Dominion CP-16M panelsaw

Dominion · Joinery Workshop
A straightforward, cast-iron sliding table panelsaw built for day-to-day sheet and timber processing. Accurate rip and cross-cuts, independent scoring as standard, and no unnecessary complexity.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery shops processing sheet goods and solid timber who need consistent, accurate rip and cross-cuts day to day
  • Small to mid-size workshops where a 2600 mm sliding table covers the majority of panel sizes they work with
  • Businesses replacing an ageing panelsaw and looking for a straightforward cast-iron machine with separate scoring — without over-specifying
Before you commit

See it run on your own material

Bring us a sample profile or board and we'll run it through the machine at our Newark showroom. You'll see the output quality firsthand and we can talk through how it fits your workflow - before any decisions are made.

Key specification considerations

Sliding Table Length
2600 mm
Sufficient for processing full 2440 mm sheet materials with room to support the workpiece, though larger format panels may require outfeed support.
Max Cutting Depth (90°)
125 mm
Adequate for most sheet goods and solid timber sections typically found in joinery production; double-stacking thicker sheet materials is not advised.
Rip Capacity
1250 mm
Main Motor Power
7.5 hp
Confirm the phase and amperage requirements with IWM before ordering to ensure your electrical supply is compatible.

Sliding Table Length
2600 mm

Main Saw Blade Diameter
400 mm
Max Cutting Depth at 90°
125 mm
Adequate for most sheet goods and solid timber sections typically found in joinery production; double-stacking thicker sheet materials is not advised.
Max Cutting Depth at 45°
90 mm
Blade Tilt Range
0–45°
Main Motor Power
7.5 hp
Confirm the phase and amperage requirements with IWM before ordering to ensure your electrical supply is compatible.
Scoring Blade Diameter
120 mm
Scoring Motor Power
0.75 hp
Separate motors for main and scoring blades means the scoring unit can be set and run independently, which is important for clean chip-free cuts on veneered or laminated boards.
Table Dimensions
900 x 1500 mm
Table Height
850 mm
Rip Capacity
1250 mm
Dust Extraction Outlet
120 mm
Confirm this matches your existing extraction ducting; a reducer or adaptor may be needed if your system runs a different spigot size.
Construction
Heavy-duty cast iron
Speak to IWM about confirmed machine weight before installation if there is any doubt about your floor slab rating.
Certification
CE Certified
Meets the essential health and safety requirements for machinery placed on the UK/EU market.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Dominion CP-16M panelsaw if...

  • You need a solid, cast-iron sliding table panelsaw for day-to-day sheet and timber processing and do not require CNC or electronic fence positioning
  • Your typical panel sizes fall within a 2600 mm sliding table and a 1250 mm rip capacity — this machine covers the vast majority of joinery workshop work
  • You want independent scoring as standard without moving to a significantly larger or more complex machine
  • Budget and simplicity of operation are priorities and your volume does not justify a more automated format saw

Consider an alternate model if...

  • You regularly process panels beyond 2600 mm or need a longer sliding table — the Robland FZ3100 or Casolin Astra 500 3-axis offer greater capacity
  • Your workflow would benefit from electronic rip fence positioning and digital readout — the Casolin Astra SE400 NT with electronic R/F and scoring is worth discussing
  • You need a 3-axis or automated beam-saw style operation for higher-volume optimised cutting — the Casolin Astra 500 3-axis is the more appropriate specification
  • You are weighing up a mid-range alternative with a comparable footprint — the Robland NXZ or Robland Z500 M may be worth comparing directly with the CP-16M
