This is where quality starts. Profile knives are made to tolerances of less than .0005 of an inch and measured by computer and sent to the moulder.
Sharpening of these special tools are done here without changing size by using the "Axial Constant Method."

An automatic saw that jumps up about 8" from the end, cutting a relief kerf the length of the log then jumping down before going through the end of the log.
This gives us two solid ends to cut for the interlocking corners.

This is a five head machine that takes square cant's and moulds them into almost any profile imaginable.
It can do profiles from 10" in height to 17" in width.

Known as the "Green Chain", when it receives a log from the moulder an electric eye tells the chain to jump up and move the log off the rollers to the chain until the chain is full.
The green chain carries the logs to the cut off saw where the chain jumps up to set the log on the cut off saw rollers.
