Jacks announce return of a classic

Joiners of a certain age will be very familiar with the Weinig Profimat. From 1979 through to the early 2000s, the Profimat series found many homes in joinery factories and jobbing workshops before being discontinued.

The Profimat series now returns with two new models: the Profimat 30 and the Profimat 50. These machines are aimed at delivering the ease of use enjoyed by users of the popular Weinig Cube fourside planer, with the additional capability to be run as a moulder.

Skilled machinists are very hard to find, and the touch screen CNC controls of the new Profimats will enable manufacturers without fourside moulding experience to get started without having all that knowledge in-house. They will also be a great replacement for those old Profimats that are now getting quite long in the tooth - or for companies that no longer have “the old guy” who can set up and run a fully manual moulder!

With CNC controls, working sections up to 260x160mm, and feed speeds up to 30m/min, these machines over a new level of performance at entry level prices. And even better, they’re fully plug and play – you can even move them around on a (big) pallet jack.

The new Profimats should find a home in small to medium timber machining operations, larger joiners, timber suppliers, furniture manufacturers, or Cube users looking to take the next step.

A Profimat 50 will soon be available to view and demonstrate at Jacks Auckland. Contact Jacks on 0800 522 577 to arrange a time to visit.
