COLUMNS Master Joiners 4

Anthony Neustroski addresses payments and training and suggests we should remain vigilant in even the best of times or it could be all for nothing.

The joinery & cabinetmaking trade has progressively required less labour and less trade skills as machinery and methods have become more automated. But you still need to make the right machinery and software selections. We look at some of the options.

finishing the fronts 32 Materials, finish, colour and construction - door and panel fronts set the tone for a kitchen. We look at some of the options available whether you make your own or take advantage of the pre finished door market.

Due Process 68

Geoff Hardy explains the intentions behind the Credit Contract Act and how it can assist in regulating cash flow during a job.

Steering a Course 70

Ian Featherstone suggests we regain momentum at the start of the year by following the seven habits of highly effective people.

From the President

not for nothing

H

i everyone, another busy year on the cards, Inland Revenue will be rubbing their hands together ...

I have heard of a few joinery factories going bust recently and I guess we wonder why in these good times this happens. It can happen easily and can happen fast to a business in our industry. I run a small Joinery business and the times I was caught with a couple of bad debts they were both in the very busiest of times (luckily not at the same time). I was so busy trying to get the work out I did not administer good practices, you learn quickly from this. So stay vigilant with your deposits and chase your outstanding money early. I heard a fellow tradie say recently - if we do not get paid, ''then it has all been for nothing''. An easy way to check out any new builders or businesses who walk in your door, is to ask your local sales reps. They will usually warn you of any bad payers - but you need to ask. It's in their companies best interests to keep you able to pay your bills.

Fit showroom to open The Fit team are delighted to announce that their first showroom will open on 21 March. Based alongside their Christchurch distribution facility at 4 Morse Rd, Wigram, Fit’s showroom will be open to designers, architects, specifiers, and trade customers, all of whom are, of course, welcome to bring clients through. On show will be quality products from Tanova, Vauth-Sagel, Salice and more! If you're based in Christchurch - or even in Marlborough, Otago or Southland - and would like to come to Fit’s opening celebration on Thursday 21 March, get yourself added to the invitation list by emailing lesley@fit-nz.co.nz. (If you're North Island-based but happen to have plans to be in Christchurch on or around 21st March, they’d love to see you, too! Email Lesley for an invitation.) 

To Master Joiners business. We have an Executive meeting coming up and have tacked on an extra day for a Strategy meeting. This is a first for us that I know of and is definitely a good move. We are going to discuss and set some achievable goals, and implement tactics to get to those goals. Complaints around Industry Training is always the top of the list when speaking to most members and non members. This subject is always on our agenda at Executive meetings and it is fair to say, all we do is talk about it. With the recent government announcement around reducing the number of Polytechnics we will all be watching this space. More than likely as usual, it will probably not help us or our industry. The time has come for the Master Joiners to step up and make a difference in this area, and we can. Retention of trainees and newly qualified Joiners in our industry is the greatest challenge, how many stay in the industry? Not many is the answer and that is the problem. If 1000 apprentices start or complete an apprenticeship next year but none stay on as joiners, 'it has all been for nothing' for us and our industry. There is a very simple solution to solve this problem, we need to pay more. People will stay in the industry when their skills bring in good dollars. With the shortage of qualified staff available better rates of pay are being offered, this lift in pay rates will in turn make our industry look a lot more attractive to trainees. Better working conditions and flexibility by the employer also help a great deal encouraging good people to stay in the trade.

EDITOR Michael Goddard michael@joiners.net.nz

Smart Factories Business wise, 2019 looks very much like being a continuation of 2018 for those in the joinery, cabinetmaking and kitchen manufacturing sectors. Workloads look encouraging going forward. The use of CNC machinery and related software has continued to grow and evolve. The panel processing scene has particularly benefited from this growth as production has become even more efficient and indeed cost effective. We have a look at the latest in CNC technology and some of the software available which is worth a gander for those looking at upgrading or adding to their existing machinery. Other features look at Cabinetry manufacturing and the latest in LED lighting now available. It is interesting to note the expanding range of board product now available for use in the kitchen be it for decorative application or cabinetry. We have some examples in this issue which add real variety from suppliers such as PSP Ltd, NZ Panels Group and Sage Doors. The range now on offer makes even more design options available to designers and architects. This is further enhanced by the LED options now being touted to highlight design features particularly in the modern kitchen. Another note on our various columns: they continue to offer sound commentary on all manner of subjects: take the latest from Ian Featherston who looks at “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Steve Covey with its useful tips on self improvement and time management. Worth a look.

A notable event for all members is the impending retirement of Corinne Moore as Executive Officer of Master Joiners, a role she has graced for many years now through several notable changes for the Master Joiners. In particular the development and successful implementation of the NZ4211 Standard, probably the most significant process in the history of the NZ Joinery Manufacturers Federation aka the Master Joiners. Her contribution to the administrative growth and development of Master Joiners as an organisation has been significant. Her contribution to running all those earlier conferences and leading the Executive Committee has been outstanding. From the magazine point of view she has always been a most professional person to deal with, keeping us on our toes at all times! My Editor Michael and I wish her and husband Kevin all the best in their life beyond the Master Joiners. We have an editorial in this issue about her time with the Master Joiners. The next big thing for the joinery folk is of course the Annual Master Joiners Conference to be held in Invercargill this year from 20- 22 June. A chance to get away to the deep south. I guess some early planning to get there would not go astray. No doubt the Conference packs will not be too far away. Look forward to catching up with everyone once more. Bob Nordgren

LIGNA trend to product individualization

Stefano Orlati develop online store

Journalists from all over the world attended the LIGNA Preview press conference held recently in Hannover, Germany, to get a sneak peek into what’s coming this LIGNA. Whether it’s about digitization, automation, loT platforms or collaborative systems, LIGNA is where innovations are shown for the first time and on an unrivalled scale to be displayed on over 130,000 square meters.

Stefano Orlati Trade customers can now browse and purchase products with live contract pricing and account credit limits at their fingertips.

“From 27 to 31 May 2019, exhibitors from over 50 countries will gather at the Hannover Exhibition Center to showcase state-of-the-art processing solutions, applications and concepts for the entire forestry & wood industry. The presence of all the world’s leading technology providers will make Hannover the global hotspot for the wood-based

industries during those five days. No other fair compares in terms of international appeal”, said Dr. Andreas Gruchow, Managing Board member at Deutsche Messe, adding: “Once again in 2019, LIGNA will serve as the industry’s showcase of choice for unveiling their innovations, with a great many exhibitors even timing their development cycles to coincide with the show’s staging every two years.” Visitors can expect to see innovations across all display categories, from forestry t e c h n o l o g y, f u r n i t u r e a n d window manufacturing, through to tooling systems and surface technology. They will also see live demonstrations of fully functional furniture production plants, learn about loT platforms for Industry 4.0 plants and the latest R&D projects, and be able to participate at networking events throughout the show. “One of the big challenges is the ever greater trend to product individualization – a trend that is putting pressure on manufacturers to deliver customized products at least as quickly, profitably and efficiently as with series production. It’s these sorts of challenges for which LIGNA exhibitors will be presenting solutions.” said Dr Gruchow.

Industry training organisations react to proposed workplace training reforms ...

Do not dismantle industry-led training

We need evolution not revolution

“With recent vocational education reform announcements the Government is proposing to dismantle our industry-led training and apprenticeship system, says Josh Williams, Chief Executive of the Industry Training Federation (ITF).

Competenz, one of the country’s largest industry training organisations (ITOs), says the government's proposal to reform the vocational education sector and merge ITOs and polytechnics could undermine critical workplace and apprenticeship training that is vital in addressing New Zealand’s skills shortages.

The reform proposes to shift responsibility for arranging workplace training and apprenticeships from industry-owned and governed Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) to a single government-owned Institute of Skills and Technology. "We intend to ask our employers and industries if they would prefer that their training organisation is taken over by a single government-owned institute. We currently have 145,000 people per year in workplace training and apprenticeships training in 25,000 firms supported by the eleven ITOs. This is the largest form of post-school education. We do this with just six percent of Government funding for tertiary education. For every $1 million invested in the tertiary sector, ITO-arranged training qualifies 300 skilled workers. By comparison the polytechnics currently qualify 50. “To meet our future workforce challenges, we need to be investing much more heavily in workbased learning. Industry itself is best placed to the determine the training arrangements to meet its needs, including commissioning vocational providers to deliver relevant courses and programmes. The big opportunity of this reform is to build on the success of our work-based system, because that is how we can address skills shortages, and get the right skills in the right place at the right time. We are looking for a system that sup-

ports and encourages thousands more employers, regionally and nationally to develop our workforce. New Zealand's industry-led training and apprenticeship model provides direct engagement and connection to real employers. We are not at all convinced that central management of workplace training and apprenticeships will incentivise more employers to engage and participate. “The ITF has consistently argued for a more joined up vocational education system that works together to meet the current and emerging needs of industry and New Zealand. We support the key role that polytechnics play in the sector, and fully agree that funding policies have long needed a review to get the right incentives and behaviours in the system. “The ITF is looking to these reforms to strengthen our industryled workplace training system, not to dismantle it. The ITO model is owned and governed by industry itself. By delivering skills to working people through employers and providers it ensures that skills training is relevant for the learner, their employer, and their industry. “We intend to bring together our employer and industry associations, business leaders, and key stakeholders to consider the detail of these proposals,” concluded Josh Williams. www.itf.org.nz

The Industry Training Federation is the collective voice for the Industry Training and Apprenticeships sector in New Zealand. Its members are New Zealand's eleven recognised Industry Training Organisations.

