STRIEBIG for Lumber Yards and Home Improvement Stores
Cut-to-size service makes sheet goods easier to buy. Homeowners can fit panels into their vehicles, while contractors leave with material closer to the dimensions they need. For lumber yards and building suppliers, that service can help sell more sheets and strengthen customer relationships.
STRIEBIG gives employees a supported, repeatable way to size plywood, MDF, OSB, melamine, and other building panels. One operator can handle full sheets and move efficiently between simple transport cuts and longer customer cut lists.
A lighter-duty panel saw may be sufficient for occasional rough sizing. STRIEBIG makes sense when cutting is a daily customer service and accuracy, reliability, and dependable operation justify the investment.

Why Lumber Yards and Home Improvement Stores Choose STRIEBIG
A STRIEBIG helps turn panel cutting into a dependable customer service without requiring excessive floor space or a dedicated saw operator.
Which STRIEBIG Fits Your Cutting Service?
The right starting point depends on how often customers request cuts, the materials and panel sizes you carry, and whether you provide occasional sizing or a dedicated cut-to-size service.
Most lumber yards and home improvement stores can be well served by a manual Compact or Standard platform. Additional operator assistance and automation make sense only when high volume, repeated cutting lists, or especially large panels create a recurring bottleneck.
| Model | Standard Cut Depth | Operation | Choose It When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact | 2-3/8″ | Manual | You need an economical, durable saw for regular walk-in cuts, common sheet sizes, and straightforward daily operation. |
| Compact Plus | 2-3/8″ | Manual | You regularly process panels longer than 10 feet and want included Y-axis measurement, additional staging space, and greater cutting length. |
| Standard | 3-1/8″ | Manual | You need more power and cutting depth for frequent use, thicker or denser materials, and a wider range of customer work. |
| Standard S | 3-1/8″ | Manual with available Comfort Package | You want Standard capacity with available scoring, measuring, positioning, and material-handling assistance. |
Higher levels of operator assistance and automation are available for dedicated, high-volume cut-to-size operations. Special factory configurations are also available for cutting depths up to 4″ and beyond.
