Robland is a Belgian manufacturer producing panel saws and combination woodworking machines built for the professional joinery and timber trade, with a reputation for solid construction and reliable performance in daily production use. Their FZ and Z series panel saws cover a range of table sizes and capacities suited to workshops cutting everything from small sections to full sheet materials. We have worked with Robland for many years because their machines are straightforward to specify, operate, and maintain — qualities that matter considerably to a working British workshop.

A full-format sliding table panelsaw for workshops that regularly process sheet material and need clean, accurate results without a CNC price tag. Built in Belgium by Robland, specified and supported through IWM.
- Chosen By List:
- List Item:
Joinery shops and fitted furniture manufacturers needing clean, chip-free cuts on veneered or melamine-faced panels
- List Item:
Small to mid-size production workshops where a 3200mm sliding table covers the full range of sheet sizes without a second machine
- List Item:
Businesses upgrading from a contractor-grade saw who need a dedicated, floor-standing panel saw with proper guarding and extraction
- This Product List:
- List Item:
You regularly process full-size sheets (up to 3050mm) and need the sliding table length to match without awkward repositioning
- List Item:
Clean, chip-free cuts on veneered or melamine-faced boards are critical — the independent scoring motor is the key feature here
- List Item:
You want three selectable blade speeds to cover both solid timber and sheet material on the same machine
- List Item:
Your workshop is at a production level where a dedicated, floor-standing panel saw with proper guarding and extraction is justified
- Alternate List:
- List Item:
You need electronic fence positioning and digital readout for high-repeatability production — the Casolin Astra SE400 NT with electronic rip fence and scoring is worth discussing instead
- List Item:
Your volume demands a heavier-duty machine with a larger blade diameter — the Robland Z500M or Casolin Astra 500 would be more appropriate at that level
- List Item:
Your workshop space is limited and a 3200mm sliding table is impractical to operate safely — the Robland FZ3100 offers a shorter table format and may suit a tighter floor plan
- List Item:
You are cutting lighter volumes and a more compact or entry-level sliding saw would be sufficient — talk to us and we can advise on whether the FZ400M is over-specified for your situation
- Key Specifications:

- List Item:
You need a scoring unit as standard — the NXZ's independent scoring motor gives clean, chip-free cuts on veneered and laminated panels without a separate setup
- List Item:
Your work regularly involves both ripping and cross-cutting full sheets and you want a machine that handles both accurately without compromise
- List Item:
You want selectable blade speeds so the saw can be set appropriately for different materials across a typical mixed workshop day
- List Item:
You are working within a modest floor budget and need a capable, straightforwardly specified panel saw without the complexity of electronic positioning systems

- List Item:
Your production volume is high and throughput speed is critical — the Casolin Astra 500 or Casolin Astra SE400 NT with electronic rip fence and scoring would offer faster, repeatable positioning for production environments
- List Item:
You need a larger rip capacity or longer sliding table than the NXZ provides — the Robland FZ3100 or Robland Z500 M may be more appropriate depending on your sheet sizes
- List Item:
Your budget is tighter and your cutting requirements are lighter — the Robland Z300M is worth discussing if full-sheet capacity is not a daily requirement