“The changes the government has proposed in its Vocational Education and Training review are more complex and farreaching than we expected. It’s unprecedented. There is no doubt the VET system needs modification and funding needs to be realigned to deliver what our industries need – but these changes are too radical,” says chief executive of Competenz, Fi Kingsford. “In a time of critical skills shortages, the last thing we want is a reform that risks undermining workplace training and apprenticeship programmes.” New Zealand’s skills shortage is acute. The engineering industry alone will need another 12,000 engineers by 2022. “If we start this reform in 2020, there’s no way we’re going to hit that target. Yes the system needs reform and yes we need to address the funding inequalities, but in our opinion, the VET changes are not the way to do it,” says Mrs Kingsford. Research has shown that for every $1million of government investment into tertiary education, the industry training system produces 306 qualified people – people who are able

Fiona Kingsford

to immediately contribute to New Zealand’s economy - while polytechnics produce 50. “Taxpayers are getting a much better return on investment through industry training compared to other tertiary options and it is disappointing that the ITPs (Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics) have dominated the government’s proposed changes.” She says Competenz currently looks after 20,000 apprentices and trainees across 3,500 New Zealand businesses. The direct relationship between ITOs and employers is a key factor in the success of apprenticeship and workplace training. “The role of ITOs is crucial and with our direct line to thousands of employers, we understand the demand for trades better than anyone else. When we surveyed employers last year, they told us that ITOs perform a critical function and need more funding.

Biesse looks forward Biesse Group celebrates 50 years of Innovation and Technology, remembering half a century of history and success, with an irrepressible focus on the future. In 1969, Biesse machines revolutionised the furniture market, with solutions that served to set new technological standards in the industry. In just a few years, the company became an integral component and driving force within the Italian furniture district, conquering the entire national territory. Then, in 1989, the opening of the company's first foreign subsidiary marked the beginning of an intensive process of internationalisation, which helped to establish the brand worldwide. A journey marked by ambitious decisions, partnerships and investments in research, which enabled the company to create cutting-edge machinery, not only within the wood sector, but also for processing glass, stone, technological materials and metal, along with hightech products designed by the Group's mechatronics division and machining tools. A history built upon the genius and vision of founder Giancarlo Selci, which is now being carried forward by Roberto Selci, the CEO of the group, who has succeeded

"Innovation lies in details, and in careful attention to detail. It calls upon us to open our eyes and our horizons, diminishing obstacles and transforming them into opportunities, making each and every goal real. It is a switch that we can use to kindle curiosity and knowledge, creating the future." Giancarlo Selci founder of Biesse Group

in strengthening this "pocketsized" multinational, surrounding himself with strategic skills and expertise, thus increasing both the knowledge and technology within the company. Today, Biesse is an international group - a company that knows how to speak to the world. Biesse is profoundly aware of the fact that technology is innovation, and that in turn, innovation is only truly possible if we remain focused on the future, and on what we can create, and even before that, what we can conceive and imagine. Believing in the future also means channelling significant investment into producing tools and machines that can provide our customers with greater production efficiency, simplifying their work whilst ensuring the highest levels of safety, and improving the interaction between mechanical, electronic and software elements, making the products created by

the Group both “intelligent” and “collaborative”. The first step on the path which leads into the future was taken by Biesse when the Group decided to focus on creating digital factories tailored to each individual customer, from the smallest artisan producers to the biggest businesses. In investing in an IOT project, we are allowing ourselves to be guided by the new rules of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. We have decided to dedicate our “50 year” anniversary celebrations to the future, through a programme of activities which will be rolled out throughout 2019, the details of which will be clarified over the course of the year. More specifically, “Future in Tour” launched in January, a programme of celebratory events to mark the company's birthday with our customers throughout the world, beginning in Pesaro in January at the Biesse Group Headquarters and ending in Russia in December

2019, after a total of 18 events in 15 countries. The programme also includes three Grand Openings to inaugurate new Campus sites in various locations across the globe, as well as a very special edition of LIGNA 2019. “The contribution that our people have made to the business over all these years is a central theme. It is their work and their knowledge that has helped Biesse enjoy such great success globally. Accordingly, it is crucial that we listen to everyone, focusing on engaging and motivating each and every employee, from our manual workers to the Executive Director. Everyone must focus on doing what they are best at, and we must help each other to continue to grow and improve. And we can only do this well if we do it together”. 

Corinne Moore retires from executive Corinne Moore has been Executive Officer of Master Joiners since Oncall Accounting Limited were contracted for the position in 2002. JOINERS Magazine asked her for any thoughts on her time running the association. The initial focus was to manage and build up Federation funds and a healthy bottom line to enable promotional material and other benefits to be provided to all members free of charge, with no increase in subscription fees. This was achieved and subscription fees remained static for a total of 20 years until the last AGM. Membership increased from 125 companies in 2003 to 301 members today. The ensuing increase in administrative and accounting workload has meant major involvement and dedication by the Executive Officer, whilst retaining a happy business relationship with members and Executive. During her tenure with Master Joiners, Corinne was involved in the new branding review in 2004 producing the MJ logo, the production of the Health & Safety manual, compilation of the MJ Newsletter, introducing National Associate Membership for manufacturing suppliers, and maintaining the Website. Corinne also spent five of those years as Administrator of JMF New Zealand Limited, setting upsystems and management of the NZS:4211 compliance programme. The Branch Secretaries of Master Joiners have been a pleasure to work with and Corinne gives sincere thanks to the secretaries for their support and expresses the highest regard for all ten branch associations. The Presidents of the associations form the basis of the Executive and their countenance, wisdom and knowledge of the industry has all been very much appreciated. Her husband Kevyn Moore, with his NZ and international business experience, has been a valuable support to Corinne and assisted with

Thousands visit ‘SCM smart factory’ More than 2,500 visitors from all over the world were at the SCM central headquarters in Rimini from 31 January to 2 February. The event showcased the intelligent factory of the future for the woodworking industry, integrated with industrial and collaborative robots Visitors from all over Europe, as well as Asia, America and the Middle East flocked to the SCM Technology Center at the Rimini headquarters, for the “Smart&Human Factory” Open House. A record attendance that confirms the Italian giant as a leader at international level in the technologies sector for the second processing of wood and the furniture industry. After excellent results in 2018 with the entire Group’s sales figures in excess of 700 million Euro, SCM started 2019 under the aegis of innovation with an event entirely dedicated to the new frontiers in the digital and intelligent factory. A factory at the forefront where SCM state-of-the-art technologies are integrated with anthropomorphous industrial

robots, assigned to more strenuous work, collaborative robots that work safely and barrierfree alongside operators, and interconnected by unmanned vehicles with intelligent navigation systems. The result also brings progress on the work front, that not only means the factory can meet incoming demand from the market faster and more efficiently, but alleviates operators of the burden of repetitive work so they can focus on more high valueadded tasks. Inside the SCM Technology Center, set up for the occasion with more than fifty display solutions and those in progress, those attending were launched into the “Smart&Human Factory” that in three days worked on almost a thousand panels to produce four different kinds of furniture in record time.

Hundreds of professionals sought to learn more about the latest innovations researched and developed by SCM, including the after-sales services offered on fully digital platforms: from the IoT Maestro Connect system that gathers and analyses data from machines for an increasingly intelligent and predictive maintenance, to the Maestro Smartech glasses which, thanks to augmented reality technology, ensure clients always have an SCM expert by their side, wherever they are in the world.

display during these few days, without forgetting of course, the human factor, as the title explains ‘Smart&Human Factory’: the power of SCM of being not just a supplier, but a partner ready to support its clients in their business and tangibly accompany them every step of the way, in the era of 4.0 Industry”.

“The Open House - as the SCM Division Manager Luigi De Vito explains - was an exceptionally important opportunity to meet with our clients directly, so they could experience the new innovations at the factory of the future, first hand. The new frontiers in automation went on

During the three days, an example of the automated system for furniture production was explained at each stage of the process: from furniture production to the generation of machine programs and from panel processing to cabinet assembly.

A detailed look at the process: state-of-the-art cells interconnected by unmanned shuttle services for transporting panels

The process is completed with the passage of the pre-assembled cabinet in the action p clamp for a precise assembly and an efficient squaring of the piece of furniture, and with its transfer, again via AMR shuttle, towards the storage area.

Thousand visit ‘SCM Smart Factory’ (cont) The strength behind the made in SCM process is to optimise cutting, edgebanding and drilling operations as much as possible, as though production were on an assembly line, and put the orders back together at the end of the process, leaving customisation to this stage. This gives the furniture manufacturer an opportunity to resolve the critical aspects of mass customisation, by rapidly dealing with all the orders, personalising them according to demand thanks to the support of the software and simultaneously reducing waste, remains and the time taken for retooling the machines for an order change. In the “Smart&Human Factory”, the state-of-the-art SCM cells can be put together as you wish to meet the different panel processing requirements, with the advantage of being able to rely on a partner which has provided its clients with wholly integrated made-tomeasure and turnkey solutions, for more than 65 years.

Visitors were able to see new innovations in the factory of the future.

The latest nesting range and other SCM new entries During the demonstration given at the Open House, considerable focus was placed on the new morbidelli x200 and x400 nesting range, previewed on this occasion and designed to apply the best features of the “All-in-one” technology of the machining centres for the 5-axis panel, even to this kind of processing. In other words, in line with the demands from a market that is ever more focused on batch 1

production. From the work table to the heads to be drilled, from the space taken up, increasingly less invasive and ever more functional and intelligent, to the innovative warehouses: each detail in these machines, with their renewed design, has been designed extremely carefully, with a view to making all the essential features accessible, as regards efficiency, quality and business evolution As far as edgebanding is concerned, the undisputed leader was stefanicell, the new generation of cells for “batch 1” processing, with high-tech solutions, even with minimal investment, and the new “pickback” bridge system for the automatic return of panels, that guarantees simple, “just in time” production management. In the drilling/insertion island, the panels were not only drilled in the new morbidelli ux200d CN centre but also processed with the new, exclusive system with dual variable axis broaches, that can be adjusted according to the distance between holes. Once the working process was finalised in the operator machines, the panels were carried on a roller conveyor belt towards a KUKA anthropomorphous robot which put back together the kits, ready for the assembly of each individual order thanks to the instructions supplied by the Maestro watch supervision, control and data acquisition software. On the assembly island, the operators were assisted by three Universal Robots cobots to assemble the sideboards and apply the glue to the panels.

