Sussex kitchen manufacturer Rhinocraft has bought new machinery to meet increasing demand for traditional look in-frame or face-frame kitchen fascias.
The company, which makes bespoke kitchens at its Partridge Green workshops, invested £3,000 in a system for cutting and jointing frame components.
The system comprises the Morso haunching guillotine and a bench-mounted Hoffmann MU2 manually-operated dovetail keyhole slot routing machine. The Morso cuts out all rail and stile haunch apertures in different sized frame designs and the Hoffman routs the keyhole slots for the insertion of serrated dovetail keys which join the components.
No drilling, doweling, screw fixing or further downstream clamping or setting is required.
Rhinocraft managing director Simon Johnson said the system saved up to 70% time and a significant amount of labour.
