Casolin Astra SE400 NT with electronic R/F and scoring

Casolin · Joinery Workshop
A solidly built Italian panel saw with a 3200 mm sliding table, independent scoring unit, and electronic rip fence — suited to cabinet makers and joinery shops that need chip-free, repeatable cuts on sheet material day in, day out.

Typically chosen by

  • Cabinet makers and fitted furniture workshops that need clean, splinter-free cuts on veneered board and melamine as a matter of course
  • Joinery shops processing full sheets regularly and wanting the accuracy of electronic fence positioning without manual re-setting between batches
  • Small to mid-sized production workshops that need a reliable, well-built saw but are not yet at volumes that would justify a beam saw or automated panel cell

Key specification considerations

Sliding Table Length
3200 mm
Handles a full 2440 mm sheet with room to spare — relevant if you regularly rip standard sheet goods without trimming first.
Main Blade Diameter
400 mm
Max Cutting Depth
133 mm
Sufficient for most panel and solid-timber joinery work; if you regularly cut thick glulam or deep section material, discuss your requirements with us.
Blade Tilt
0–45°

SpecificationValueNotes
Sliding Table Length
3200 mm
Heavy-duty aluminium construction — worth confirming floor space including full rearward extension of the table before installation.
Main Blade Diameter
400 mm
Max Cutting Depth
133 mm
Main Motor Power
5.5 kW (7.5 hp)
This machine requires a three-phase supply — verify your workshop electrical capacity before ordering.
Scoring Blade Diameter
120 mm
Scoring Motor
0.75 kW (1 hp)
A dedicated scoring motor runs independently of the main blade, meaning scoring speed and depth can be set correctly without compromise to main blade performance.
Blade Tilt
0–45°
Rip Fence
Electronic with digital control
Digital positioning removes manual measurement and reduces setting time between cuts — particularly useful where you run repeated panel sizes across a batch.
Control Panel
Overhead
Saw Unit
Tilting
Main Table
Cast iron
Cast iron provides better vibration damping and a flatter reference surface than fabricated steel — relevant to cut quality over long production days.
Frame Construction
Solid frame
Motor Configuration
Separate motors for main and scoring blades
Certification
CE compliant with safety guarding
Machine Weight
900 kg
At 900 kg, floor loading should be checked prior to installation — consult your structural engineer or building surveyor if in any doubt.
Overall Dimensions
Approx. 3330 mm (L) × 2700 mm (W) × 1450 mm (H)
Allow additional clearance beyond the sliding table extension for operator movement and outfeed support; confirm exact footprint with us before installation.
Extraction Connection
120 mm diameter
Check your existing extraction ducting matches this port size before installation — a reducer or adaptor may be needed.
Noise Level
Consult IWM
A verified noise figure for this configuration is not published by the manufacturer — talk to us and we can advise whether acoustic treatment or a formal hearing protection policy is likely to be required in your workshop.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Casolin Astra SE400 NT with electronic R/F and scoring if...

  • You're processing full sheets of veneered board, MFC, or melamine daily and chip-free cuts are non-negotiable — the independent scoring unit earns its place in that workflow
  • You want the accuracy of electronic fence positioning and the time saving that brings to batch work, without stepping up to a full CNC or beam saw
  • Your workshop handles a mix of panel sizing and angled cuts and needs a single saw that covers both reliably
  • You want cast-iron table stability and a solidly built machine that will hold its accuracy over years of use in a production environment

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your cutting volumes are lower or your sheets are smaller — the Robland Z300M or Robland FZ3100 may be better scaled to your throughput and floor space
  • You need a larger blade diameter or greater cutting depth for thick solid timber or engineered beams — discuss whether the Casolin Astra 500 or Robland Z500 M is more appropriate
  • You work predominantly with solid timber rather than sheet material, where a scoring unit adds less value and a simpler configuration may suit better — consider the Robland NXZ
  • Budget is the primary constraint and electronic fence positioning is not essential to your workflow — a manual fence machine from the Robland range may be worth discussing with us
