About Window System Cutters

A selection of tooling to assist in the production of timber windows using a router, rather than a spindle moulder. This unique set of cutters, designed by Wealden and Fry Design, is a relatively simple system using the minimum of machinery: a router, a saw and only a few other tools. A video showing the basic sequence of making a UK window can be found by searching on YouTube for "Router Window system". A page-turning leaflet is available from this link.

The tools will produce professional outward-opening flush timber windows in a UK style.

Using our suggested timber section sizes for the frame and sash will ensure that our cutters will produce the correct mouldings. In addition, our pdf calculator will work out a detailed cutting list. A set of pdf files illustrating general construction details, section sizes, jigs etc. is available. Please contact us for details.

It must be stressed that these tools are NOT intended for use by the novice, but by competent woodworkers with a knowledge of window-making.

Before committing to the manufacture of windows you should be aware of the following: Building regulations now have additional requirements for installation of windows and doors in domestic dwellings. If your work involves building control you will need heat loss u-value figures for the windows and you may also need CE certification for building regulations approval. If in doubt please ask.
