At
Brettells the bulk of our production is standard designs of
stairparts produced on high volume rotary knife lathes using
the best quality softwood from the managed forests of Scandinavia.
We produce bespoke designs of twist turnings, open, barley,
hollow or rope twist. At least 30% of our work is of special
patterns made to order. Reeding, fluting and fretwork are
done to customer's specification. We design and manufacture
table legs, chair legs, knobs and bun feet for the pine furniture
trade.
We operate various automatic fixed knife machines, possibly
the fastest of all the turning machines, these are ideal for
finials, tassel moulds, knobs, gallery pegs and small turnings.
We use hydraulic copying lathes for short runs of special
balusters and newels. Cranked chair back legs can be turned
from solid timber. Face plate turnings and spheres are laminated
to prevent splitting.
Rotary cutter head doweling machines produce accurate Dowels
from 6mm up to 88mm diameter. Dowels can be run with grooves
for glueing or smooth and sanded, ideal for wall fix handrail.
We have a variety of moulding machines that can produce architrave,
Daido and handrail as well as P.A.R stock.
Architrave Blocks, Castor Cups, Lace Bobbins, Pipe Ferrules,
Carvers Mallets, Tool Handles, Gear Knobs and Coat Hangers
are just a few of the thousand of items this company has produced
over the years.
In all we have around 150 different machines which produce
a wide variety of quality turned components for all industries.
A family run firm with over 170 years experience.
