The W Exhibition is just around the corner and will be happening at the NEC for four days from 30 September to 3 October. Now under the wing of events company Angus Montgomery, the event has been running in one guise or another for over 40 years. Taking place every two years, the W Exhibition offers the UK’s furniture and joinery manufacturers the chance to meet and network with other industry players and see what’s new on the market.

New Axminster Trade machines

Once again, Axminster will be exhibiting, using the event as a platform to showcase the recently upgraded trade rated range of woodworking machinery. As a result, five new machines have joined the Axminster Trade range: a bandsaw, table saw, two spindle moulders and a dust processor. These machines are aimed at bespoke furniture and joinery makers, small scale kitchen/bathroom producers and keen home woodworkers wanting a higher spec machine.

Bandsaw and Dust Processor in use

The five new machines were chosen for their uniqueness or build quality. The Gyro dust processor is compact and needs no assembly. It is built with ground-breaking axial centrifugation technology. The new bandsaw is designed to be one of the best 350mm bandsaws on the market with many exclusive features. The table saw will take some of Axminster’s unique accessories such as parts from the UJK Technology range. There are two spindle moulders: deluxe and CNC. The CNC has a Siemens control system, allowing you to mould profiles with optimum accuracy and achieve perfect results. The deluxe comes as a 230V and 415V version.

In addition, visitors will be able to watch Lamello jointing in action, and learn about the original and inventive range of UJK Technology products.


Elements of Innovation

This is an important show for us where we will be exhibiting our new and exciting high-end woodworking machinery. We have also entered a product into the Elements of Innovation awards running at the W Exhibition. The criteria stated that the product must have come to market since W Exhibition 2016. Also, the product should be brand new, standout and innovative. For us there was only one contender: the UJK Parf Super Dog which we launched earlier this year. Wish us luck!
