Behind the machines and measurements, there is always time for a bit of fun along the way!

At Allied Composites, versatility is part of the job description!

While we'll leave the machining to the experts at Progress Precision Engineering (PPE), this is a reminder that great results come from having the right people, the right tools and the right processes working together.

Through in-house machining, cutting, processing and finishing capabilities, PPE helps ensure that components are manufactured to exact specifications, supporting the quality, efficiency and reliability our customers have come to expect from Allied Composites.

By keeping these critical processes under one roof, we're able to streamline production, offer turn-key solutions and maintain quality standards from concept to completion.

Built on accuracy, driven by quality, and powered by a team that knows how to get the job done… and enjoy the process doing it. ⚙️😄

Kurt challenged André to a material cutting competition… but he had a secret weapon up his sleeve. 😄

While André took on the challenge with normal scissors, Kurt brought out the WBT-2 Electric Scissors — and let’s just say, it made things a little unfair. Fast, clean, and seriously handy in the workshop, the WBT-2 is a game-changer when cutting materials like vacuum bag/film, carbon fabrics, flow media, e-glass, and more.

Want to see the full unboxing and overview of the WBT-2 Electric Scissors?

In this video, we unbox and take a closer look at the WBT-2 Electric Scissors — a practical cordless cutting solution designed to make cutting composite materials faster, cleaner, and more efficient.

For anyone working with fibre reinforcements in the composites and manufacturing industries, including general fabrication workshops, having the right cutting tool can make a big difference. The WBT-2 Electric Scissors offer a convenient alternative to traditional scissors, making it easier to cut materials such as vacuum bagging film, carbon fibre fabrics, aramid fabrics, flow media, E-glass reinforcements, and other workshop materials.

In this overview, we look at the tool, its basic features, and how it can help improve cutting speed, accuracy, and ease of use in a fast-paced workshop environment.

Whether for professional production or hands-on fabrication work, this versatile tool is designed to meet the needs of users across multiple industries.

❄️ Why Resin Behaves Differently in Winter

Cold temperatures can have a big impact on how resin flows, cures, and performs. Understanding how seasonal conditions affect your materials can help you achieve stronger, more consistent results on every project.

✔️ Store resin in a warmer area before use
✔️ Work in a controlled environment where possible
✔️ Measure and mix accurately
✔️ Allow sufficient curing time
✔️ Follow product guidelines for best results

Whether you’re working on repairs, manufacturing, moulding, laminating, or custom composite projects, the right preparation makes all the difference.
