly details on countertops. You can still see examples in any 1980’s kitchen magazine, or on the floor at KBIS. Dispersed amongst these kitchen displays are some true gems though. Being an industry show there are more stands showcasing componentry than entire kitchens.

Here you find handmade copper sinks, coloured cast iron butler sinks, and Bluetooth enabled shower heads that talk to your IPOD as you shower.

Now you may think ‘What the?’ but these gems are new, unseen, and can give you the edge if your potential client wants a copper

shower head in a cast iron shower that sings Star Spangled Banner while they wash their hair. This is after all the USA.

10%.” Probably not relevant here, but to hear a CEO tell a room full of clients and competitors was amazingly honest.

Big is better there and this was highlighted in the 30 under 30.

This group of under 30 year olds were being promoted as the future of the industry. I met a few of them and was surprised to see how strangely normal they were.

Pleasant, intelligent, modest, (much like myself really...) and not really that different to most delegates who attend conference in New Zealand, with two exceptions. 1 They live in a country with a population of over 310 million and 2. On average their individual businesses had made roughly 5 million dollars in the past 5 years. One was worth over 15 million after starting a company selling bathroom vanities 18 months earlier. If you think the Y Generation are lazy and dumb think again.

Another great series was the “Voices from the Industry”. Here NKBA members got to present 45 minute seminars on a wide range of topics. There seminars were more like workshops with practical tips and tricks from website design, to efficiencies in manufacturing. Again the willingness of individuals to share information with their peers was amazing.

As KBIS is an industry show put on by the National Kitchen and Bath Association in the USA there is also a huge education program.

This would have to be the real reason why people would go to KBIS and certainly why we go.

There were 4 keynotes speakers all from very successful businesses.

They talked of technology, design, sales, and the state of the industry.

What impressed me the most was the willingness to share ideas and business strategy all wrapped up in a motivational format.

I am used to keynotes talking about how successful they have been and telling stories of their success.

Seldom do I hear, “...oh and by the way, if your website does not have a section for specifically Hispanic buyers you are turning you back on 27% of the market share. We did it and our sales moved up

I hear a lot about joining Associations and industry groups as a way to get more information from peers and being stronger by learning from each other but what I saw at KBIS puts every conference I have been to in New Zealand to shame.

Why is it that in New Zealand we give away advice and knowledge to a potential customer who walks in off the street, but refuse to say how much work we generated through a website, or ad in the paper, or stand at a Home Show?

If we think we are giving away valuable information to our competitors how much design advice and experience are we giving away to customers?

I digress ...

Our visit to KBIS was our third and what keeps us going back whenever the budget allows is education. We see products and applications that can be incorporated into our own work without becoming someone else’s work. We can listen to CEO’s of multimillion dollar companies talk about how they started from a garage and became global players.

We can talk to our peers about real life issues and problems we face in

The DeLorenzo’s in America

the industry and get honest helpful answers. And we can laugh over a beer or bourbon to 3am about pronunciation, cricket and how astro turf killed American football.

At least that is what I think he said, the room was spinning a little at that point.

On 14-15 July the NKBA is having their conference in Christchurch. I am looking forward to it but I will be looking at it a lot more critically this time. The bar has been set.

Oh and by the way, next week I will be manning our stand at the Home Show in Wellington. We have done this the past 2 years and it has been fantastic at generating work for us. Our Canadian friends tell us that it is the same for them too.

JITO investigates merging with a bi Minister Joyce – announced he is keen for less and larger ITO’s.

Development of a Rationale to Merge

With no rationale provided by Government, the JITO board of Directors over a period of eighteen months, has established a strategic direction for the future of JITO.

Background Information Many small ITOs such as JITO outperform large ones, with a stronger connection with their industries. The JITO board is very conscious of losing “industry voice” if merged into a large ITO. It was unquestionable that without a solid framework there would be unmitigated risks. To this end the JITO Board of Directors worked through the following considerations:

Finding a logical reason to merge for the benefit of the timber and aluminium joinery, glass and glazing and kitchen and bathroom design sectors was challenging.

As a result, a set of rules was established to guide the strategic direction for the ITO. Recently there has been several illogical ITO merges which are already under scrutiny by their industries and as a result it is expected there will be further unsettling and costly realignment.

Aside from glazing and automotive reglazing, JITO industries fit with the manufacturing sector as well as the constructions sector.

The JITO Board of Directors determined that aside from automotive reglazing, the JITO sectors associated primarily with the construction sector.