Visitors were able to see the new “Smart&Human Factory” model at work in the area dedicated to surface treatment technologies where, in parallel with the production of different kinds of furniture in other Technology Center areas, cabinet doors were worked on with the aid of a dmc system, designed to meet the needs of SMEs seeking the highest sanding and finishing quality. On exiting the sanding machine, another Universal Robots cobot further perfected the finishing. In this island, which also included the Superfici corner with all the latest in finishing and painting, visitors to the Open House were introduced to the exclusive integrated project for surface treatment developed by SCM with a view to presenting itself as first and only partner in Italy capable of providing a full panorama of products and services and exclusive, sought-after finishings, to satisfy all the process and typology needs of the end product. The new Surface Tech Lab is also part of this project dedicated to sanding and pressing at Villa Mare (Villa Verucchio) that integrates and complements the Superfici Technology Center dedicated to painting in Villasanta (Monza). Some of the most relevant new entries that visitors were given a preview of at the SCM Open House included the new Technology Centre in Villa Mare, as well as the new sergiani membrane 3d form press, capable of unique three-dimensional effects. 

But moving from almost zero production to full 4-axis CNC production is a very big step indeed. It was this big step that Stephen Hull and the team at Corinthian Doors made last year, investing in a Format-4 H200, from Felder Group. With Format-4’s renowned styling the H200 oozes power and performance. A flexible configuration - up to 15kW spindle, up to 36 tool positions and 24 drilling positions - means the H200 is the complete CNC package for doors, windows, staircases or other solid wooden joinery. Since moving from a few power tools to production via a high-end CNC, Corinthian doors haven’t looked back. Based in Highbrook, Auckland, Corinthian Doors provide interior doors to joiners and pre-hangers around the country. Part of international door and window group Jeld-Wen, Corinthian’s door blanks are constructed in Australia. Until recently most of

the decorative or custom work was either shipped in from Australia or contracted out around Auckland. GM Stephen Hull explains what led to the move to in-house production with the Format-4 CNC. “With delivery time from Australia always a factor, then to satisfy customers quickly then a CNC was the next step for us really. The Format-4 gives us full control over our production processes and timing, full control over quality, and full control of the decorative processing.” The Format-4 H200 is over five metres long so fitting it in meant sacrificing a chunk of floor space usually reserved for door stock. But as Stephen points out, the value of floor space given up has been more than matched by the flexibility the H200 provides. “We hold a lot more door blanks than we used to,” he explains, “because now we can custom produce what our customers require. No need to hold stock of each size in each style. We just make to order.” The processes that Corinthian can now carry out in-house include V, square and U-shaped grooving, as well as vision panels, and cut-tosize doors and edge work such as latch/lock holes with cropping. With plenty of door blanks and fast processing, meeting customer demand is much faster.

Corinthian have taken control of their processing quickly and effectively. It helped that the specification and aggregates were planned carefully with Jacks well in advance, and that within Felder Group’s Woodflash software Corinthian have built up a parametric library of their grooving styles. “From planning to production is simple – you pull up the door style required and enter the door dimensions. The software adjusts the tooling and sizing accordingly, and the machine does the rest,” says Stephen. “I was trained on the software at Jacks, before installation. Since then we’ve taken on a dedicated CNC operator who has expanded the programmes and who runs the machine.”

Running the machine is a serious business because the H200 is running all day every day of the week. “We’re busy,” says Stephen. “But now we’ve got shorter turn around times for our customers, along with less handling and shipping complications, then we have been able to take on work we wouldn’t usually have the time or skills for.” Stephen points out that now they have such sophisticated CNC technology then there aren’t many jobs he won’t consider. “For example,we had a customer bring in six solid-oak doors of varying sizes. He wanted them squared and grooved but didn’t want to risk it with power tools. For us, a change of tooling, some careful handling – these doors were over 90kgs each – and he was very happy with the result. It saved him hours.” With their CNC processing well organised and running smoothly, Stephen’s already looking towards the next challenge. “Front Entry Pivot doors. “A sheltered exterior glazed Blonde Oak door in a variety of styles. They’re cool.” With the speed and success of their move to a Format-4 CNC, then you get the sense that Corinthian doors have good times ahead.

Matt in melamine – exclusive to Panelform Panelform’s ZeroLine ‘laser-edge’ doors have proved exceptionally popular since they were launched in 2017. In their ‘Touchtex’ or melamine range, the Matt finish exclusive to Panelform has been the standout performer. Here’s why: Colours With their quirky names, Touchtex Matt finish doors capture your eye and your imagination. Ptarmigan’s Wing (pronounced: tar-mi-gan) has been the most popular, and Rumskulla Oak has been used to great effect either as a full kitchen or as a secondary colour alongside Ptarmigans Wing, Unicorn or High Tea. Finish Being a melamine, this finish does not strictly have ‘anti-fingerprint’ properties, but it might as well have! Touchtex Matt performs exceptionally well in busy kitchens due to its low sheen and flat, tactile finish. Substrate and Thickness Touchtex Matt colours are available in 18mm on an E0 MR MDF. Ptarmigans Wing and Rumskulla Oak are also available in 36mm for end panels. Durable Melamine wouldn’t be the popular surface it is if it didn’t stand up to the rigours of life in a New Zealand home. It’s still the most popular surface for good reasons. Panelform’s Touchtex Matt finish also comes with a protective film on the face to ensure easy handling and that the doors get to the client in perfect condition.

MAG Assembly

creates brilliance with HOMAG It could be said that the majority of customers who have invested in 4 and 5-axis machines never truly use them to their full potential. That’s not the with case specialist company MAG Assembly in Auckland. MAG Assembly combines creativity with their HOMAG 5-axis machines to produce not only a wide range of wholesale signs but also some of the most unique projects you will ever see. From waterproof cases submerged in a shark tank containing an Xbox ONE or illuminated sky signage mounted 25 stories up, to custom steering wheels and motorcycle crank case covers machined from billet aluminium. There is not much that MAG Assembly has not achieved with their HOMAG machines. Flashback to 1998 when Mike Parsons and Gary van der Geest teamed up to create MAG Assembly, contracting their engineering services back to their former employer who had down scaled their soft drink dispense manufacturing plants worldwide. Via a business contact the duo were approached by a large signage company, to produce 1000 lotto stands and shortly thereafter their first light box sign, and the rest is history. Now celebrating its 20th year of operation MAG assembly has grown to become New Zealand’s leading wholesale sign fabricator and provides end to end solutions for some of the most prominent global brands including GoPRO, Xbox, Dragon eyewear and Hyundai. Their 19,000 square foot factory is outfitted with in house paint booths, a machine shop, metal fabrication and assembly bays, call and collect departments, plus general engineering; and has over 50 staff working two shifts nearly 24 hours a day. The end to end supplier employs a creative team of five fulltime engineers with

Gary’s son Nick van der Geest, who design and assess everything from high rise sky signage, to pylons and all other types of illuminated and unlit fabricated signage. “Nick and the team from Tech Services are the brains trust, what we have done well is we have set up a full tech services team made up of young engineers. We old guys are no good at making up a CAD drawing or running a CNC, and these young engineers are full of awesome ideas. I like to go up to the young bunch and deliver them a brief and ask them to come up with something that will blow the customer away. “ said Gary “We do a lot of work with LED screens and that seems to be where everyone is at these days. There’s large sky signage 20-25 stories up in the air, a lot of people steer away from jobs that large but MAG Assembly has got a reputation of not being afraid of having a go at the trickier jobs” Gary said with pride. When you look at the kinds of projects the team has taken on, it is hard not to be in awe of their skill. The company has achieved much success and growth over the last 20 years, but as the saying goes ‘a master is only as good as his tools’ and their growth required machinery upgrades. Gary and Mike have integrated that logic into their business methodology to create a business that is creative, efficient, and effective and customer focussed. “One of the things we wanted to do was run efficiently as a wholesaler using good gear, so that we can keep costs at the right price so our end users make a good margin.” said Gary “When we invest in good, cool machinery, we make sure that it not only differentiates us from everyone else, but also give us an advantage over the competition while doing it efficiently and accurately as part of the equation.”

Getting the right tools for the job During their expansion the team sought out solutions that would align to their business objectives and production standards. The scale and scope of the work that MAG Assembly produced raised significant challenges when looking to upgrade and invest in new machines. These challenges included finding a machine that could; •

Increase production and manage larger material sizes for the production of sky signage and pylon signs.

Efficiently produce high quality products using a wide range of materials including plastics, Tru LED, ACM and aluminium.

Offer a routing solution that was reliable, durable and rigid with vacuum for sheeting.

