Robland Z400 Panelsaw

Robland
A 3200 mm sliding table panelsaw built for daily sheet processing in joinery and cabinet workshops. Handles full sheets, bevel cuts, and faced boards cleanly — with a scoring unit fitted as standard.

Typically chosen by

  • Cabinet makers and fitted furniture workshops processing MDF, chipboard, and veneered panels as a core part of daily production
  • Joinery shops that need a reliable sliding table saw capable of full sheet crosscuts without a dedicated CNC nesting machine
  • Small to mid-size timber workshops stepping up from a contractor saw and needing a proper scoring unit for clean cuts on faced boards

Key specification considerations

Saw Stroke
3200 mm
Accommodates a full 2440 mm sheet with room to spare — no need to pre-cut boards before bringing them to the saw.
Max Cutting Depth (90°)
125 mm
Rip Capacity
1380 mm
Sufficient for ripping standard sheet material down the long edge in a single pass.
Main Motor
7 kW (9.5 hp)
Three-phase 400 V supply required — confirm your workshop has a suitable 3-phase connection before ordering.
SpecificationValueNotes
Sliding Table Dimensions
400 x 3200 mm
Main Table Dimensions
1530 x 700 mm
Allow additional clearance around the full table assembly for infeed, outfeed, and operator movement — overall footprint in use will be considerably larger than the machine body alone.
Table Height
840 mm
Saw Stroke
3200 mm
Rip Capacity
1380 mm
Main Blade Diameter
400 x 30 mm (bore)
Main Blade Speed
3000 / 4000 / 5000 RPM
Three speeds allow the blade speed to be matched to the material being cut — important when working across a range of timber, MDF, and laminated sheet products.
Main Motor Power
7 kW (9.5 hp)
Three-phase 400 V supply required — confirm your workshop has a suitable 3-phase connection before ordering.
Blade Tilt
0–45°
Max Cutting Depth at 90°
125 mm
Max Cutting Depth at 45°
90 mm
Scoring Blade Diameter
100 (120) x 20 mm (bore)
The scoring unit pre-cuts the underside of the board before the main blade passes through, preventing breakout on veneered and melamine-faced panels.
Scoring Blade Motor
0.75 hp
Scoring Blade Speed
7000 RPM
Scoring Blade Tilt
0–45°
Scoring blade tilts in tandem with the main blade, maintaining clean face cuts when working at bevel angles.
Scoring Depth
0–4.5 mm
Dust Extraction Port
120 mm
Check your extraction system inlet sizing before installation — an adaptor may be needed if your ducting runs at a different diameter.
Machine Weight
850 kg
At 850 kg, floor loading should be checked before installation — consult your structural engineer if there is any doubt about the slab rating.
Overall Dimensions
Contact IWM for installation drawing
Overall footprint in working configuration — including sliding table extension, outrigger, and operator clearance — will exceed the machine body dimensions significantly; request an installation drawing before planning your floor layout.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Robland Z400 Panelsaw if...

  • Your workshop regularly breaks down full 2440 mm sheets and needs a 3200 mm stroke without stepping up to a larger format machine
  • You are cutting veneered, laminated, or melamine-faced boards and need a scoring unit with adjustable depth and bevel capability as standard
  • You want three selectable blade speeds to cover a range of materials — timber, MDF, and sheet goods — from one machine
  • Your budget and floor space suit a mid-range production sliding saw rather than a larger or more automated format

Consider an alternate model if...

  • You need a longer rip fence travel or heavier daily throughput — the Robland Z500 M or Casolin Astra 500 3-axis may be more appropriate for higher-volume or larger-format work
  • Your workflow involves frequent, precise repetitive cuts with programmable fence positioning — the Casolin Astra SE400 NT with electronic rip fence and scoring is worth considering
  • You are processing predominantly solid timber rather than sheet material and a dedicated sliding table saw is a secondary requirement — the Robland NXZ or Robland FZ3100 may suit a different balance of operations
  • Your workshop volume is lower and a full-format sliding saw is more machine than the work justifies — talk to us about whether a smaller or simpler specification would serve you better
