Rough lumber often starts at the Mereen-Johnson Rip Navigator. This amazing saw system has an automated in-feed system with a de-stacker, and is capable of handling units of lumber up to 16' long. As each piece of lumber is introduced to the machine It is individually scanned every 3 inches for width, crook, bow and length. This information is evaluated by highly sophisticated software to achieve optimum yield and versatility of the customer-specified rip requirements. This intelligent saw uses its multiple fixed pockets and Automatically adjusts its two shifting blades to achieve the desired rips. The large out feed chain system facilitates efficient sorting and grading of multiple rip sizes The Mereen Johnson saw Can operate in a fully-automatic or semi-automatic mode, and allows for operator intervention.

Not the least of our machining capabilities is the Millwork andComponents Division tooling center giving us the ability to accurately duplicate any molding profile - whether an historic replication or an industry standard. Templates and tooling are created from the meticulous auto cad drawings rendered from our in-house system to tight specifications, offering tolerances of +- 5 thousandths. The precision tooling is created with either high-speed steel or carbide materials to meet project needs. All of that finely-honed, precision engineering is aimed at exactly one thing: turning out the quality products our customers not only need, but deserve.

Weinig, is well-known and respected throughout the millwork industry for being the leading manufacturer of moulding equipment. Weinig's Powermat 1000 moulder at the Millwork and Components Division takes Weinig's expertise to a new level. The Powermat 1000 is a CNC controlled system with HSK tooling heads. Offering reduced set up times and accurate, repeatable profile runs. The 12000 RPM, 6 head system produces superior molded surfaces, meeting, and often exceeding, customer quality requirements. What does this do for our customers? It reduces customer time required to finish the product and eliminates unnecessary labor at the time of installation.

Quality-sensitive products - such as pre finished veneers and high-pressure laminates- Are handled with care Bargstsdt retrieval system. Each panel measuring Up to 5' X 12' with a minium thickness of 1/8" Is moved with a vacuum pick system to eliminate defects and provide our customers with a high-quality end result.

Fed by the Bargstadt retrieval system, The Holzma HPP 380 Panel saw system's Jump-scoring capability allows a cut through the finished banded edge, without compromising the integrity and quality of the part. The cutting speed of over 100 meters per minute means that Lumber Products Millwork & Components Division can meet required lead times, while maintaining high customer expectations for quality and precision.

We use the IMA Novimat to apply PVC edgebanding in thicknesses from .018 through 3 mm. onto component parts ranging from 12mm to 60mm in thickness. The Novimat also applies real-wood veneer edgebanding from .02 to 3 mm. Thin edge banding tapes are flush trimmed and buffed to a precision quality, whereas thick edgebanding is offered with a radius profile. Additionally, on four-sided edgebanded product, the machine can apply a corner round over. The feed rate of up to 25 meters per minute gives Millwork and Components Division the opportunity to meet customer lead times, while focusing on producing high quality components.

One of only a few on the West Coast, the Homag B-A-Z machining center is capable of both perimeter and interior routing of parts and provides boring and drilling capability with state-of-the-art vertical and horizontal functions. Its large capacity machining surface, that accommodates material up to 5x12 feet, makes it the optimum machine for a variety of projects, large and small. The unique B-A-Z system applies PVC edge banding in thicknesses from 1 to 3mm, and 2mm real-wood veneer edgebanding in thicknesses from 1 through 3 mm, even on contoured perimeters. The Homag B-A-Z 322 machining center produces fine components at strict tolerances for store fixtures, school and office furniture, kitchen cabinets, closet and garage organization systems, and a wide variety of customer specified parts.

The Weeke CNC point-to-point machining center provides customers of the Millwork and Components Division with customer specified routing along with vertical and horizontal drilling. This results in custom manufactured components that are ready for assembly. Machined components are ideal for use in custom cabinets, fixtures, closet parts, or as display components. With a 4'x12' capacity, the Weeke offers versatile solutions for optimizing panels – saving time and reducing waste.
