Christmas wishes from Wealden

Many thanks to all our customers in the UK, Europe and as far afield as Australia for your continued support in 2010 - we really appreciate that you chose Wealden.

Our sales office is closed from noon on Friday, 24th December until 8am on Tuesday, 4th January, 2011. However, orders placed on the Wealden website throughout this time will be processed before the VAT increase to 20%, which takes place at midnight on Monday, 3rd January.

In 2011 we will be increasing our range of sawblades to include bandsaw and jigsaw blades and adding to our ranges of router cutters, particularly solid spirals, so we look forward to being of service to you again soon.

Have a great Christmas and a very happy and successful New Year from us all at Wealden.

Special Offer on Wealden's Raise-A-Panel Cutters

A common requirement is the production of mock panelling on solid timber or MDF panels for furniture manufacture, an operation usually carried out using a template with a top bearing-guided Classic Ogee cutter. Although effective, this does not resemble a true raised panel.

Wealden's unique system uses two cutters which, with two passes using the same template, will produce an effect that more closely echoes a traditional raised panel.  Designed by and unique to Wealden, two sizes are available, producing either a 30mm or 40mm wide moulding with a moulded groove of 10-12mm.

Until the end of February 2010 the cutters are available at a special 15% discount. Click here to go the website for full details.
