Exquisite tools from Aigner. Now available in our product line.
RUWI and AIGNER
Our workshop isn’t just filled with the things we build ourselves. Some of our tools aren’t made here, but by family-run businesses with which we’ve developed a genuine bond over the years. Innovators. Companies with integrity. Artisans with substance. We use what they build ourselves—day in and day out on our own machines. AIGNER, based in Reisbach in Lower Bavaria, is one such company.
Georg Aigner and the Integral Fence
The spindle moulder is a machine that even experienced carpenters respect—and rightly so. Where the tool extends beyond the stop, a standard moulder fence leaves an open gap. This is precisely where things get critical if a workpiece tips over or kicks back.
Georg Aigner has filled this gap. His integral fence guides the workpiece continuously using swiveling struts, even over the tool. Today, virtually all major spindle moulder manufacturers install it as standard equipment: Martin, SCM, and Felder Format 4. What began as one man’s idea has long since become the industry standard.
Georg Aigner has since passed away. We knew him—he was the kind of person who would turn a problem over and over in his mind until he found a lasting solution. Today, Oliver Loibl carries on his work with the same dedication.
Tools for a Working Lifetime
When it comes to AIGNER, colleagues often say the same thing: “You buy this once in a lifetime.” That really says it all. The attachments are machined from solid material, feature clean workmanship, and are thought out down to the last detail. They tackle precisely those tasks that are tricky on the spindle moulder and solve them so thoroughly that the solution lasts. We understand this design philosophy—our lifting tables and router tables are born from the same philosophy.
What Unites Us
