5 Essentials for the Ultimate Cabinetmaking Workshop
Australia’s cabinetmaking industry is booming, driven by increased demand for custom kitchens, built-in wardrobes, and home office furniture. In fact, the home renovation market grew by over 5% in 2023, with cabinetry playing a significant role in that growth. To meet this demand, cabinetmakers need a streamlined, efficient workshop equipped with the right machinery. Here are the 5 essential machines that will take your new or existing business to the next level.
CNC Machine: Automating Precision
As CNC machines become safer, more reliable, cost-effective and a drawcard for attracting the next generation of chippies, they have become the backbone of an efficient workshop. With precise, automated cutting, drilling, and shaping, they save time, save space and reduce waste. A CNC ensures every cut and detail is flawless. Our CNC machinery range is fully customisable for all space and productivity requirements. Customisations include 1200 x 2400 mm to 1800 x 3600 mm tables (other sizes possible, contact us), automatic loading and unloading, automatic tool changing and automatic labelling. All machines are tested and compatible with industry-leading Mozaik CNC software.
Why it’s essential: With Australian homeowners increasingly requesting bespoke designs, CNC machines enable you to meet these demands efficiently. By 2025, CNC machine usage in custom cabinetry is projected to grow by 15%, making it a key investment for forward-thinking workshops.

Edgebanders: A Seamless Finish Every Time
An edgebander ensures that every cabinet and panel you produce has smooth, professional edges. Aaron Group’s range of edgebanders uses hot melt glue technology for strong adhesion and a sleek finish. We offer solutions for all budgets, and for straight and bevelled handle-free finger-pull edgebanding.
Why it’s essential: Clean, durable edges are non-negotiable in today’s competitive market. A 2023 survey found that 70% of Australian homeowners value cabinetry aesthetics as much as functionality. A top-notch edgebander guarantees both.
Panel Saw: Efficiency Meets Precision
Cutting large sheets of HMR, plywood or MDF is a breeze with Aaron Group’s panel saws. With precision cuts and versatility, panel saws are essential for any cabinetmaking operation.
Why it’s essential: In an industry where time equals money, panel saws help you complete small jobs faster without compromising accuracy. If repairs need to be made, a panel saw is a must to minimise time wastage.
Dust Extraction System: A Clean Workshop is a Safe Workshop
Health and safety are critical, and dust extraction systems not only protect your workers but also maintain machine efficiency. Excess dust can cause tooling to wear quicker, become a respiratory hazard for workers, and pose a danger for slipping on certain surfaces. Prevent work compensation claims, and promote peace of mind for workers and their families with a clean and safe workshop environment. Aaron Group offers high-quality dust extraction systems that keep your workshop clean, safe and efficient.
Why it’s essential: A dust extraction system isn't just about cleanliness. Recent Australian regulations emphasise worker safety, with strict limits on dust exposure in workshops. Stay compliant and keep your workspace safe.
Single-Phase Machinery: Innovative and Efficient Repairs
Nothing is worse than arriving on site for a piece to get damaged during transport or installation. It's not always worth it to start up the CNC machine or warm up the edgebander for a singular piece. That's where Aaron Group's unique range of single-phase machinery comes in. With many machines developed in-house and patented, check out our range of portable edgebanders, single-phase panel saws, trimming machines, and more!
Why it’s essential: Get repairs and small, bespoke jobs done in a sinch. Some solutions are portable, ensuring that you can take the equipment to make adjustments and repairs on-site.
Building the ultimate cabinetmaking workshop requires a careful planning of budget, innovation, precision, and efficiency. With the machinery and tools offered by Aaron Group, you’ll have everything you need to produce high-quality cabinetry that stands out in Australia’s competitive market. Invest in the right equipment today and stay ahead of the curve.
