Robland FZ3100 sliding table panelsaw

Robland · Joinery 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.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery and shopfitting workshops cutting full sheets of MDF, melamine, or plywood as part of a regular production workflow
  • Cabinet makers who need clean, splinter-free cuts from a scoring blade without additional finishing passes
  • Small to mid-sized workshops stepping up from a contractor-style saw to a dedicated sliding table machine with a proper rip fence and format capacity

Key specification considerations

Sliding Table Length
3100 mm
Long enough to fully support a standard 2440mm sheet throughout the cut — shorter tables require the sheet to overhang, which affects accuracy and safety.
Max Cutting Depth (90°)
100 mm
Rip Capacity
1250 mm
Sufficient to rip a full 2440mm sheet roughly in half in a single pass; adequate for most cabinet and panel work.
Main Motor Power
4.4 kW / 6.6 hp (3-phase)
Requires a 3-phase supply (230 V or 400 V 3-phase); confirm available supply with your electrician before ordering.

Sliding Table Length
3100 mm
Long enough to fully support a standard 2440mm sheet throughout the cut — shorter tables require the sheet to overhang, which affects accuracy and safety.
Main Blade Diameter
315 mm
Max Cutting Depth at 90°
100 mm
Max Cutting Depth at 45°
80 mm
Blade Tilt Range
0–45°
Main Motor Power
4.4 kW / 6.6 hp (3-phase)
Requires a 3-phase supply (230 V or 400 V 3-phase); confirm available supply with your electrician before ordering.
Main Blade Speed
3000 / 4000 / 5000 RPM
Multiple speeds allow the blade to be matched to different materials — slower speeds generally suit harder or denser materials, higher speeds suit sheet goods and laminates.
Scoring Blade Diameter
100 mm (110 mm max)
Scoring Motor
0.75 hp
Scoring Blade Speed
6500 RPM
The scoring blade pre-cuts the underside of the panel, preventing breakout on veneered or melamine-faced boards.
Rip Capacity
1250 mm
Table Dimensions
1530 x 700 mm
Table Height
840 mm
Machine Weight
680–800 kg
At this weight, check your workshop floor loading capacity before installation — concrete floors in older buildings may need assessment.
Overall Footprint
Contact IWM for confirmed dimensions
Allow additional clearance beyond the machine footprint for the full travel of the sliding table and for sheet infeed and outfeed.
Safety & Guarding
CE Compliant
CE compliance confirms the machine meets the minimum safety and guarding standards required for use in the UK and EU.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Robland FZ3100 sliding table panelsaw if...

  • You regularly handle full 2440 x 1220mm sheets and need the table length to support them properly throughout the cut
  • Clean edges on melamine, veneer, or laminate-faced panels matter to you — the scoring blade eliminates the need for secondary cleanup
  • You need format cutting capability (cross-cuts, rips, and mitres in one machine) but don't require CNC or automated positioning
  • You want a straightforward manually-operated panel saw with a known, established manufacturer behind it

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your work is primarily solid timber ripping rather than sheet goods — the Robland NXZ or Robland Z300M Panelsaw may be more appropriate depending on your volume
  • You process very high volumes of panels and would benefit from electronic rip fence positioning or digital readouts — the Casolin Astra SE400 NT with electronic R/F and scoring is worth discussing
  • You need three-axis CNC-assisted panel processing for batch production — the Casolin Astra 500 3-axis panel saw is built for that workflow
  • Your available floor space is limited — the Robland Z500 M or Z300M have a smaller footprint and may suit a tighter shop better; talk to us about what clearance the FZ3100 actually needs installed
