SECTOR 1257
CNC Machining Centers โ Weinig Group
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 formatsโcritical 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.

Applications
architectural millwork jobbing
medium workshopCustom millwork shops handling variable panel orders (wall cladding, interior linings, specialty veneers) benefit from the modular frame and quick setup of the SECTOR 1257. The 80 mm cutting depth and 10-inch touch display support job-shop flexibilityโoperators program different cutting patterns for each order without changeover, and the single-operator design keeps overhead low on small runs.
furniture panel processing
medium workshopFurniture manufacturers processing flat-pack and solid-wood designs rely on the SECTOR 1257 to break down raw panels and laminates into table tops, shelving, and panel components. The vertical layout and 9 kW optional motor maintain feed speed on dense engineered veneers and hardwood composites, while precision adjustment ensures door frames and inlays fit assembly tolerances without re-work.
solid wood preparation
small workshopSmall solid-wood shops and artisan makers use the SECTOR 1257 as a precision crosscut and ripping station for glued-up panels and solid lumber laminates destined for tabletops, counters, and decorative work. The 0.1 mm tolerance and vertical geometry minimize tear-out on show surfaces, and single-operator use fits lean workshop staffing models.
cabinet component cutting
medium workshopCabinet makers use the SECTOR 1257 to rip and crosscut plywood, MDF, and particle board panels into frame and door components with 0.1 mm precision. The 4,300โ6,300 mm cutting length accommodates standard panel widths (1,220 mm ร 2,440 mm and larger), enabling one operator to produce dimensioned parts for multiple cabinets per shift without secondary edge trimming. The 2,200 mm height handles tall panel formats, reducing scrap from edge banding and finishing.