“We do very little work with wood. We mostly stick to aluminium and plastics.” Nick stated, “We wanted a router so we needed a gantry machine that could manage the sheets.” “We looked at range of leading metal fabrication machine brands that do not have vacuum and use clamping only. We also found that

the gantry machines that are used in the marine industry still weren’t rigid enough. No one did a really rigid router, and this is what you want for good surface finish on metal, so you can increase feed speeds and production time. You can push the machine harder due to the rigidity.” After discussions with New Zealand based Technical Sales Consultant Alexis Pantelides, it was determined that HOMAG had machines that fit MAG Assembly’s production criteria and was willing to make any necessary modifications. “HOMAG has the machine that guarantees cutting aluminium from stock, and it really is the most rigid machine that we could get that had vacuum,” said Nick. However Nick went on to say that, many other brands weren’t willing to back the capability of their machines. “We looked at a range of their competitor’s brands but when we told them we wanted to cut metal on the machines they all disappeared and didn’t want to deal with us. HOMAG stuck around and said they would make it work. The industry is very small, and we all talk. A few guys have used cheaper solutions coming out of China and they all have


had a fair share of ‘interesting’ units that aren’t quite as well built as German units ... interesting outcomes indeed” chuckled Gary. Expanding capability In 2013 the company took delivery of a standard WEEKE BHP 200 Vantage 4-axis which was later modified and fitted with a c-axis and coolant system. The machine increased their capability and efficiency which gave them a massive competitive advantage. “We had the WEEKE which was the biggest one in NZ at the time and allowed us to cut the large ACM sheets, which no one else could do. And that was good because when we were building large sky signs or pylons we could cut the panels out of the large sheets and in doing so increase efficiency” said Gary. “We wanted to make sure we have that really good gear because we push our machines hard and we are busy running two shifts nearly 24 hours a day, it is pretty intense. We needed a second CNC because we were running out of capacity and if the other went down then we would have a backup. The last thing we needed was a cheap machine that would break down a lot because it couldn’t handle the job” The WEEKE now serves as the backup machine to a second bigger HOMAG BMG 311 which was purchased to help manage an increasing production demand and enhance MAG Assembly’s c a p a b i l i t y. T h e H O M A G 5-axis CNC received factory modifications to its spindles even further to increase its performance. “HOMAG sourced a true spindle and a micro lubrication system, because it is 5-axis the coolant had to run through the spindle so it would not tangle up with the hoses” says Nick “They also reached out to Leitz Tooling Systems to design a custom saw blade that connects to our 4-axis WEEKE and the

HOMAG. It’s a custom profile with carbide inserts 200mm in diameter. We use it for profiling and can run it at 40 metres a minute. On the HOMAG we have an aluminium tabletop so we are able to run normal fixtures as well. But what we did was machine up a triangular t-nut that slots into the bed of the HOMAG set up.” The investment on the two machines is paying off and have performed brilliantly while living up their reliable reputation.

No fear of tricky projects With their no fear approach to projects, the team tackles requests that range from the extravagant to bonkers. In 2013 they were approached by a creative agency representing Xbox to build a custom display box as part of the global launch for the new generation gaming console. The catch was, make a waterproof box that had to stay upright while being submerged in a salt water shark tank at a depth of 3.5 metres for one week. Nick reversed engineered a GoPRO case and machined the box on the WEEKE, the Xbox ONE was placed in the box and sent to the bottom. One week later it was opened on live TV, dry as a chip. This is just one of many successful projects of this kind. “We enjoy building a whole range of different projects, most of it is related to wheels as those projects tend to get the boys excited and the guys have a lot of fun with it” said Gary “we built a trike out of 16mm aluminium plate, and machined a custom steering wheel for my sports car” MAG Assembly’s work showcases not only their skill set and creativity but also highlights what a HOMAG 5-axis CNC is capable of. Not only is this machine capable of mass production, but also helping creative thinkers bring their ideas to life. 

Archant brings in the new face of luxury It's not always the latest thing that makes for the best possible design outcome - but it can be. Florim Stone, offered in New Zealand by kitchen solution experts Archant, is not only fresh to the market, it also offers many advantages that other surfaces can't compete with. Florim Stone is a new large-format porcelain sheet ideal for decorative surfaces. Lightweight, highly versatile and with stand-out aesthetic presence, the new material opens up uncharted possibilities in kitchen and bathroom design, letting designers create high-end settings they could not achieve before. Manufactured from a natural blend of clays and minerals, Florim Stone is impervious to stains, resistant to extreme high temperatures and UV rays. Plus, the advanced material is scratch-resistant, fadeproof, waterproof, completely hygienic and easy to clean. Archant senior manager Jason Ranston says Florim's versatility, broad range of finishes and sheer wow factor make it a real game changer. "First off, it's a beautiful, highly functional product. Porcelain stoneware is subjected to a firing process at over 1200°C, making it resistant to wear, mechanical stress and thermal stress hence its exceptionally high overall material performance. "Then there's Florim Stone's major drawcard of sheer design flexibility," Ranston says. "Available in two thicknesses, Florim sheeting options include the crisp neutrality of black or white tones, a warm wood-look texture, the refined appeal of veined marble or the standout impact of a metal, or concrete-look surface." The most popular of Florim's looks is marble. Finishing a kitchen wall, island or even a splashback in marble dug out of a Tuscan hillside is detrimental to the environment in

terms of an extremely high carbon footprint. However, the large-format Florim porcelain sheets, typically 3m wide, boast the luxurious look of fine marble but with a fraction of the impact to the planet. With four décor looks available in the Marble Collection, there is one to transform your space. The Cement and Metal Collections evoke industrial-look colours for bold, contemporary imitations of raw concrete or rusted metal. Capturing the natural look of stone, the four colours in the Stone Collection range from cool grey to warm beige to a deep and moody black effect. This versatile and popular range is ideal for complementing cabinetry and is an easy way to introduce refined tones into a room. Lastly, for minimalism and clean colour, the Colour Collection features straight white or black porcelain sheets. Offered in a matte finish, this range creates an edgy, crisp aesthetic. Florim is a breath of fresh air for those looking for a clean, minimal design without surface interruptions. And because it is offered in two thicknesses you can complete every part of the kitchen - benchtop, cabinet face, island front, toekick or splashback - in the same surface. In addition, Florim can achieve the same pristine matching decor in the bathroom. Myriad patterns and textures, some echoing expensive statuary stones; various sizes; and an extremely convenient, large-format product offering mean Florim Stone adds up to a surface that any designer would be proud to work with.

The ultimate kitchen surface is now available in New Zealand. Free samples and design kits available now. Full slabs ready for viewing at our Auckland showroom.

innovative & sustainable Waste Management Solutions from Hideaway As the demand for smarter waste management solutions increases, Hideaway Bins has developed more sophisticated solutions to help homeowners sort waste and recycling according to their requirements. Often homeowners want to split waste into multiple buckets to allow for different types of recycling or composting, as well as waste for landfill. Typically, this means needing a wide bin unit that will fit into a 600mm cabinet or compromising by having a narrow bin system that uses small buckets. The all new Concelo bin by Hideaway Bins has been designed to provide a bin system without compromise. A critical aspect of the design is having the biggest bucket to fit into the smallest space. The Concelo CR215D bin

are made from a natural starchbased polymer derived from corn and are plastic free. In warm moist conditions the liners degrade without leaving any harmful residues in the process and are safe for use in home compost or industrial compost. Hideaway Bins and the all new Concelo Range are distributed by our partners ~ Hafele our National Distributor, and our Regional Distributors ~ Carters, Impeys, ITM, Rose City and Scooters.

CR215 Artic White double bin from the Concelo range.

provides two 15 Litre buckets that can fit into a 400mm wide cabinet. With its height of 335mm, this allows 2 bin units to be stacked on top of each other to provide a 4-bucket solution. This maximises utilisation of the cabinet space whilst still providing practical sized buckets. The top buckets can be used to capture waste that

originates at bench height, such as organic waste – food scraps and peelings – and general waste – such as food packaging. The lower bins can be used for recycling.

For more information contact Hideaway Bins, (09) 426-7456 or www.hideawaybins.co.nz

The other advantage of using the Concelo bin with 15 litre buckets is the availability of Hideaway Compostable Bin Liners. These

Hammer C3 41 compact quiet quality Not far from Hastings’ main street is Rabbitte Joinery, run by Greg and Trudi Rabbitte. A Hawkes Bay local, Greg started out as part of a joinery collective in an old freezing works workshop in Whakatu, eventually making the move to set up shop on his own. Some canny purchases made on Trade Me got him his first set of machines, while his wife picked up 20/20 design software and soon Rabbitte Joinery was a team of 12, producing kitchens, vanities and wardrobes for the growing population around Havelock North and the wider Hawkes Bay. Rabbitte Joinery’s work comes entirely via word of mouth, and they have a reputation for taking on the design and build of more than just kitchens. “We don’t shy away from designer or complicated jobs” says Greg, “and we target quality. That means we need appropriate machinery to deal with the odd bit of solid timber – particularly for solid Oak tops.” The old buzzer and thicknesser in the corner were no longer giving the finish required, they were noisy, and taking up too much space. To save on space, minimise the decibels and improve the finish Greg purchased a Hammer C3 41, from the Felder Group. “The Hammer is just as big as our old machine – 400 wide – and has a similar power rating. But the difference in noise is incredible,” says Greg.

Greg Rabbitte purchased his Hammer C3 41 to save on space, minimise noise and improve on finish.

The main reason is Felder Group’s renowned ‘silent-POWER’ cutterblock technology – which provides a proven and significant reduction in noise while processing. Other benefits of the spiral knife set up include small chip size and therefore reduced volume of waste, longer tooling life, reduced power consumption and an excellent planning result. “Another benefit besides noise is

JOINERS Magazine March 2019 page 62

that we’ve halved our footprint by combining two machines into one” says Greg. “Swapping from one function to the other is quick and simple, and having the extra space is very useful.” Upgrading to the Hammer C3 41 is part of a wider strategy to maintain control over all aspects of production, and therefore ensuring a quality output. “Rabbitte’s

reputation is based on quality, and with the vast majority of our customers nearby then we like to be in control of the whole job” says Greg. “Which is why we offer design through to installation. And why customers keep coming back.”

Prestige winners upgrade extraction Prestige Joinery Ltd, winners of the Master Joiners Kitchen of the year 2018 have recently upgraded their manufacturing facility with a new Egmont Dust Extraction system As a family owned business, Prestige Joinery have been manufacturing kitchens and joinery throughout Wellington and Wairarapa for over twenty years and has been awarded a reputation for premium quality workmanship and excellent service. Mr Greg Morgan, owner and manager of Prestige Joinery wanted to replace their cyclone, and install a new system with more suction and that allowed quick easy collection and disposal of dust. Egmont Air made this possible with a new system that features direct-discharge of dusts into a bin with pneumatic clamping kit. When the bin is ready for emptying a flick of a switch disconnects the bin

from the system and it can be quickly removed, emptied and re-connected. As part of the upgrade Egmont Air also designed the system to replace the individual mobile bag extractors previously connected to the CNC. These units take up valuable floor-space, create noise, leak dust and suction is mediocre at best. The new Egmont system provided Prestige Joinery with one central point for collection of dusts, increased the suction at the CNC, and made the factory more spacious, cleaner and productive. The new system is designed with an energy-saving variable-speedfan that automatically adjusts airflow and suction to optimum levels while saving power. Mr Morgan comments “The new Egmont Air system is very efficient, we never need to empty messy bags anymore or worry about down-time and the hassle of using our own vehicle to dispose of the dust; also, the system is very clean and quiet too”.

