As a high-volume pallet and crate production facility, TopShelf Wood Packaging faced challenges with their previous cutting setup. Their chop saws couldn’t keep up with daily use, often overheating or burning out under heavy workloads.
Their grooving process also depended on handheld routers — a time-consuming and inefficient method that required manual precision and often led to tool breakage. The company needed a more robust, accurate, and scalable cutting system to support its growing production needs.
TopShelf Wood Packaging turned to Original Saw Company to seek a reliable industrial radial arm saw for wood packaging. After being referred by Wood-Mizer, from 2021 to 2024, they invested in three Original Saw Company Heavy Duty Radial Arm Saws, Saw Extension Tables, and Saw Measuring Systems.
Each industrial radial arm saw for wood packaging serves a distinct purpose in their shop:
By switching to Original Saw Company’s Heavy Duty Radial Arm Saws, TopShelf Wood Packaging achieved measurable improvements across production, safety, and efficiency.
The dado blade system dramatically reduced grooving time and freed up valuable shop space. Operators can now complete complex cuts faster and more accurately.
These industrial saws for packaging plants withstand continuous use in demanding environments, outperforming the chop saws that previously failed under pressure.
With the ability to cut multiple boards simultaneously and maintain precision, TopShelf’s team operates more efficiently while maintaining high safety standards by using an industrial radial arm saw for wood packaging.
“Our grooving process is more accurate and significantly faster. The saws are robust and hold up to high-volume sawing, replacing our chop saws that couldn’t keep up.”
TopShelf Wood Packaging’s investment in Original Saw Company’s industrial radial arm saws for wood packaging transformed their operations.
They’ve reduced downtime, improved workflow, and increased cutting accuracy — all while operating with greater safety and reliability.
With heavy duty radial arm saws in place, TopShelf continues to meet customer demand confidently and efficiently, positioning itself as a leading wood packaging manufacturer in the Midwest.
