Safety first!
Safety must be the top priority when working and playing. Our PLAYmake jigsaw is designed so that the skin vibrates with the saw blade and there is no risk of injury. This makes PLAYmake ideal for teaching and workshops.
All PLAYmake machines are designed to be child-safe, so there is no risk of injury. Already from
preschool age (5 years) can make their first workpieces themselves with PLAYmake.
Quality as a feature!
We have been producing machines for over 40 years! Quality and functionality are part of our company philosophy. Our PLAYmake 4in1 mirrors large wooden machines in the way it works. Young craftsmen can give free rein to their creativity and create gifts and toys themselves.

Jig saw
Wood lathe
The child-safe lathe allows children as young as four years old to independently create projects from softwood.
Sanding machine
Safe sanding is ideal for giving your own workpieces the final touch or easily sharpening your own tools.
Drill press
The drill allows for child-safe drilling in wood. The vibration of the drill bit ensures safety while still enabling the drilling of small holes.