Egmont Air offer a large range of products and solutions for joinery shops and timber processors anywhere in New Zealand. The Egmont Air dust extraction systems are a popular solution due to their modular design and heavy-duty construction design which focus on balancing high suction performance with energy savings. Egmont Air Systems are not only limited to wood-dust, many solutions are available off-theshelf for all types of dust or fume applications including smoke, fumes, paint spray, metallic dust and more.

SCM GROUP PRESENTS

CAMPUS The Training Centre set up by the world leader in machinery and industrial components is the culmination of a journey that from the very start has aimed to generate expertise that keeps up with new technological challenges and to pass it on to the sector's professionals worldwide. A practical response to the continuous technological and training challenges now facing the manufacturing industry. Driving business, but also socially responsible, both towards employees and collaborators and as regards the territory. Rimini is the starting point of the Scm Group “Campus” project, with which the world leader in technologies for machining a wide range of materials and in industrial components is relaunching and boosting what has always been its mission: to develop the most advanced expertise in these sectors and to pass it on to current and future professionals worldwide. “Campus”, inaugurated on Monday 28 January, at the new Villa Verucchio (Rimini) site, with representatives of the leading institutional authorities and school, professional and university educational organisations in attendance, is designed to coordinate and promote all activities for developing the professional, technical, operating and management skills of the 4,000 people currently working for the group at the three large production centres in Italy and the more than twenty foreign branches. Depending on requirements, some training courses also extend to dealers and end customers of the Scm Group network. But there's more: this centre is a reference point for Secondary schools, Universities, the various Professional training bodies and Business Schools with which Scm Group already works in Italy and abroad on alternating school work projects, apprenticeships and joint training initiatives, making available the high-tech aspects of its machinery and the know-how of its professionals.

The Campus will adapt what it supplies according to the challenges posed by technology and the market.

A further objective is to help to develop skills which promote technological innovation in the various sectors in which the group's companies are now selected as partners all over the world: from the furniture industry to construction, from automotive to aerospace, from boats to plastic processing. The 4 training paths of “CAMPUS” “Welcome” - aimed at all new employees at the onboarding stage. There is a theory phase in the classroom, covering the group's core business, and a practical phase with a shadowing period. “Technical Training” - supports specific technical training for the group's various technologies / product lines, the installation and maintenance methods for machines and/or systems, plus industrial and commercial

JOINERS Magazine March 2019 page 64

processes. Includes targeted paths for safety aspects and new technologies. “Leadership” - is for young graduates, people with proven technical expertise and managers from all company departments, allowing them to keep adding to their managerial, economic and relationship skills. “Focus on” - includes special projects, for acquiring knowhow and innovative and strategic working methods, as well as for supporting the network of employees and collaborators through times of major organisational change. Therefore, “Campus” is a dynamic Training Centre, able to adapt what it supplies according to the challenges posed by technologies and the market. A Centre coordinated by the Scm Group HR and Organisation Dept., with trainers both from within

the Group and from outside it, including freelancers and lecturers from leading Universities and Business Schools. Numbers & Activities “Campus” is spread over a total area of 1300 square metres, with 9 classrooms, offices and a Training Centre set up with Scm machines, dedicated to training support technicians. We predict that, during 2019, 500 courses will be provided, amounting to 52 thousand hours of training and involving around 3,200 participants. Priority subjects will be digital developments in manufacturing and Industry 4.0 and the training of support technicians. 

busy Kaitaia kitchen and joinery business Cabinet Works are proud of their self installed filter and pleased at the cost savings

Tidier - and all the dust and shavings in one place Brian Steed from Lake Ngatu, just north of Kaitaia is very happy the way things have turned out with his self install, carried out over Christmas. The busy joinery had several independent mobile dust extractors and an old hopper/cyclone system that was no longer keeping up with his dust. Established in 1993, Cabinet Works Ltd is owned and operated by Brian, who returned to Kaitaia after working in Australia and the UK. With all his staff being qualified tradesmen, or currently serving apprenticeships, having to shovel out the old inadequate hopper regularly and get completely covered in dust doing so was a dreaded task. With the new 2 module bag emptying filter from NZDUCT+FLEX in place, using a Danish JKF material handling fan to drive the extraction, Brian and his staff are amazed at the immediate improvement to the working environment now all the dust and shavings go to ‘one’ place. Small cheap mobile units scattered about a workshop always seem to leak fine dust all the time, but even knowing something needs to be done about it for sake of staff and

According to NZDUCT+FLEX, the average installation cost is roughly about 1/3 filter, 1/3 fan and ducting, and the final 1/3 is down to installation costs, especially if customers live in more remote areas and flights or accommodation are involved.

productivity, the cost of a large proper dust extractor built outside can be off putting. A good chunk of the cost of a new dust collector unit is the labour cost of erecting the filter. If your business is some distance from the supplier’s base, you have to pay for his staff to stay locally, their travel, and meals as well. According to Geoff Ebdon from NZDUCT+FLEX, “Any joiner who can design a kitchen full of the most awkward shaped appliances, juggle electricians, plumbers, tilers and benchtop guys along with their own fitting team, is capable of the assembly of their own dust system” and the company has been very successful in selling modular units directly to joiners and kitchen manufacturers who allow NZDUCT+FLEX to specify the correct sized filter and fan, plan the duct diameters and layout with a full sized CAD and once installed will support your electrician who will be connecting it.

by someone there really quickly. Their Sales Manager, Anton Napier, who visited our workshop allowed us to incorporate more savings by trying to re-use as much of the old ducting we had as possible in the new design. The Pneumatic blastgate on the saw is working really well – no one has to remember to turn it on and off as the electrician has wired it up to open with the saw. We also chose to take a trailer down and collect the unit and duct so didn’t even have freight cost to cover.”

Brian said “Everything looks tidier and its nice to have got ridden of all our mobile dust extractors. We appreciated the supporting documents from NZDUCT+FLEX when we built the filter unit and any questions we had were always answered

As all the Filter components, fans and LIPLOCK® duct system come from leading dust expert Danish JKF Industri (www.jkf.dk), the panels and galvanised duct are made from Swedish steel and everything is designed to work together.

The new easy to follow Flat FilterPack system is a way to get a proper full sized dust extract system, outside, at a lower price than achievable before. But if customers would rather their staff did what they are best at, building kitchens, then the company still offers the full turnkey option with their own installation team who are full time employees from NZDUCT+FLEX. It is comments from previous self build customers like Brian, that has helped NZDUCT+FLEX make the self installs as simple as possible for their customers.

William Foote

New building in Nersingen

died January 14 2019 aged 81 In 1954, William Foote decided he’d had enough of high school and left to get a job. A joinery apprenticeship was advertised in Geraldine and he cycled 25 km to apply for the job. On arrival he was told he was too late and that the vacancy had already been filled. Bill then cycled back to Temuka as bit disgruntled, but those who knew Bill, know he would still have had a smile on his face. Bill then received a phone call from Mauri Watson of Watson Construction who was very impressed that a young guy would cycle to Geraldine to apply for a job. They offered Bill a job, and two apprentices were started. Bill was with Watson Construction and living in Geraldine, when in 1964 he decided he would like to have his own joinery business. He got a loan and bought out a retiring joiner’s business in Temuka, taking on 3 apprentices and working out of an old lean-to shed. This meant a few run-ins with the Department of Labour who alleged the workshop was unsuitable. Fortunately, having won a Building Society Loan, Bill was soon able to build a new workshop. The inspectors were impressed and complimentary, but just had to have a last dig, pointing out there was no light in the toilet, amongst a couple of other silly things which were all easily rectified. Bill ran his own business in Temuka, training a total of 14 apprentices in his factory, until he retired. A low point while in business was a flood flowing through his factory in 1986, and Bill will tell you that the best high for him was meeting so many good people. The Waitaki Joinery Manufacturers’ Association was formed in 1978 and Bill Foote joined as a member. He was President of Waitaki JMA in 1983 and 1984, and joined the Joinery ITO in 1983, serving up until 1999 when he retired from business. At the conference in Auckland that year, Bill’s contribution was recognized by NZJMF with a wooden plaque and a gold watch. In 1999, Bill accepted the role of a JITO ATA, travelling the South Island visiting all the joinery businesses as an Apprentice advisor. He and his wife Jill travelled a great deal in this role, also covering the glazing industry, up until 2009. Bill remained very much involved as the much valued Secretary/Treasurer of Waitaki JMA when in 2011 he was presented with an Honorary Life Membership by the Master Joiners Association in recognition of his long and distinguished service to the joinery industry.

Biesse sets the course for the future Biesse Deutschland, a specialist in the CNC processing of wood, plastic, glass and stone, has made another step along its path to success. At the beginning of March, the business will move into its new building, the Ulm campus in a new business park in Nersingen, near Ulm. Biesse Deutschland is part of the internationally active Biesse Group and has grown continually since its foundation in 1997. The CNC machine manufacturer, present only in southern Germany in its early years in business, opened a branch office in Löhne in 2001 and with it, operations across Germany. The integration of Intermac Deutschland in 2002 and Diamut Deutschland in 2006 are additional milestones in Biesse Deutschland's history. As the site of the southern German subsidiary in Elchingen was bursting at the seams due to these developments, management looked out for a suitable building site that met all the requirements of size and location. In the newly opened industrial park in Nersingen, they got lucky. The new location stands out above all for its location, precisely at the point where Autobahn 7 meets Bundesstraße 10. The new company headquarters is currently being developed on the 6,000m2 area, which the company will name the “Ulm Campus” due to its many educational, training and exhibition options.

