Casolin Astra 500 CNC Panel Saw

Industrial CNC Sliding Table Panel Saw – Made in Italy

Tuckwell Machinery supplies and supports the Casolin Astra 500 CNC Panel Saw, an advanced CNC panel saw designed for high-accuracy, high-production woodworking environments. Built in Italy and engineered for industrial use, the Astra 500 range combines the precision of a traditional sliding table panel saw with the efficiency and repeatability of CNC-controlled positioning.

Unlike entry-level machines, the Casolin panel saw range offers true CNC functionality across multiple axes, enabling automatic positioning of the saw blade, scoring unit and parallel fence. This allows operators to achieve faster setup times, repeatable accuracy and consistent cut quality — even during long production runs or multi-shift operation.

Available in multiple CNC configurations, the Astra 500 CNC panel saw machine is suited to cabinet makers, joinery workshops and manufacturers seeking a robust, European-built solution where precision, durability and operator efficiency are critical.

“For workshops looking to step up from a conventional slider, the Casolin Astra 500 delivers true CNC control without sacrificing the robustness of an industrial panel saw.”

Casolin Astra 500 CNC – Industrial CNC Panel Saw with Multi-Axis Control

Precision, power and repeatability define the Casolin Astra 500 CNC panel saw. Built on a heavy-duty steel base filled with reinforced concrete, this CNC panel saw machine is engineered to deliver exceptional rigidity, vibration control and cutting accuracy in demanding production environments. The industrial sliding table runs on precision rollers and linear guides designed specifically for dusty woodworking conditions.

Unlike conventional sliding saws, the Casolin panel saw range offers true CNC-controlled positioning of critical components. Depending on configuration, the Astra 500 provides CNC control of the saw blade height and tilt, scoring unit and parallel fence, ensuring fast setup, automatic correction when tilting and highly repeatable results across long production runs.

Available CNC configurations: 5-axis CNC, 5-axis CNC Posit, 5-axis CNC QCP, and full 6-axis CNC with touch screen control

Sliding table lengths: 2600 / 3200 / 3800 / 4300 / 5000 mm

Main blade diameter: 300–500 mm (optional 550 mm without scoring unit)

Blade speeds: 3,000 / 4,200 / 5,000 RPM (higher range available with inverter option)

Motorised movements: CNC-controlled blade lift, blade tilt and fence positioning (model dependent)

Industrial blade unit: Fully cast iron tilting group from 0° to 45.5° with linear guides and oversized bearings for accuracy and vibration reduction
