The Lignum window tooling & door tooling system prioritizes precision and efficiency for machinists. Manufactured and tested to the rigorous international standards of BS EN 847, this door tooling & window tooling set can guarantee safe, consistent, and high-quality cuts.

This translates to less rework and frustration for the machinist. Additionally, Lignum tooling incorporates built-in chip breakers, actively preventing chip buildup and potential tool damage or friction. The aerodynamic design further enhances efficiency by minimizing drag and promoting smooth chip removal.

This lightweight design not only reduces machine and motor wear but also allows for faster toolpath execution, saving the machinist valuable time.

In essence, Lignum empowers machinists with precision, reliability, and speed without sacrificing on safety or finish quality.

The Lignum door tooling & window tooling system sets itself apart through its efficiency, ease of use and fast profile knife changes. Designed to combat the growing skills gap, the Lignum system utilizes Leitz Zero Set tooling, allowing for quick and easy tool changes. Minimising downtime between production runs for different window or door profiles.

Leitz Marathon coated knives boast a 30% longer lifespan compared to standard tooling. This translates to fewer tool replacements, lower costs and  reduced disruptions to production schedules.

Enjoy bespoke manufacturing with fast profile changes without additional tooling, simply use our quick knife change system to replace profile knives.

The Lignum door & window tooling system, co-developed by Leitz and The Joinery Network, empowers manufacturers to compete effectively in both new build and conservation projects. This versatility stems from several key advantages that manufacturers will inherit from the tooling system.

Thanks to our rigorous testing process, all Lignum products are tested for the current building regulations L, M, Q and Weathertightness. This means all Lignum products are suitable for new build and conservation work; allowing manufacturers to expand into new markets, growing their business.

Lignum window tooling & door tooling machines timber to a very high standard of finish quality, increasing your productivity and reducing cycle times by eliminating or reducing the need for sanding and rectifications.

This also helps with the de-nibbing process and allows for an easier paint applying process.

“Firstly, the finish quality of the window tooling system has dramatically reduced our need to sand down or re work a project, meaning we can get straight to assembly and decorations like painting and the de-nibbing process has gotten shorter too.”

Window Tooling & Door Tooling For Spindle Moulders:

Our Lignum window tooling & door tooling sets are most commonly used on spindle moulders by joinery companies.

All Lignum blocks have the same 5mm height from the table and a constant block height. This enables a zero set up time as the finger fence and table do not need to be adjusted between tool changes; only the diameter of the tenoning and profiling blocks is different.

Window Tooling & Door Tooling For CNC Machinery:

The Joinery Network & Leitz have developed and tested a lightweight and smaller Lignum solution for CNC machining centres that replaces the tenoning blocks with counter profile blocks for a smoother joint.

Our CNC Lignum window tooling & CNC door tooling allows for the creation of complex designs and intricate details that would be difficult to achieve with a spindle moulder.

Window Tooling & Door Tooling For Window Line Machinery:

Working in tandem with machinery manufacturers, Leitz has also developed a Lignum window toioling solution for window line machines.

Experience seamless integration with your window line machine. Leitz Lignum tooling is specifically designed for optimal performance within these systems, maximizing production speed and minimizing downtime for fast, efficient window and door manufacturing.

Whether it’s Secured by Design and PAS 24 certification, advice on improving efficiency, a quality hardware supplier, finance for window tooling and door tooling or help on how to sell more products, The Joinery Network puts you directly in contact with practical people who have the know-how and tools to move your business forward.

Supported by a massive range of partner and affiliate companies, The Joinery Network has contacts for all your joinery needs. We can support you as you grow your business with a full suite of joinery services that go above and beyond a simple window tooling or door tooling supplier.

The Network also hosts many events throughout the year for everyone in the industry to attend, network and lean new skills at our upcoming events.

The Joinery Network and Leitz Tooling test every product made with our window tooling or door tooling to all current building regulations and they are also accredited by secured by design. You can sell timber windows and doors without worrying about planning offices or surveyors. All products manufactured with our window tooling or door tooling inherit the certifications, saving you thousands a year per product in testing.

You can rest easy knowing that The Joinery Network has your back; your joinery will always meet the building requirements and most importantly your customer’s needs.

As the Lignum brand grows, more and more architects, planners and end users will be looking for you to match the quality and reputation of Lignum products

Beyond the impressive range of products, specialised window and door tooling and supporting services, The Joinery Network also providers community to joiners across the United Kingdom. In addition to our in-house events that are hosted throughout the year, the network also hosts a digital seminair followed by a group discussion weekly every Friday called The Joinery Hour that is available on Remo.

Members of the network such as JF Joinery or Nine-Zero also share their workload with each other:

“As the products are tested, we can compete for larger contracts by sharing the workload between lignum manufacturers from the network. This is a win-win as we can give each other work”