Throughout this time JITO investigated several potential merge partners – Flooring/ Painting ITO, Plumbing, Gasfitting Drainlaying & Roofing, The Skills Organisation (formerly Electrical) and with the BCITO as a passive onlooker.

• Without leadership and vision from the top (government) we are not getting the best for industry training and NZ Inc • Financial levers, the TEC’s only available method of encouragement, has caused financial stress and failure of some ITOs which is harmful to industry and learners.

• A “lolly scramble” has resulted in ITOs taking an unstructured and often unprofessional approach to gaining industry coverage. Ultimately it is unlikely to achieve an optimal outcome. This has already happened and further restructuring will inevitably eventuate.

• Self-interest from Boards and CEOs have the ability to cloud decision-making around the right clusters for reshaped ITOs .

• A focus on survival will compromise performance in ITOs – which will disadvantage learners.

• A merge may offer an opportunity to regroup ITO coverage in the best interests of industry • Consolidation of ITO coverage while maintaining intimacy with industry • To capitalise on efficiency - for government in terms of expenditure, due to reduced infrastructure requirements - learners in terms of a more supported and focussed approach to performance - employers experiencing a unified approach to education and training.

JOINERS Magazine June 2013 page 74

• A portfolio of improvements that may benefit industry - lifting the skills base of the workforce - lifting productivity in workplaces - lifting the productivity of ITOs - better delivery of the Tertiary Education Strategy • Provision for a structure that encourages generic skills development for learners thus making them more transportable across groups of industries • Fiscal responsibilites seriously affecting JITO with five very small sectors. With the ITO crunching numbers at a time when its stakeholders are enduring a recession and the government forcing mergers was a pandora’s box waiting to explode. A small organisation working through these issues whilst maintaining business as usual has been essential.

For the JITO Directors these considerations decoded a rationale enabling progress onto a strategic direction following a set of rules.

4 Rules for merging established JITO could let the ITO’s fight it out or alternatively establish its

own rules for a logical end result.

The JITO Board prefers the latter.

Rule 1 Any merge will need to contribute to industry productivity.

The most significant consideration has been extracted from the JITO Mission statement. “ ... improving the performance of the sectors.”

Rule 2 All decisions made must be in the best interest of and in consultation with JITO industries The second significant consideration is about the interests and concerns of the timber and aluminium joinery, glass and glazing and kitchen and bathroom design sectors.

Rule 3 Merge opportunities investigated that could ultimately result in one construction ITO Focussing on current government initiatives, consideration has been given as to how JITO could align with the direction of other large government agencies. A merge could enable JITO industries to collaborate with the whole of the construction industry. At this point the JITO Board strategically considered the merge partner with

igger ITO consider a merge which will improve performance of industry, be in the best interest of industry, be a collaboration between the different parts of the Tertiary Sector and follow an established framework as identified in the Vocational Pathways One Construction ITO will provide a logical grouping of industry coverage and does not rely on forcing further mergers of existing entities. It would be a more cost effective size thus allowing for meaningful comparisons of performance and efficiency. It is expected one construction ITO would be better for learners through informed career choices, providing information about the lesser known trades with a greater opportunity to build generic skill bases – improved productivity for NZ Inc. a focus on the long term strategy of merging with a partner that has the potential to form one dedicated construction ITO. Rule 4 Follow an established frame work as identified in the Vocational Pathways Collaboration between different parts of the tertiary sector will ensure that education and training is taking place in the most efficient manner and that duplication is avoided. Following the launch of the Vocational Pathways in schools, (see diagram above), students will be able to follow the recommended skills in one of the five main work sectors. This pathway will facilitate the move from high school into work or further education by providing clarity with career choices. If a student has a particular career in mind, they will be able to see which subjects and unit standards will help them to get there.This indicates that the key to getting the ITO landscape right is also about defining the coverage of each ITO using the Vocational Pathway framework.

Summary of rationale and rules To give JITO industries the best chance of success JITO must

Following agreement in principal JITO will; • Initiate the due diligence process which includes 13 principals designed to ensure any merge will benefit the JITO sectors with no disadvantages.

• Following the Due Diligence process, JITO together with its merge partner will fully consult with industry and other stakeholders charting the

agreed conditions for a merge.

The consultation process will inform industry of agreements negotiated and the expected outcomes from a merge.

• JITO will be requesting support or otherwise for the merge.

Deb Paul Chief Executive JITO

One construction ITO would allow the CEO and Chair of the Construction ITO to form a round table with the other ITO’s to investigate and promote best practice. Government (tax payers) would be provided with the best opportunity for efficiency without compromising quality.

