BECOMING A CUT
ABOVE THE REST
As a company looking
for a way to speed up the
production of its aluminium
roofs, Preston-based Celtic
Vista chose to enlist the
help of Kombimatec and
its DGS570 Electronic
Compound Double Mitre
saw.
Producing an array
of beautifully crafted
conservatories, sunrooms and
sun porches to a designated time
takes skill and precise planning.
Boasting exceptional product
quality, the Lancashire firm
produces the vast majority of
its components in house. While
it has always ensured that its
conservatories are manufactured
to the highest standards,
acquiring Kombimatec’s
DGS570 has now certainly
made sure of this.
Equipped with 2x 550mm
diameter saw blades, which
travel vertically from below
the machine’s tables, the
DGS570 provides Celtic
Vista with improved cutting
accuracy through automatic
head positioning according
to the length of cut required.
Offering various cuts, the large
capacity cut enables the Ring
Beam, Ridge Beam, and Rafter
profiles to be cut with ease and
in one cutting cycle, while the
extended cut feature also allows
sections that are longer than
the bed length to be cut. Aside
from compound cutting, there’s
also cleat cutting that allows
multiple repeat sizes of profile to

be cut from a bar length using
an automatic cutting cycle.
The machine has an overhead
colour touch screen control
panel, where operators can
configure, backup, and
download cutting lists. It also
features a USB port, which
allows optimised cutting lists to
be transferred to a memory stick
and either saved or downloaded
to the machine’s computer.
Dave Watters, Celtic Vista’s
Managing Director, says, “As it
was a new piece of equipment,
early on there were some
specific requirements that
we needed guidance with. As
soon as we mentioned this
to Kombimatec they sent an
engineer immediately to see
us in Preston. He helped us
understand how to use the
machine to its full advantage in
just a few hours.
“The Kombimatec DGS570
has some great features and is
really good value for money,”
Watters continues. “The
instructions are clear. The cuts
are very accurate. And with the
cleat cutting feature allowing us
to complete jobs in house, this
saves us a great deal of money
not having to send certain jobs
out to a third party.”
