HOMAG SAWTEQ B-300 beam saw
Sheet material cut to your list, nested for yield and labelled part by part.
What it does
The beam saw is where most jobs start. Your cutting list or drawing is optimised so the sheet is used properly, cut square to half a millimetre, and every part comes off labelled to your own naming. Air-cushion tables mean big sheets are moved without being dragged, so faces stay clean for spraying later.
Key capabilities
- Optimised nesting — Your list is nested before a blade turns, so you pay for the board you use.
- Square, repeatable cuts — Held to ±0.5mm across the run, first sheet to last.
- Part labelling — Printed labels carry your part names, so the bench builds without measuring.
- Board supplied or yours — We can supply the board off our own racks, or cut material you send in.
Where it sits
Everything starts at the saw
Almost every job in the building passes over this bed first. Sheets are nested, cut and labelled, then walk straight to the edgebander or the CNC in the next bay — so the parts are never driven anywhere and never arrive with a damaged corner.
Why trades choose us
What the beam saw does for your cutting list
Sheet goods cut square, cut the same every time, and cut to get the most out of the board.
Square to a fixed fence
A pressure beam holds the stack while the blade cuts, so parts are square and identical rather than close enough.
Optimised before it cuts
Your list is nested by software first, which is usually the difference between eleven sheets and thirteen.
Labelled as it comes off
Each part is printed with your own part name, so nothing is measured twice at the bench.
Why this matters
Why this matters to your job
What HOMAG SAWTEQ B-300 beam saw changes about the price, the date and the finish you get back.
- 01
No off-site cutting shop
Cut and machined in the same visit, so parts are not driven across town twice.
- 02
Less waste on the invoice
Optimising the nest usually saves a sheet or two on a kitchen-sized job.
- 03
Clean faces for paint
Panels handled on air, not dragged, so there is nothing to sand out later.
- 04
Small runs welcome
One sheet or a hundred; the saw is set from the file either way.

Straight answers
Questions about the HOMAG SAWTEQ B-300 beam saw
What is the biggest sheet you can cut?
Up to 3,050 × 1,300mm on the bed, in stacks. Larger boards are cut down first and the joint is placed where it will not be seen.
Can I send a spreadsheet instead of a drawing?
Yes. A clear cutting list with sizes, board type and edging is enough to price and to run.
How it fits our process
One programme, start to finish
HOMAG SAWTEQ B-300 beam saw is one stage of a run that stays in the same building, start to finish.
- Stage 1
Drawings and pricing
You send a DXF, a model or a sketch. We redraw if needed and price it in writing.
- Stage 2
Board cut to size
Sheets cut on the beam saw, nested for yield.
- Stage 3
Machined and drilled
Routed, drilled and grooved on the 5-axis and vertical CNC machines.
- Stage 4
Edged, veneered, assembled
Tape applied and pressed work bonded before the bench builds it.
- Stage 5
Sprayed and delivered
Finished in our booths, checked, wrapped and brought to site on our vans.
Next step
Put it to work on your job
Send drawings, a cutting list or photographs and we will price it in writing, usually within two working days. If it is quicker to talk it through, call 020 8944 2817 and you will get someone who knows the machines.