A random approach is inherently risky in terms of optimal outcome.

The advantages and risks to the Joinery ITO have been carefully considered which has concluded the preliminary phase of a strategy for the merge process.

The Joinery ITO board recommendation The board recommends that JITO looks to merge with the BCITO (to be rebranded) with a long term strategy that the merged entity works towards the formation of one construction ITO. To progress a merger onto the due diligence phase, the board is seeking agreement in principal from the following stakeholders who are members of the Joinery ITO Incorporated Society.

2 million square metres laid In the month of May, Strandfloor® from The Laminex Group surpassed an impressive milestone. It’s been a little over three years since The Laminex Group began distributing Strandfloor® in NZ. In that time over 2 million square metres have been laid in homes, offices, even gymnasiums throughout the country. Laid end on end that would be more than enough Strandfloor ® to run from Cape Reinga to Stewart Island!

Woodman Software

awards on show with wood expo The National Forest and Wood Industry Training Awards, being held on September 13 in Rotorua are timed to coincide with an exciting week which starts with the inaugural WoodEXPO. The three day WoodEXPO 2013 includes a wood processing summit, two days of exhibitions and technology workshops, followed by New Zealand’s prestigious annual Forest and Wood Industry National Training Awards 2013 dinner.

“The timing of the Forest & Wood Industry National Training Awards to run on the last day of the three-day WoodEXPO 2013 in Rotorua is ideal” says FIEA Director, Brent Apthorp.

"The WoodEXPO 2013 will for the first time be attracting global technology providers to the city to outline the very latest innovations that can be adopted by local sawmilling, wood manufacturing and panels companies. It’s certainly shaping up to be a busy, informative and week of celebration for the New Zealand forestry and wood products industries.”

The Wood Expo has been set up specifically for sawmilling, wood manufacturing and wood panel companies. It is being run by the Forest Industry Engineering Association (FIEA) while the Forest and Wood Industry National Training Awards is an annual event held by FITEC/Competenz. These two associations have similar objectives with a key outcome being to improve local companies productivity and performance.

The nomination form, eligibility and criteria, and tickets for the Awards are available on www.fitec.org.nz/awards/. Information on the WoodEXPO is available on http://www. woodexpo2013.com.

Sponsors: Stihl, Rayonier/ Matariki Forests, JNL, ACC, Mirotone, Skellerup. Partners: JOINERS Magazine, Logger, Home Ideas Centre, Danske Mobler ² COMPETENZ The Forest Industry Training and Education Council (FITEC) announced their merger into Competenz.

The merger was effective from May 1, 2013. The outcome is expected to be enhanced training services and a stronger financial base to expand future services to the forest and wood industry.

a natural Quoting Partner for S4211 compliance With the establishment and spread of NZS4211, timber joiners now need to look at compliance at the time of quoting. Winning a job and then finding sashes, doors, mullions or transoms need upgrading with either material types or material thickness can eat into profits quickly.

Designed and developed by Michael Bangs and working closely with a well known local timber joinery company to modify existing joinery designs and create additional new designs compliant with NZS 4211, Woodman Software has proved the ideal partner when quoting, for such compliance.

“Woodman Software develops as NZS4211 develops” comments Mr Bangs “The programme is flexible to include updates as they come along. Woodman can calculate wind loadings to 4211 and uses the 4211 parts and profiles and calculations from the recently released NZS4211 manual. New bifold and sliding track systems are currently being added to 4211 and also to Woodman. Suppliers keep me up to date with changes so the variations can be included in the software.” The flexibility applies to old renovations where 4211 is not required: “This is not an issue as Woodman software still holds its original designs to give the joiner the flexibility he needs.”

SO MUCH TO SEE. ALL FOR FREE.

With the addition of parametric CAD drawings to designs and products tailored to New Zealand specifications the Woodman system gives a fast turnaround on quotations with a professional touch.

“Flexibility is the key to Woodman Software.

With the support of a well known joinery company Woodman can price jobs using existing designs and tailoring them to suit or making a one off design from scratch that can be used again and again if required” says Mr Bangs “With just two days training clients are sending out accurate quotes. Importantly, Woodman keeps the intellectual property in the hands of Master Joiners. A lot of money has been spent on creating the NZS4211 designs by and for ‘Master Joiners’. Consequently I have created two databases, one for Master Joiners and one for those who opt out of NZS4211.

The NZS4211 database will only be supplied to Master Joiner members.”
