SDL End‑Scribing Machine
Tear‑free, perfectly aligned glazing‑bar ends—ready for flawless SDL assembly.
Why Choose the Copenstick SDL End‑Scribing Machine?
One machine, multiple gains:
Tear‑Free Finish – Twin 12,000 rpm spindles rotate in opposite directions, eliminating grain breakout.
No Tool‑Change Downtime – Stack multiple scribe cutters on each shaft; select via digital read‑out.
Angles from 0–45 ° – Adjustable table lets you cope intersecting bars without resetting fences.
Single‑Phase, Small Footprint – Plugs into a 240 V 16 A socket and occupies less than half a square metre.
Ideal for: simulated‑divided‑light (SDL) bars • sash & casement glazing bars • heritage timber joinery shops
How it works
Clamp & Align – Manual clamp secures the profiled bar; digital position indicator ensures repeatability.
Dual‑Spindle Cut – Counter‑rotating cutters create a perfect end‑scribe/tenon in one pass.
Angle or Straight – Slide the table to any preset between 0 ° and 45 ° for intersecting joints.
Ready for Assembly – Tear‑free face means zero sanding before half‑lap or under‑pinned build.
