Not
only does Tompkins use a comprehensive range of traditional woodworking
machines, it has another exclusive side to the business - a CNC machine.
Computer numeric control, the use of computers to programme cutting
machines, is not something that you would immediately associate with
skilled craftsmen. However, we have combined our joinery skills and
traditions with what we believe to be a versatile production tool. No
doubt our predecessors embraced water, steam and electrical power in
that way as they progressed forward. This technology we have mastered,
but still continue to hone and we are now able to create amazing, incredibly
detailed and complex products in both small and large batch quantities,
all with guaranteed repeatability. These machines are ideally suited
to manufacture of items, however simple, however complex, and are undoubtedly
the production method of the future if you want premier quality at affordable
prices.