"By moving into this new building, we will more than double the area of our company premises. Therefore we are providing 1,600 m2 in floor space, on which we will not only have a number of our innovative machines and facilities that has never been there before, but also our software and IoT solutions. We will also provide our customers with a very modern teaching area in the new building, and with it ideal training conditions,” explains Jacek Pigorsch, managing director of Biesse Deutschland. In building the new branch, the Biesse Group has invested further in its worldwide branches, and at the same time, expanded its international leading position on an ongoing basis. "Our investment in this project is evidence of our commitment, to support our worldwide branches in developing for the future. Biesse Technologies are presented in the best possible way through the optimal framework conditions,” said Federico Broccoli, Wood Division/Sales Director and Subsidiaries Division Director. In March 2019, on the 50th anniversary of Biesse Group’s foundation, the new building should be finished right on time, and the move completed. For all customers and interested parties, Biesse Deutschland is arranging a major opening celebration on its open day this autumn. 

Due Process Geoff Hardy

The power of payment claims under the construction contracts act

T

he Construction Contracts Act 2002 (the “CCA”) was introduced because the New Zealand construction industry was behaving badly at the turn of the century. Payments weren’t flowing down the chain to where they were badly needed, and disputes took far too much time and money to resolve. So the Government followed the lead already taken by a number of other western countries, and passed the CCA to address these issues. The main thrust of the CCA is to get payment to the contractors at the bottom of the pile promptly, and the two main ways it does that, are payment claims and adjudication. All building contractors should take advantage of those two processes, because they are fast and relatively inexpensive compared to suing in the courts or going to arbitration. Both of them result in money changing hands, but they aren’t necessarily intended to be the final say in the matter. In fact the idea was that the parties would then fall back on one of the standard dispute-resolution procedures (mediation, arbitration, litigation, etc.) to sort out who is really entitled to the money at the end of the day. Payment claims and adjudication provide an interim solution, although in many cases the parties choose to treat that solution as final. A contractor who does building work would be mad not to use payment claims, because they provide an additional method of getting paid, that you otherwise wouldn’t have. And it’s not hard to take advantage of it. All you have to do is make some changes to your standard claim forms or invoices so that they satisfy the criteria for a payment claim. That means they have to be in writing, contain sufficient details to identify the construction contract

to which the progress payment relates, identify the construction work and the relevant period to which the progress payment relates, state a claimed amount and the due date for payment, indicate the manner in which you calculated the claimed amount, and state that it is made under the Construction Contracts Act 2002. In addition, there has to be attached to it or included with it, a page and a half of fine print that explains to your client what the payment claim process is all about. Previously that fine print only had to be provided to “residential occupiers” but as from 1 December 2015, it goes on all payment claims regardless of whether the client is residential or commercial. Your client has the opportunity to respond with a “payment schedule”, which must be in writing, must identify the payment claim to which it relates, and must indicate a “scheduled amount” (the amount of your payment claim the client proposes to pay). If the scheduled amount is less than the claimed amount, the payment schedule must indicate the manner in which the client calculated the scheduled amount, the client's reason for the difference between the scheduled amount and the claimed amount, and where the difference is because the client is withholding payment, the client's reason for withholding payment. The important point is that if the client does not provide you with a valid payment schedule by the deadline (20 working days after your payment claim is served, or whatever date your contract says) then the whole amount you claimed in your payment claim is payable without question. Even if the client does get a valid payment schedule in on time, if it says you

JOINERS Magazine March 2019 page 68

are going to be paid a certain amount, then that amount has to be paid. Either way, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you get to keep the money for good, because the client can still bring separate proceedings to try to claw some or all of it back. But it does mean the money has to flow out of the client’s bank account and into your bank account in the meantime, and you can pay it out to your subcontractors, suppliers, staff and spouse. If the client still doesn’t pay, there are two ways of enforcing a payment claim. One is in the District Court, which is a slow process, but the client has to reimburse you for your legal costs if you win. The other is by asking a CCA adjudicator to confirm you are entitled to the money, and then getting the adjudicator’s award entered as a District Court judgment. That is faster, but you won’t necessarily be awarded costs. Whichever process you use, once the client gets some legal advice and realises he doesn’t have a leg to stand on, he will often throw in the towel. You can see how using payment claims can give you some extra leverage, which is what they were intended to do. But the price for that is that you have to be reasonably careful about complying with the payment claim criteria in the CCA. That doesn’t mean you have to comply to the letter, because there have been plenty of cases saying that the courts will forgive mere “technical quibbles”. But there have also been some cases where payment claims have been ruled invalid, and you don’t want to discover that yours are invalid after you have spent thousands of

dollars in legal fees working your way through the court process. At least at the outset, you need some professional help to make sure you get the template right and you know how to fill in the payment claim each time. There are a variety of reasons why a payment claim might be invalid. You might not have satisfied all the criteria in section 20 of the CCA (which are summarised earlier in this newsletter). For example, in one case the payment claim didn’t indicate the due date for payment. In another, the payment claims made no effort to explain or verify their contents and were difficult to understand, so the Judge found they failed to identify the relevant construction work or indicate the manner in which the claimed amount was calculated. In a further case, the Judge said it was “at least arguable” that a payment claim cannot just specify the hours worked per worker, and must actually state what they did. There have even been cases where the mere presence of a few typographical errors in the fine print, or sending the fine print a day later than the actual payment claim, were enough to invalidate the claim. So to sum up, payment claims can be useful, but you need some training to get them right. 

BCITO acknowledges radical changes to vocational education training system Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO) Chief Executive Warwick Quinn acknowledges the significance of the changes to the vocational education training system proposed by the Minister of Education, Hon Chris Hipkins.

Quinn says it is important to ensure we continue to meet the immediate needs of our employers and apprentices while also transitioning to a new system where needed.

“Vocational training is vitally important to New Zealand’s continued growth. There is no doubt that the Vocational Education Training system (VET) has experienced issues for a long time which need addressing. We also believe there are some parts which are working very well. The key is to protect what works while updating the areas which are failing to deliver for New Zealand,” says Quinn.

“We look forward to working with the Government and industry to carefully manage any transition.”

“At a time when New Zealand needs more skilled employees in the trades, our priority is ensuring

“We believe there is an opportunity to reposition vocational-based qualifications as high-quality career pathways,” he says.

the system we develop is fit-forpurpose and will help us deliver the growth New Zealand needs across the next 20 years. “Much of the current ITO system is working very well and the focus must be on retaining these aspects. However, we understand there are greater issues within the ITP sector and acknowledge the need for greater change there.

“We must be careful to not throw the baby out with the bathwater, and ensure we protect what is working well, particularly for high need sectors such as building and construction. As these changes are radical, we will now spend some time working through what they mean for vocational training, employers and apprentices, and the wider industry.”

Steering a course Ian Featherstone

First things first – back to basic principles

H

appy New Year! I'm writing this in mid-February and have noticed that many businesses are only just getting up to speed for 2019. It's great to take a break, but the NZ holiday period does take a toll on businesses – not only the lack of trading days, but the loss of momentum after shutting down. It's difficult to quickly get back to the pace at which we finished 2018. Hopefully, those of you who are business leaders had some time to reflect and plan for 2019 and beyond, and have somethings to work on for yourself and your people.

I often say to my clients that I won't bring too much original material but refer to some classic principles and references. One of my favourites, which I use frequently is “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Steven Covey. I recently gave a copy to one of my client's managers, and they're finding it a really useful tool for selfimprovement, and in dealing with others, as well as the practicality of time management. I thoroughly recommend this book and hope that this brief summary below will get you interested enough to seek out more ways to help you and your team.

Habit 1: Be proactive Proactivity has a lot to do with a person’s “circle of influence”. What you can control, what you can influence and what is out of your reach. You become aware of the fact that you're the architect of your own life and with this knowledge you set to work. Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind This is the habit of vision, objectives, and goal setting. Beginning with the end in mind means that when you make decisions today you consistently take into consideration what you stand for "in general". This has to do with the principles and guidelines you choose to live by, what you find important in life, what you stand for, what you want to accomplish. Habit 3: Put first things first This habit has to do with integrity, discipline, sticking to your agreements. What is life about, and how do you wish to shape your own life? Knowing this, will help you get to work proactively while setting the right priorities. Habit 4: Think win-win This is a habit that requires a paradigm shift. It's tempting to think in terms of winning OR losing or wanting to be right – but the trick is to recognise that there is an alternative. You'll be independent but at the same time you realise that you can accomplish more by co-operating with other people. You know what you have, but you also realise that you need the other person. You can accomplish this by thinking in terms of win-win. Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood This is the habit of listening – one of the fundamental qualities of a leader or a coach. Concentrate

JOINERS Magazine March 2019 page 70

first on understanding the other person and then put energy into being understood. Habit 6: Synergise This is the habit of strengthening; the pitfall is compromise. It means that your approach is fundamentally based on respect, co-operation and trust. The objective is to find the third path: how can two viewpoints be combined into something better? Habit 7: Sharpen the saw This is the habit that tells you that it's worth improving yourself and to always persevere. It’s not just your plant and equipment that needs maintenance; you also do! By taking plenty of exercise, rest, and meditation you'll keep your body, mind, relationships and personal belief systems in balance. 

2018 Supreme Award winning kitchen by Leonie Metge of Cube Dentro.

Excellence in Design

F

or members of the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association of New Zealand, the most anticipated time of the year is finally here – as entries are now open for the Excellence in Design Awards for 2019. Hundreds of talented designers across New Zealand, are now busy submitting their work for judgement and to be in the running for one of New Zealand’s most hotly contested kitchen and bathroom awards. The judges this year are Leonie Metge of Cube Dentro, Alice Lines editor of homestyle, Damian Hannah of German Kitchens, Architect Chris Tate of Chris Tate Architecture and Natalie Du Bois of Du Bois Designer Kitchens and Interiors. The inside word is that the 2019 judges are looking for innovation and style, but that functionality and layout are still vital to the success of any space. Damian Hannah of German Kitchens said that he will be most interested in designs where ergonomics and functionality are front and centre. “I truly believe form follows function in kitchen and bathroom design,” said Hannah. Entries to the design awards close on 9 April 2019. From there judges will begin deliberating and the award winners will be announced at the Excellence in Design

Awards on Saturday 20 July. This year the awards are being held at the Crown Melbourne and it will be a night to remember for all who attend, not just the winning few. Suzie Rees, Executive Officer of NKBA NZ, says the decision to host the awards and the NKBA Conference in Melbourne was made for many reasons. “Who doesn’t love Melbourne. It’s an incredible city where good design is everywhere. Not only does it have excellent restaurants and shopping, but this year we have timed our conference with the Décor + Design Expo. It is being held on Thursday 18 July in Melbourne and finishes on Sunday 21 July. This gives NKBA conference attendees the perfect opportunity to check out the event on Thursday or Sunday at the Décor + Design Expo and be further inspired at Conference on the Friday and Saturday with their fellow NKBA members and industry peers. It is going to be a truly special occasion,” said Rees.

