Board Cutting Questions & Answers
TimBuild offers precision panel saw cutting for melamine boards, plywood, MDF, and chipboard. We cut to your exact dimensions with clean, chip-free edges. We also provide computer-generated cutting lists that optimise the layout across sheets to minimise waste and save you money.
Yes. TimBuild provides professional board edging in-store, applying matching edging tape to cut boards for a clean, sealed finish. Edging protects exposed chipboard from moisture damage and gives your project a professional factory-finished look. This is essential for kitchen cupboards, wardrobes, and any visible furniture.
It’s a software-optimised layout plan that works out the most efficient way to cut all your pieces from the minimum number of boards. You give us your dimensions, and the system calculates the cuts to reduce waste. On a typical kitchen project, this can save an entire board — which translates directly into money saved.
Yes. Our stores cut your boards to your exact measurements using precision panel saws. Melamine requires a specialist saw to avoid chipping. Our equipment produces clean, factory-quality cuts that a handheld circular saw simply cannot match.
TimBuild stores across South Africa offer precision board cutting for DIY kitchen cupboard projects. Take your measurements or download our cutting list template to your nearest TimBuild store, and we’ll cut, edge, and drill your boards ready for assembly. Available at all TimBuild branches.
Yes. TimBuild offers precision pot hinge hole drilling for cupboard doors, ensuring your hinges sit perfectly and your doors align correctly. This is a specialist service that most hardware stores don’t offer. It saves you time, eliminates guesswork, and produces a far more professional result than drilling by hand.
Our panel saws cut to millimetre accuracy. For cupboard and cabinetry projects where precision matters, this is critical as even a 2mm error across multiple panels adds up to doors that don’t close and drawers that don’t fit. Professional cutting is the difference between a project that looks custom-made and one that looks homemade.
Our cutting service is primarily for boards purchased in-store. This ensures we can guarantee the quality and dimensions of the material being cut. Visit your nearest TimBuild store to browse our full range of melamine boards, plywood, MDF, and chipboard before placing your cutting order.
