To cut sheet materials most operators use table saws or hand-held circular saws and trestles. Both approaches are hazardous, require considerable floor space and can be slow, inaccurate, and messy.

Vertical panel saws, or wall saws, offer a more ideal solution but typically require permanent installation, making them less suitable for smaller workshops and also tradesmen working from site to site. Price can also be a limiting factor.

Zapkut's vertical cutting platforms are the answer: the ZK portable range of vertical panel saw systems, and the ZM workshop range, the world's most economically priced moving-column vertical cutting platforms.

ZK and ZM systems are ideal for cutting timber, plastics, non-ferrous metals and composite materials. Light, yet compact and rigid, they are easy to set up and use. A range of options is available. Prices are eye-catching, too, starting at £945.
