First Cut (Pty) Ltd, with more than sixty years of industry experience, is one of South Africa’s leading distributors of capital equipment. The company’s solid reputation rests on its close ties with international suppliers of cutting products and consumables. First Cut’s highly specialised product range provides quality consumable and capital equipment solutions for many industries, including steel, timber, meat, foam, textiles and the DIY trade.

First Cut employs 240 people, with a head office in Johannesburg, an SABS-ISO 9001: 2008 manufacturing facility in Cape Town, and offices and stocking facilities in Durban, Port Elizabeth and Nelspruit. The company is focused on determining specific customer needs and devising solutions that provide increased productivity and bottom line, accompanied by decreased downtime through a factory trained service team and a large stock holding of imported spares.

In keeping with its commitment to supplying local industry with products of global standard, First cut is the sole agent for the Taiwan-based Everising Machine Company. First Cut introduced Everising’s comprehensive range of bandsaw machines because of its offering of maximum productivity at minimum cost. Distributed in South Africa by First Cut these machines follow the Everising formula of cost-effective cutting efficiency.

A specialist in medium to large band saws since 1982, Everising derives its technological innovation from customer requests. “This is very much in line with the First Cut philosophy of finding niche solutions to customer application requirements in order to provide long-term sustainability and productivity, while at the same time reducing maintenance and downtime,” says First Cut Director Steve Van Wyk.

“Everising bandsaw and circular sawing machines are ISO accredited, and are among the finest in the world, renowned for their extraordinary rigidity and accuracy, while exhibiting the most advanced cutting tool technology,” says Van Wyk.

The E530 high speed metal cutting bandsaw machine is a high capacity machine and is geared up for efficiency. It not only has a wide ranging capacity; but its high-speed cutting capabilities are guaranteed to improve productivity and output levels even on tough materials. This machine has been successfully installed at one of First Cut most valued customers and with the new technology carbide bandsaw blades it is achieving a cut of 17 minutes for a diameter of 508mm. In the range a E830, E430 and E330 are also available.

The P-series CNC machines are equipped with some outstanding features, such as automatic loading tables which support a large number of work pieces. This allows for automatic feeding of bar stock during cutting operations, resulting in continuous output.

The P-series also has a user friendly touch screen, with very clear graphics. All the cutting parameters are represented on the touch screen controller. This includes a self-diagnostic function for on-screen troubleshooting, so that problems can be detected and resolved immediately. Recently installing the new and improved P100 at one of First Cut’s customers who required minimum wastage and a faster cutting time this was achieved by adding a third vise which achieved a 15mm remnant piece and an indexing capability of 1000mm.

The P-Series range starts at 50mm including 75mm, 100mm, 150mm and 180mm and the evolved and uniquely adapted P-230B can cut up to an impressive 230mm in diameter. In addition to reliability and affordability, the Everising P-230B Series CNC cutting machine brings a new level of speed and accuracy to the user. There are P-Series machines for steel as well as the PAL Series machine for cutting aluminum.
