SECTOR 1257
A vertical precision panel saw combining powerful performance with ergonomic design for one-man operation. Features a 5.5 kW motor with optional 9 kW speed-regulated alternative and 303 mm saw blade diameter.
The SECTOR 1257 is a vertical panel saw engineered for single-operator cutting of sheet materials and large panels with industrial-grade precision. Operating as a primary dimensioning tool in the workflow, it transitions raw panels from storage directly to accurately cut components ready for downstream processing, eliminating the need for dedicated personnel and reducing material handling steps. The machine delivers consistent performance through either a 5.5 kW standard motor or an optional 9 kW speed-regulated drive, paired with a 303 mm saw blade capable of depths up to 80 mm. Precision adjustment to 0.1 mm tolerances and a 10-inch control display enable operators to program and execute repeatable cuts with minimal setup variation. The modular frame design accommodates cutting lengths from 4,300 mm to 6,300 mm (with 8,300 mm available on special order), while a 2,200 mm cutting height provides capacity for full-size panel formats—critical for minimizing waste in high-value substrates. The SECTOR 1257 suits medium-sized woodworking operations and job shops processing composite panels, solid wood laminates, and engineered boards where precision cross-cutting and ripping are production bottlenecks. It is particularly valuable in cabinet production, furniture component manufacturing, and architectural millwork environments where one-man operation reduces labor costs while maintaining tight dimensional accuracy. Its vertical geometry and configurable frame lengths make it adaptable to facility footprints ranging from constrained workshop spaces to integrated production lines. Compared to horizontal band saws and manual table saws in its category, the SECTOR 1257 combines the speed of sliding table saws with the ergonomic advantages of vertical feed, reducing operator fatigue on repetitive cuts while delivering superior edge quality typical of Weinig precision machinery. The depth capacity and adjustable motor options position it as an intermediate solution between entry-level panel saws and fully automated crosscut systems.
