Robland NXZ panel saw

Robland · Joinery Workshop
A compact sliding table panel saw with independent scoring as standard — suited to joinery and cabinet workshops that need clean, chip-free cuts across a range of sheet materials day in, day out.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery and fit-out shops processing full sheets of MDF, melamine, or ply who need a reliable scoring unit to keep faces clean
  • Small to medium production workshops upgrading from a basic table saw and needing proper sliding table capacity for the first time
  • Cabinet makers and shopfitters who regularly rip and cross-cut sheet goods and want variable blade speed for different materials
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
2500 mm or 3200 mm
The 3200 mm table allows full-length cuts on standard 3050 mm sheets without repositioning; confirm which suits your most common sheet size before ordering.
Max Cutting Depth (90°)
100 mm
Rip Capacity
1250 mm
Sufficient to rip a full 2440 mm sheet down the centre in a single pass, which covers the majority of cabinet and joinery panel work.
Main Blade Speed
3000 / 4000 / 5000 RPM
Three selectable speeds allow the blade to be matched to the material — slower speeds suit solid timber and thicker sections; higher speeds suit fine finishes in sheet goods.
SpecificationValueNotes
Sliding Table Length
2500 mm or 3200 mm (anodised aluminium)
Anodised aluminium construction resists wear and keeps the table running smoothly without regular maintenance.
Main Motor Power
5.5 hp
Requires a 3-phase supply — available for 400 V 3-phase (standard) or 230 V 3-phase; confirm your workshop supply before ordering.
Scoring Motor Power
0.75 hp
Independent Motors
Yes — main and scoring saws independently driven
Independent motors mean the scoring blade speed is not tied to the main blade, allowing each to be optimised for a clean finish on both faces of veneered or laminated panels.
Main Saw Blade Diameter
315 mm
Main Blade Speed
3000 / 4000 / 5000 RPM
Scoring Blade Diameter
100 mm
Scoring Blade Speed
7000 RPM
Max Cutting Depth at 90°
100 mm
Max Cutting Depth at 45°
80 mm
Blade Tilt Range
0–45°
Rip Capacity
1250 mm
Table Height
840 mm
Table Size
1530 x 700 mm
Allow additional floor clearance beyond the table footprint for the full travel of the sliding table — particularly relevant if specifying the 3200 mm version.
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.
Safety
CE compliant safety guards, heavy-duty frame
Machine Weight
Approx. 385–400 kg
Floor loading should be checked with your structural surveyor before installation; verify exact weight for your configured version with IWM at point of order.
Overall Dimensions
Confirm with IWM — varies by sliding table configuration
Overall footprint differs significantly between the 2500 mm and 3200 mm table options; speak to us for room layout planning.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Robland NXZ panel saw if...

  • You need a scoring unit as standard — the NXZ's independent scoring motor gives clean, chip-free cuts on veneered and laminated panels without a separate setup
  • Your work regularly involves both ripping and cross-cutting full sheets and you want a machine that handles both accurately without compromise
  • You want selectable blade speeds so the saw can be set appropriately for different materials across a typical mixed workshop day
  • You are working within a modest floor budget and need a capable, straightforwardly specified panel saw without the complexity of electronic positioning systems

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your production volume is high and throughput speed is critical — the Casolin Astra 500 or Casolin Astra SE400 NT with electronic rip fence and scoring would offer faster, repeatable positioning for production environments
  • You need a larger rip capacity or longer sliding table than the NXZ provides — the Robland FZ3100 or Robland Z500 M may be more appropriate depending on your sheet sizes
  • Your budget is tighter and your cutting requirements are lighter — the Robland Z300M is worth discussing if full-sheet capacity is not a daily requirement
  • You are processing unusually thick solid timber sections regularly and need a higher cutting depth than 100 mm — talk to us about whether a different configuration suits your material better