STATE OF THE INDUSTRY Reports from Branch Presidents March 2019

AUCKLAND Auckland / Northland has again remained extremely busy over these extremely hot summer months. We found ourselves fully stretched leading into Christmas with the expectation that January and February would start off a little bit slow - how wrong can you be. All the joinery shops in our region are reporting larger workloads then we would typically see for this period and most of the joiners are on an 8-week lead time from confirmed orders. Our Associate members can often give us a really good gauge on how busy we all are.They tend to be out and about on the road calling on customers and hear first hand on how we are going. Most of our associate members are also reporting record sales for this time of the year, which is a really positive sign. The Auckland / Northland region of Master Joiners is also going very well, our membership is still continuing to grow with generally at least one new member joining every quarter. We just had our annual fishing trip which was really well supported with 45 member and associate members enjoying a great evening on the Waitemata Harbour fishing / drinking and a BBQ on board (all very well behaved). Our prizegiving will take place at our next meeting. We are still holding 2 separate meeting, one with the solid timber joiners and one with our cabinet makers but hopefully this will change in the very near future and we will combine the meetings.I believe that JMF is still the major driven force behind Auckland Master Joiners practically as NZS:4211 continues to get stronger and has become almost mandatory with the Auckland city council. We are starting to be asked to supply a producer statement now from Architects as a requirement of their resource consent application. Auckland / Northland is still facing a massive labour shortage of tradespeople right across the whole building industry. This shortage of staff is actually right across every industry whether you are a lawyer / accountant / doctor / nurse / or in the retail industry - I hear the same comments Can’t Get Any Staff. That’s about it from me for now, Keep your heads down. – Dave Cunningham

CANTERBURY Welcome to 2019. Our members are reporting a steady to busy workload, many indicating that they have a few months work ahead of them. We are still facing a shortage of staff in our region even though we were informed by one training provider that 28 apprentices attended a block course at the end of 2018. We were pleased to host the ARA prize giving at our November meeting. This was a different format to past years, but was a good way for apprentices to meet the suppliers who donated a lot of money towards the tools they received. Many of these apprentices’ employers were present which shows the continued support for them. I have just heard of the government’s announcement of major changes involving all ITO’s involved with building and construction industry training. We will have to watch this space on the effects. Regarding staff, there was a slightly heated discussion about staff poaching at our last meeting. The unwritten rule is that this is unacceptable Master Joiner practice as far as our Canterbury members are concerned. Christchurch is still rebuilding with a couple of anchor projects in the early stages. Our refurbished Town Hall is due to open at the end of February, blowing the budget, followed by the new school site for Shirley Boys High and Avonside Girls High. These projects have brought a lot of work into Christchurch for our members. There have been no issues with payments or bad debts reported lately in Canterbury and it’s also encouraging to see our local membership growing. We received notification of Corinne Moore’s retirement from Master Joiners. On behalf of the Canterbury Master Joiners I would like to wish Corinne all the best and thank you for the tireless effort you have put in over the last 15 plus years. - Mark Allworthy CENTRAL This has to be the most hectic start to a New Year myself and most of our members have ever experienced. Workloads are off the charts and many local joiners are informing clients that lead times are getting up to 6 months from acceptance. Unfortunately, this is not only due to heavy workloads, our industry

JOINERS Magazine March 2019 page 72

is experiencing somewhat of a crisis due to the lack of trained staff available to complete the work on offer. It’s great to be in a situation of having work to burn but if you haven’t got the staff numbers to complete the work, you find yourself turning it away. The joinery industry has hit a crisis point where we are guilty of not training enough apprentices over the last 10 years to replace the staff retiring and seeking other avenues with better pay. If we don’t start working together to make our industry more attractive, not only for young people coming in but the staff we have, this will only get worse. Unfortunately, Joinery is a very low paying trade compared to others and when people can earn $5 plus more an hour for standing behind a counter or driving a forklift around a yard, we really need to take a good hard look at how we can stop this influx of good tradesmen disappearing from the trade. I feel other trades are way ahead of us in terms of working hard to retain their staff by giving them fair pay for their time and commitment to the company and therefore don’t have staff moving to other similar trades seeking higher hourly rates. I have no doubt we could turn this around by all working together to make our industry more attractive to our existing and new tradesmen. On a more positive note the Central MJ have our annual Ambrose Golf tournament coming up on the 15th of March.This is a highlight of our calendar that attracts all the hackers and real golfers out of their workshops for a fun day (and evening). I’d recommend to all the other areas to do this - you’d be surprised with the response you get. – Andrew Reilly HAWKE’S BAY/ POVERTY BAY Even though we are now well into 2019 I would like to wish all in the Master Joiners a Happy New Year. We are nearing the end of February and while most in our region have started the year with gusto and good amounts of work to get stuck into, for others it has been a sluggish start to the New Year trying to get some traction with patchier workloads. Partly this is down to builders starting back a bit later and the trades in general taking longer (and in most cases deserved) breaks. The enquiry rate is still relatively

high for all types of work with many large commercial projects out for tender at present. Looking ahead for 2019 Our Region has a solid amount of New Homes being built and the commercial sector has many large projects underway or due to start. HB airport, Hastings Police station, Hastings hospital, Royston Hospital and numerous school projects to name a few. Price increases for board and hardware items continue to come through. It feels like we have a price increase every week on the various products we use. That coupled with the rising fuel costs will likely slow things down. We will need to be wary of the inevitable economic climate change. Supply at present for most board material as well as hardware doesn’t seem to be a problem. On the whole, delivery of most items is within a good time frame. Locally we have a few important dates coming up. The first meeting of the year will be at the Clive River bar with a pool competition after the short meeting on Wednesday the 13th March. Our Master Joiner awards dinner is booked for 4th May. With expressions of interest at a good level it is shaping up to be a great night and one I am definitely looking forward to. Lastly another important date March 7th will be our last executive meeting with our long standing (and long suffering, to put up with a bunch of Joiners) Secretary/ Executive Officer Corinne Moore. Many would agree Corinne has steered the ship along with a number of Presidents (past and present) for many years. Corinne’s tireless efforts and dedication over these many years of service to the joinery industry has been a major part of making the Master Joiners Brand what it is today. Corinne was also Hawkes Bay/Poverty Bay MJ Secretary for a number of years and without her assistance and guidance I would have floundered a lot more than I have. I would like to formally wish her all the best in her retirement (or semi-retirement).Thank you, Corinne. – Simon Molloy NELSON / MARLBOROUGH A great 2018 – business booming, work flowing over into 2019. Retention and training of staff has grown exponentially in the region. Investment in new people, new machinery, new software, new


show rooms. Things are looking good in the region.What next? As part of this year’s strategic focus we are now driving change within business. Crowe Horwath, an associate member, will be supporting us through presentations focusing on the simple stuff we might forget, taking on the right type of jobs, resourcing effectively, retaining margin! Feedback from the membership clearly indicates a busy year ahead, so knowing and understanding where and why the business makes or loses money is a key business emphasis. Already members are focusing on our own regional Joinery and Design Awards, this channel of celebration continues to have a two fold effect. Local members have a chance to celebrate their work, whilst many of the entrants participated in the national Master Joiners Awards. Last year Nelson/Marlborough represented over a third of all national winners. The JADA awards are open to NKBA members also, again working together with the others within our industry for the betterment of our member. We continue to focus on working closely with our local training providers. Late last year we achieved our own personal target numbers of apprentices in the regional workforce. This year we wish to sustain an apprentice ratio to employed workforce. This is a KPI that will remain high on our meeting agendas. Out of area joiners pricing and winning work in our region continues to be of concern. One hopes the rates that this brings to the region are fair and equitable. – Myles Sellers OTAGO / SOUTHLAND Everyone has been well rested and back to steady workloads with the region, as a whole, still in a buoyant position. By the areas, Southland is steady and starting to get into the development stage with a centre city upgrade and new hotel about to start and make an impact. Our major industry employer Tiwai has re-started their 4th pot-line, there is a reported housing shortage within the region, so the immediate outlook is for more of the same for this year. Dunedin is also picking up in both commercial and residential with members reporting full workloads and saying that the future looks steady without being spectacular. Central Otago is still growing at a startling rate with joinery being fed into the area from Joiners from all over the South Island. This looks like it will continue for the immediate future. So, all in all a very positive outlook for the next 12 months. We have noticed a slight extension to material delivery times

