  • Copenstick UNI woodworking spindle moulder machine with blue cabinet, motor, feed rollers and spindle speed control panel

Copenstick UNI

Copenstick · Timber Window & Door
One machine that handles glazing bead profiling, general spindle moulding, tenoning, and notching or dovetailing — without dedicating floor space to several single-purpose tools. A practical choice for joinery and window shops where the work mix is varied and retooling time adds up.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery shops producing a variety of window and door components who need one machine to handle several operations without retooling delays
  • Workshops where floor space rules out running a dedicated spindle moulder alongside a separate glazing bead machine
  • Businesses regularly cutting notches or dovetails who want a controlled, repeatable process rather than a manual or ad-hoc setup

Key specification considerations

Spindle Type
HSK32 Quick-change high speed spindle motor
HSK32 tooling changes without resetting from scratch, which reduces downtime when switching between profiles or operations.
Spindle Tilt
0° – 90°
The full 90° tilt range is what allows the machine to switch between vertical moulding and horizontal notching or dovetailing without a separate machine.
Pneumatic Z-Axis Lift
100mm vertical travel, foot-controlled
Foot-operated lift keeps both hands on the workpiece during the cut, which matters for safety and repeatability on short or awkward components.
Fence Turret Stops
Two 4-position turret stops (front and rear of fence)
Pre-set fence positions let you return to a specific tooling and fence combination for repeat runs without re-measuring each time.

Speed Control
Variable frequency drive
Tenon Carriage
Yes — fitted as standard
Allows the machine to be used as a conventional spindle moulder with tenon carriage, expanding its use beyond glazing bead work.
Power Feed Unit
Optional fitment
Adding a power feed improves consistency of feed rate and reduces operator fatigue on longer production runs.
Workpiece Clamping
Manual clamping device on main fence
Secures the workpiece before notching or dovetailing cuts, where the material cannot be guided by hand in the conventional way.
Motor Power
2.2 kW
Electrical Supply
240V, 16A, Single Phase, 50Hz
Single-phase supply means no three-phase installation is required; confirm a 16A spur is available before specifying.
Spindle Speed
12,000 – 24,000 RPM
Variable frequency drive allows speed to be dialled to suit the cutter diameter and material being worked.
Working Height of Table
950mm
Machine Dimensions (W × D × H)
600 × 840 × 1,235mm
Allow additional clearance around all sides for workpiece feed, operator movement, and extraction ducting.
Machine Weight
Approx. 140 kg
Extraction Connection
1 × 80mm and 1 × 120mm ports
Two ports serve different guard positions; confirm your extraction unit can accommodate both connection sizes or supply an appropriate reducer.
Pneumatic Supply
6 bar
A regulated shop-air supply at 6 bar is required to drive the pneumatic Z-axis cylinder; confirm your compressor can sustain this pressure under load.
Tool Holding
ER25 Collets
Height Adjustment of Spindle Shaft
125mm
Position Indicator
Digital (0.8mm per revolution)
The digital readout lets you set and return to precise height positions without manual gauging.
Position Accuracy
0.1mm

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Copenstick UNI if...

  • You need one machine to handle glazing bead profiling, general spindle moulding, tenoning, and notching or dovetailing — and want to avoid running several dedicated machines
  • Quick tooling changes between different profiles or operations are a priority, and HSK32 toolholders are already in use or under consideration in your workshop
  • You work with components that require angled profiles, where the 0–90° spindle tilt gives you cuts that a fixed-spindle machine simply cannot make
  • Your production mix is varied enough that pre-settable fence positions and repeat stop locations will save meaningful time across a working week

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your work is primarily straight glazing bead profiling at volume — the Copenstick STP or Copenstick TDL may be better suited to a higher-throughput, single-purpose role
  • You need pin-router capability as your main requirement — the Copenstick PIN is the more appropriate machine for that work
  • Your primary need is end-profile scribing on glazing beads rather than full-length profiling — the HEP Glazing Bead End Profile Scribing Machine or Dan-List PME 100 Endscribe Machine are designed specifically for that operation
  • Budget is a primary constraint and the multi-function capability of the UNI is more than your current workload justifies — talk to us about which single-function machine in the Copenstick range would be a better fit
