Description
Wood stake pointing machines, also referred to as stake sharpening machines, stake pointers or pole pointing equipment, are specialised industrial units designed for the production of pointed wooden stakes. They enable the accurate pointing of round or square-section pieces with high dimensional precision and excellent repeatability, ensuring uniform stakes for fencing, construction, agriculture and other industrial applications.
Manufactured in Portugal by Irmach and marketed under the Bartly brand, these machines combine robust mechanical engineering, efficient cutting systems and an industrial design prepared for continuous operation in demanding environments.
Robust Performance and Reliability
Designed for intensive use in sawmills and stake production units, Bartly stake pointing machines offer stable operation, low maintenance requirements and consistent finish quality, even in extended shifts.
The reinforced industrial construction, high-durability components and properly dimensioned transmission systems minimise unplanned stops and maximise equipment availability.
High Precision and Repeatability
Precise control of pointing angle and cutting depth ensures uniform and dimensionally consistent stake points, essential for easy ground penetration and good installation stability.
Adjustment systems allow quick setup changes according to stake length and dimensions – from short fencing stakes to longer pieces for structural support – while maintaining high standards of quality and finish.
Versatility and Line Integration
The machines can process both round and square-section pieces and are easily integrated into existing production lines, with options for manual or automatic feeding, automatic ejection of finished stakes and different cutting tool configurations.
They can operate as standalone equipment or as part of fully automated lines, adapting to the needs of small workshops and large industrial plants alike.
Industrial Design for Continuous Operation
Reinforced steel structures, over-dimensioned power transmission systems, safety guards compliant with European standards and easily replaceable wear parts provide a balanced combination of performance, reliability and ease of maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pieces can be processed?
Bartly stake pointing machines can process both round-section stakes and square or rectangular poles, in different lengths and dimensions depending on the selected model and configuration.
Is feeding manual or automatic?
Machines are available with manual feeding, suitable for lower volumes or greater variety, and with automatic feeding systems for higher and more uniform production, reducing labour and increasing throughput.
Can they process green and dried timber?
Yes. The machines can process both green (freshly cut) and dried timber. Green timber is generally easier to machine and causes less wear on cutting tools; dried timber can also be processed efficiently with appropriate tool maintenance.
Do the machines comply with European safety standards?
Yes. Bartly stake pointing machines are designed in accordance with applicable European directives, with appropriate safety guards, emergency stops and technical documentation including CE declaration of conformity and safety instructions.
Does Irmach provide training and technical support?
Yes. Irmach provides assistance with installation, operator training, supply of spare and wear parts and ongoing technical support to help customers get the best performance from the equipment.