but nothing causing any major concern with careful planning.On the Master Joiners side of things we had our first meeting for the year with a good turnout of members. We had considerable discussion over apprentices and the proposed government changes to the Polytech structure and what potential impact that could have on our workforce training.We extend a welcome to Allison in her new role within the Master Joiners organisation and extend our thanks and best wishes to Corinne for the huge effort and impact she has had on the Master Joiners over the years and wish her well for her retirement. All in all, the region is in good heart and looking forward to a steady year ahead. Peter Fisher TARANAKI Taranaki has had a steady start to 2019 and workloads are gradually picking up. Some members are busy, others just steady, but with national statistics reporting levels of building consents not seen since 2004, predictions are for a busy year for everyone in the construction industry. Smaller regions like Taranaki are not experiencing the crazy workloads being reported from the larger centres but the signs are that there is going to be plenty of work throughout the year. With the great spell of fine weather we are experiencing, time frames should be a little easier to work to without weather induced hold ups. Locally there are some good signs within the oil industry after several years of being in limbo and a number of companies changing ownership, things seem to have settled down and there are rumours of drilling starting again on existing permits sometime in the near future. This will still take some time to gather momentum and have any effect on our industry but it is great news for the region.The existing home market still seems to be going well mainly in the mid to lower price bracket. With good land to build on hard to find and expensive, people are choosing to purchase existing properties and renovating. Either way, new homes or existing, it’s good for our industry. Amongst all the good news there is still some disappointing news with two group home franchises being put into liquidation in Taranaki. I guess it is a timely reminder that this can still happen, even with good workloads, costing contractors large amounts of money and we all need to be vigilant. The age-old issue of finding qualified staff is always going to be around but the qualified workforce is still not growing quickly enough and Taranaki is not spared from this

problem. Continuing to train staff is the only way we are going to keep up with demand. – Rhys Powell WAIKATO / BAY OF PLENTY Is it just me or does this year seem to be going faster than ever before?! The hot weather has made for a lot of summer fun, but sadly the farmers must be struggling - what were green paddocks before Christmas are now golden brown.New builds and subdivisions are still underway in our region. Members are busy, some reporting kitchen enquiries were slightly slower in the New Year but seem to be coming in steadily now for both new builds and renovations. Timber Joinery seems to be steady in certain areas. Issues with freight and courier company deliveries experienced here and there pre-Christmas seem to have settled down with the New Year. Don’t forget those letters of impending price increases you filed away last year, now is the time to take those into consideration when quoting all this work! Qualified tradesmen and apprentices are still being sought after, with workloads not slowing.With this in mind it will be interesting to hear how successful the BCITO initiative to attract apprentices has been. No doubt this will be discussed at the AGM and the Waikato & Bay of Plenty Apprentice Awards at WINTEC in Hamilton in May. We’re looking forward to another great evening celebrating the achievements of our up and coming craftspeople.Friday 22nd February will see a number of keen members heading to the Coromandel to take part in the second Ken Monk Fishing Competition. With potential heavy rain and wind forecast, this may or may not eventuate - the fishing stories may have to be fabricated over a beer some where dry! It’s a good time to start thinking about booking flights to the Master Joiners Conference &Awards in Invercargill (unless of course you live on the Mainland, then you may wish to drive!). There’s more to see and do around the area than many people realise, so why not takethe opportunity to do so. It’s always good to catch up with peers and compare notes on topics that affect most of us in the industry. There seems to be more and more members attending every year, with the Awards themselves always hotly contended.Wishing you all a productive and prosperous year ahead.– David Higgins WAITAKI. Most firms have reported in now and the trend seems to be the same for most. Everyone is reporting that they are very busy post-Christmas

break and with good positive leads and forward workloads for the start of the year. One firm has reported that they have not priced very much commercial work locally and that most of their commercial work priced has been out of town stuff, which is concerning for them. However, they are very busy at present. One or two firms have reported that they have taken on extra staff, while a few others have said they could do with more staff but finding them is not easy. No firms have reported any problems with materials. All good there. Financially, all firms are reporting that they are getting paid with no problems. However, a couple of firms have said that they do have a couple of slow payers but nothing out of the ordinary. In general, everyone in the Waitaki region is very positive and happy about the industry at present and hopes that it will continue for the year to come. – Warren Atwill WELLINGTON With the Christmas rush now a distant memory, we are all back into the new year and getting stuck into the work ahead of us or trying to finish last year’s jobs for some of us. As I travel from job to job, I can’t help noticing the amount of construction going on in the Wellington region.With big projects like transmission gully and associated expressways underway, these will surely open up more land for much needed housing and with huge amounts of work out there and endless jobs to price I can see this being another great year. With all this extra work out there, we need to make sure we are keeping our apprentice numbers up as skilled trades people are extremely hard to find and poaching them from each other doesn’t help any of us. Last year we saw a lot of our local members working together in various ways, from sharing jobs to doing jobs between multiple members. Personally, I think this is a great way to focus on key strengths within our own business, without trying to do everything, especially for those of us trying to grow our business without huge cost outlay. At our last meeting of 2018 our members voted for us to dip into our local funds and purchase a vehicle for Allison to pilot around on her many missions for us all and I would like to thank all our members that have helped to choose a vehicle and to decide on the signwriting, I’m sure we are all excited to see what we have created. I would like to wish all our members a great year ahead.– Jeremy Patmore

H& &S with Kathy Compliance

Get used to the focus on health and safety Welcome to 2019. Another year with a focus on health and safety. Just like the focus last year, and just like the focus will be every year for the rest of your working life. Get used to it! Machinery guarding has been in the news a bit recently. It’s a difficult topic for machinery manufacturers and suppliers. A lot of time, energy and money goes into ensuring machinery for sale in NZ meets or exceeds the NZ guarding requirements. Sounds simple, but in reality there’s often a distinct lack of specificity around what guarding requirements are, and instead the law requires ‘all practicable steps’ to be taken to ensure a danger or hazard has been eliminated or minimised. At Jacks the process of ensuring a machine is suitable for NZ conditions flows through from pre-purchase checks such as assessing instruction manuals and wiring diagrams, making the European ‘CE’ standard a minimum requirement, and carrying out a check as new

models arrive – just to double check a manufacturer’s claims are matched by reality. Occasionally we have to retrofit guarding or safety circuits to meet NZ standards. Such work is usually minimal, and it is increasingly the case that manufacturers we represent produce machines that are designed with safety in mind, so no modifications are required. Every now and then we get a tricky machine. One in particular has been assessed multiple times and safety requirements interpreted differently each time. The results vary from compliant through to requiring three additional guards, all for exactly the same machine. It’s very frustrating for us – trying to ensure safety requirements are met but getting mixed messages about what is acceptable and what isn’t. But that’s our problem.

your assessment slightly more often than you think necessary, and certainly if anything about your machine changes.

record of why you’ve done so, and that you’ve considered the additional risks that your changes introduce.

The machines Jacks sell are – to the very best of our knowledge and experience – as safe as can be, and compliant to NZ standards, meaning you can buy with confidence. But buying a machine from a reputable dealer who takes safety seriously only covers part of your responsibility for safety. Just as important is carrying out your own risk assessments.

For example, perhaps you’ve replaced a drop-saw with an upcut saw. Now you have a fully enclosed blade, and two-handed operation means digits cannot come near the blade. But perhaps the hood, or the tunnel guards, or some other aspect of that upcut saw actually impede your particular use of the machine. Perhaps you have the machine right up against a wall because you’re only docking one end of short sticks of timber, and so and you remove one of the tunnel guards because it stops you fitting the machine where you need it. Now you’ve modified the machine to suit your particular situation, and you’ve removed a safety feature.

While your machinery provider should have carried out an assessment, using their knowledge of the standard application of the machine, your use of the machine may be different. Your positioning of the machine may vary from how it was designed to be placed. (And remember if you don’t have your machine commissioned and installed then safe placement is something you are fully responsibility for). You may change the tooling significantly. You may remove guards or other safety features of the machine to enable you to use the machine the way you require it to be used. In situations such as this is it crucial you have a written

A written risk-assessment – which needn’t take more than 10 minutes, working from a template – will record the fact that you have thought about safety as part of your modification, and that you’re satisfied any new risks are minimised or are acceptable. Perhaps being against the wall means that no one can get a hand in that side of the machine anyway. As part of your assessment you might identify extra things you can do to further minimise the risk: signage insisting the machine isn’t moved away from the wall; fixing the machine to the floor. Perhaps extra training. Write it down, date and sign it, and you have your risk assessment. Review

JOINERS Magazine March 2019 page 78

Even when you use a machine in the most standard way, you are required to have considered the risks of your particular workplace, and to record your findings. Low ceilings, tight spaces, blind corners, adjacent machines and any other factors particular to your workshop may introduce a risk and require a guard that a machinery manufacturer or supplier hasn’t foreseen. You also need to be sure that everyone that uses that machine knows how to use it – usually via a Safe Operating Procedure (SOP). Usually based on the instruction manual, and SOP outlines safe operation of the machine, how to carry out processes specific to your workplace (which won’t be in the manual), and what guarding is on the machine. We all know of situations where someone’s removed a guard (undoubtedly to clean it properly…) but not put it back. Your SOP will describe how to use the guards, so if they’re missing a user following the SOP can tell. We do our best to sell you the most appropriate, affordable and safe machine for your particular situation. But don’t assume we, or the manufacturer, have thought of every guard or safety feature you need for whatever processes you might carry out at your workplace. Do a risk assessment and take the practicable steps necessary to be safe. Keeping a record proves you have considered the risk and justifies your decision. Your decision might be disputed in the event of an accident but by doing your best to keep yourself and your team safe, you’re more likely to save yourself a substantial fine, and a lot of hassle. 

The Seismount panel restraint is an extension of the Fastmount PanelSafe range, which provides added security and control to removable ceiling and wall panels. The restraint was designed with the high volume, commercial customer in mind, with its design taken back to basics to deliver a cost effective system without sacrificing high performance. The Seismount allows ceiling panels to be suspended 225mm below the ceiling substrate for convenient servicing and controlled removal of the panel, with a quick unhook of the strap from the mounting screw. When used with large wall panels, the Seismount provides extra security and controlled removal by one person. Once installed, the restraint folds flat into the space between the panel and substrate (fitting snugly into a 2.5mm gap), allowing a panel to be removed and replaced countless times before compromising strength. Its break load of 144kg per restraint (SGS NZ) ensures that large or heavyweight ceiling panels will remain secured. The restraint is available in two metal types - galvanised steel (PS-SR225S), recommended for architectural applications, and stainless steel (PS-SR225SS), recommended for marine, with no special installation tools required. ThePanelSafe Seismount is available from authorised Fastmount distributors worldwide, accompanied by Fastmount’s range of panel mounting systems. www.fastmount.com
