List of British manufacturers of woodworking machines

[CornishWoodworker]

Just look at most of the machinery offered by different suppliers.
Example Bandsaws
They often look similar to each, barring their brand colours.
Then look at the alibaba website and search bandsaws for the Asian manufacturer selling the same item.
Bandsaws selling in the UK for £400 plus can be had to uk spec for well less than £180.
Let's face the UK has very little industrial prowess when it comes to, especially to low to medium priced machinery.
Also lots of the higher end stuff has many internationally sourced components.

 

[CornishWoodworker]

Not many UK sourced, manufactured and assembled machinery manufacturers left in the UK
Many so called UK manufacturers design machinery but use foreign sourced parts and these are merely assembled in the UK.

Kine I already have in the list (out of alphabetical order though. Sorry!) and Interwood too. Not sure about NU Tool. Will check. Thanks Peter

Nu Tool was taiwan and China...also Naerok was from Korea originally ... (it is Korean spelled backwards)

Meddings - my father had a scroll saw and gave me a drill - or are they made by someone else?

Yes, they made them. Also sandstone grinding machines. Thanks.

Interesting. Thanks. Hadn't come across them before. Maybe a bit too general purpose for a woodworking machine list though?

I believe a fair bit of the big stuff ends up in wood products manufacturing - particularly the atex machines.
