We Cut Timber

What type of cuts can be done at a Bunnings store?

Bunnings stores typically have two types of saws for timber cutting.

• Docking saw - used to cut long lengths of timber down to size. The machine can cut across the length of timber at a 90-degree angle. Examples of products that can be cut on a docking saw include Pine framing, Pine mouldings, Tasmanian Oak mouldings, Merbau decking and Pine decking.

• Panel saw – used to cut large sheet materials into smaller rectangular sections and pieces. The machine is capable of both horizontal and vertical cuts on most of our board products. Some examples of products that can be cut using a panel saw include Melamine and Plywood.

What size cuts can be made and how much does it cost?

Cuts to timber and panels boards are rounded up to 100mm increments. We are unable to do precision cuts. The minimum length of cut timber is 600mm.

Customers are required to purchase any remaining offcuts measuring less than 1800mm.

Multiple timber cuts may incur a charge of $1 per cut.

When is the best time to visit a store for timber cutting?

Visiting at a quieter time will ensure faster service. It's best to avoid weekends and public holidays as many other D.I.Y. enthusiasts will also be looking to build their own projects.
