Accurate panel cutting on industrial panel saws is where factory quality is won or lost. Soon, you can master it here.
The Panel Cutting & Processing Operator Course will be GDX Academy's second flagship program — a structured, hands-on training built around one of the most important and most under-taught machines in African furniture manufacturing.
From squaring cuts to production-grade panel breakdown.
Panel cutting is where most factory quality is won or lost. A millimetre of error at the saw becomes a visible defect on the finished product — and unlike edge banding or CNC work, you cannot machine away a bad rip.
The course will cover sliding table saw set-up, blade and scorer selection, reading cutting lists, cutlist optimisation for material yield, and production-rate breakdown — on the Nanxing MJ1132F and WOODMETAL WS 110 industrial sliding table saws. Built for operators who want to stop being "the person who runs the saw" and start being "the operator the factory can't replace."
Built for the people who actually run the saw.
- Panel factory operators
- Cut-and-Edge centre staff
- Workshop owners bringing panel breakdown in-house
- Aspiring operators wanting a specialist skill in short supply
