Extremely well-suited for multi-shift production in a broad variety of woodworking manufacturing environments.
Designed for continuous production in cabinet manufacturing, furniture plants, mobile home factories, and more, the Castle USA TSM-30 Series Pocket Cutters are available in three different voltage options: 220V Single Phase, 230V Three Phase, and 460V Three Phase. Each cuts the patented, six-degree, Castle low-angle pocket. TSM-30s are extremely well-suited for multi-shift production in a broad variety of woodworking manufacturing environments.
Heavy duty induction motors drive the pocket cutting spindles: the TSM-31 uses a 220V, single phase induction motor and the TSM-35 models use three phase induction motors in either 230V or 460V. All models use a high-torque, heavy-duty air motor – specifically designed for Castle – to drive the pilot bit. Both operations – pocket cutting and pilot hole drilling – are completed in a single cycle.
TSM-30 series feature heavy duty construction throughout, with easy, top-down access for quick tooling changes. Adjustable indexing stops are built into the top for quick part transitions during high production shifts. These premier woodworking shop tools can produce more than a quarter million pockets per month for years on end with minimal maintenance.

Full line CNC router and storage system double production and decrease lead times.
Case Study, Corporate, Machinery Solutions, Service and SupportCuisi-n-art, of Gatineau, Quebec, with an eye to the future, undertook a large construction project to double the size of their manufacturing facility and increase their production capacity. The centrepiece of their manufacturing plant expansion was implementing two Anderson Stratos Pro Full-Line CNC Routers and Schelling material storage system.
CNC Series: Vacuum, when design and efficiency mean everything.
Machinery SolutionsWhen it comes to vacuum, hold down a bigger pump is not necessarily the answer. More important is the design of the vacuum table and how efficient it is at holding small parts during machining operations.
CNC Series: Weight, where bigger is better.
