CNC crosscut saws bring computer-controlled automation to the crosscutting process, allowing operators to program cut lists, set lengths with precision, and repeat the same cut reliably across a full batch. Where a manual or semi-automatic saw relies on the operator to position each piece, a CNC machine removes that variable and reduces the short-end waste that quietly adds up over a shift.
These machines suit workshops where throughput matters and cut lists are either complex or high in volume — joinery production, timber processing, and frame manufacturing are typical applications. The right specification depends on your timber sizes, the length of your cut lists, and how your material flows through the shop.
If you are considering a CNC crosscut saw and want to talk through what will actually work for your operation, speak to IWM. We have been specifying crosscut solutions for British workshops for over fifty years and will give you a straight answer.
Soukup CNC machining centres are built specifically for timber window and door production. Designed and manufactured in Europe to CE standards, they handle everything from casement and sash frames to bespoke joinery work, holding tight tolerances across a full production run.
Where they earn their place in a workshop is in the reduction of manual handling and setting-up time. A well-specified Soukup centre allows a small team to produce consistent, clean-finished components at a pace that hand or semi-automated methods struggle to match.
If you are weighing up whether CNC is the right step for your window and door operation – or comparing this type of machine against your current process – talk to us. We have been specifying this kind of equipment for joinery workshops for many years and can give you an honest assessment of what will and will not work for your volume and profile range.

A purpose-built machine for scribing the ends of cross-cut glazing bead and profiled timber — producing a clean, tear-free counter-profile in a single manual pass. The right choice for joinery shops that need consistent, repeatable bead ends without rework.
Glazing bead machines are designed to run accurate, consistent beading profiles on timber and similar materials — the kind of clean, repeatable results that matter in window manufacturing and joinery production. Whether you are running a small workshop or a higher-volume operation, getting the profile right first time saves material and keeps your fitting tolerances tight.
The range covers conventional spindle-based beading machines through to CNC-controlled units where programmable cutting patterns allow you to switch between profiles with minimal downtime. The right choice depends on your volumes, the range of sections you need to produce, and how your workflow is set up.
If you are unsure which type suits your production, talk to us. We have been specifying this kind of machinery for timber and joinery workshops for over 50 years and can help you avoid over- or under-specifying for your actual output.
- Chosen By List:

Timber truss manufacturers cutting large batches of components to tight angular tolerances
- List Item:
Offsite timber frame fabricators who need to process pre-cut lists from BTL design software without manual re-entry
- List Item:
Joinery and structural timber operations that have outgrown manual or semi-automatic crosscutting and need consistent accuracy across long production runs
- This Product List:
- List Item:
Your production involves regular angled cuts across a wide range — particularly compound angles for trusses, rafters, or structural frame components
- List Item:
You are running BTL-format cut lists from design software and want to eliminate manual data re-entry at the saw
- List Item:
You need a machine that can operate as both a standalone manual saw and a fully automated cell, depending on the job in hand

- List Item:
Operations already running a Soukup Wizard that want to add a linked drilling stage and share component data across the line
- List Item:
Shops handling a mix of standard and complex components, where a fixed table for long or intricate pieces and moving tables for routine work gives genuine flexibility
- This Product List:
- List Item:
You need a dedicated drilling station for window and door hardware — keeping this work off your main machining centre and freeing it for profiling and tenoning
- List Item:
You are running or planning a Soukup Wizard line and want to add a linked drilling stage that shares the same component data without re-programming
- List Item:
Your production mix includes both long, complex components and routine pieces, and you need a machine that can handle both without reconfiguration
- List Item:

Your workshop assembles timber windows and doors at a consistent volume and you need repeatable squareness and clamping pressure across every frame
- List Item:
You're producing frames up to 4000 × 2600 mm and need a pressing bed large enough to handle your full size range
- List Item:
You want a dedicated hydraulic press rather than adapting a general-purpose cramping or assembly system
- List Item:
You're replacing a manual or band-cramp process and need a more reliable, less operator-dependent assembly method
- Alternate List:
- List Item:
Your volumes are lower or your frame sizes are more variable — the Soukup Assembling Table KS 2400 may offer more flexibility for mixed work without the footprint of a dedicated press
- List Item:
Your work involves curved or segmented profiles rather than standard rectangular frames — the Soukup Segment Press Machine is designed specifically for that application
- List Item:

A single CNC centre that handles the full range of window and door machining — milling, drilling, rebating, mortising, and hardware prep — across straight and arched components alike. Suited to bespoke workshops that need flexibility across component types without building a multi-machine line.
- Chosen By List:
- List Item:
Joinery manufacturers producing high volumes of window and door frames who need a dedicated tenoning station rather than a general-purpose machining centre
- List Item:
Workshops already running Soukup equipment — particularly the Wizard range — who want a complementary machine with shared tooling and operational familiarity
- List Item:
Businesses looking to remove a bottleneck at the tenoning stage by automating what is currently a manual or semi-manual process
- This Product List:
- List Item:
Tenoning is a defined, high-volume stage in your production process and you want a machine built solely for that task rather than a multi-function centre
- List Item:
You need to complete multiple tenon faces in a single pass to maintain throughput — particularly relevant if you are currently running separate operations to achieve the same result
- List Item:
Your workshop produces window and door frames to consistent profiles and you want a dedicated machine that can be set up and repeated reliably shift after shift
- List Item:
You are already familiar with Soukup's Wizard platform and want tooling and operational consistency across your machining line
- Alternate List:
- List Item:
Your production requires full window or door processing — including profiling, morticing, and tenoning — in one machine: the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32&catid=15"><a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=33&catid=15"><a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35&catid=15">Soukup Wizard</a></a> 3S</a> or Wizard 4L may be a better fit depending on your section sizes
- List Item:
You produce a wide variety of joinery components beyond frames and need more flexible CNC toolpath capability: the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=36&catid=15">Soukup Versa CNC Window Machine</a> is worth discussing
- List Item:
Your volumes are lower or your profiles change frequently, where a more flexible machining centre such as the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=31&catid=15">Soukup Crafter</a> would avoid the overhead of a dedicated tenoning station
- List Item:
You need combined tenoning and window machining in a single footprint: speak to us about the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35&catid=15"><a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32&catid=15"><a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=33&catid=15">Soukup Wizard</a></a> Tenon</a>, which may combine both functions
- Key Specifications:
- Specification Name:
Spindle Length, Specification Value:
620 mm, Specification Notes:
The 620 mm spindle length accommodates a substantial tool stack, which is what allows multiple tenon profiles to be completed in a single pass rather than requiring separate operations.
- Specification Name:
Motor Power, Specification Value:
7.5 kW (10 HP), Specification Notes:
Running at 3,000 rpm, this is a three-phase motor — confirm amperage draw with your electrical contractor before installation.
- Specification Name:
Upper Supporting Bearing, Specification Value:
Yes, Specification Notes:
The upper bearing reduces spindle deflection under load, which matters for maintaining tenon accuracy across a full production shift — particularly on harder timbers or wider sections.
- Specification Name:
Max Workpiece Length, Specification Value:
2,900 mm, Specification Notes:
Two horizontal positioning stops cover timbers up to 2,900 mm — sufficient for most standard window and door frame components without repositioning.
