A PERFECT PAIR
K & D Joinery is a family company which was formed in 1984; in a
very short time they had established themselves in London with a
reputation for the manufacture of high quality timber windows,
doors, stairs and specialist joinery. A progression of expansion
since then has seen two moves to satisfy the increasing demand and
now they are in a modern 30,000 sq ft factory close to Dagenham,
London.
To
help meet the increased demand for replacement windows in
historically important buildings K and D joinery director, Mr Jeremy
Murphy, approached John Penny Woodworking Machinery Ltd to find a
solution for glazing bar production.
Following these discussions K and D Joinery have now invested in a
pair of Stegherr glazing bar jointing machines to streamline bar
production.
The KSF 2 closed halving joint machine will produce perfect cross
halving joints in profiled applied bars as well as fully rebated
glazing bars. The whole joint is produced in one automatic working
cycle on each bar, with a simple button selection to change between
the two parts of the joint.
The KSF2 supplied to K and D joinery was preset by the engineers at
the Stegherr factory to accommodate two different full glazing bar
profiles and one applied bar profile to allow changeover without any
tool repositioning or setting.
The distance between joints is set using an electronic digital
readout on the stop bar allowing extremely accurate production of
complete astragals.
The second machine in the Stegherr pairing is the KF Mini end
scribing machine.
This machine will scribe the ends of the bars to match the inside
profile of the sash or frame. The scribe can be cut on profiled bars
without any breakout on the moulded face due to the use of two
counter rotating high speed tools. The design of the tool mounting
allows quick tool setting when changing the profile of the scribe.
The KF Mini supplied to K and D Joinery is fitted with the optional
trim saw which will cut the bar to the correct length prior to
producing the scribe.
With this perfect pair of Stegherr machines supplied by the UK agent
John Penny Woodworking Machinery Ltd, K and D Joinery will now be
producing top quality glazing bar components for all their doors and
windows.
