Inside the UK's Biggest Woodworking Exhibition | What We Found at the NEC
This week on Preferred Joinery, Alex and Chris head to the NEC in Birmingham for one of the biggest woodworking exhibitions in the UK, packed with CNC machinery, joinery manufacturing innovation and specialist tooling from brands like Wadkin, SCM and Sedgwick. We take a look around the exhibition halls, speak to suppliers, check out some seriously impressive kit and get a glimpse at where the future of the trade is heading. From automation systems to the latest machining technology, there was plenty to explore and even more to be tempted by. Along the way we get up close with machinery from some of the biggest names in the industry including Wadkin, SCM, Sedgwick, Felder, Altendorf, Martin, Striebig and Leitz, covering everything from panel saws and spindle moulders to edgebanders, wide belt sanders and full CNC machining centres. Back at the workshop it's business as usual as production continues, and a few ideas from the show start making their way onto the factory floor. If you're into woodworking, joinery, machinery or manufacturing, or you simply enjoy seeing how the trade is evolving, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
