Dave; we're a Weeke shop except for the heavy routing and shaping stuff where we use Heian's. Wood WOP is fairly easy to use. Weeke provides our sister company outside Montreal excellent service and they also employ IMOS (20/20) to handle there prod…

This issue may be related to the material or to the equipment you're using now. All the other paramenters looks fine for me.
The fact that is not repeating this issue every cycle might be connected with a non proper calibration of the particle b…
Well Ralph; you're farther down the road on this than I am, but I'm catching up. I use Linkedin alot, but probably need to get a spot on Face Book. Generally speaking engineers became engineers to hide their lack of social grace. That's all changing…

Looking for some information regarding water tape on veneer faces. We have pretty well banned the use of water tape to repair faces since our move to water based stain and top coat. Prior to that we could always count on the solvent to destroy what…

Need a little help; I recently moved over to one of our other panel production plants. and we are experiencing (on a good day) 5x-6x the amount of veneer de-lamination. Both are hot press operation using identical setting 80-100psi applied, 7g-9g gl…
What I can tell you for sure is that when your book height falls below abt 2.8 the router will out run the saw when it come to busting up parts. additionally the optimizing software (aka Cut-Rite and others) and the nesting software (aka Sigma nest…
This group is for anyone interested in CNC machining in woodworking.
As lot/batch sizes continue to fall the feasiblity of a traditional panel saw seems to becoming suspect. I would like to see the discussion begin as to point of indifference between router or saw, and advantages of either one
Jim, Will is right your comment are dead on. I tend to measure almost everything and the hard lesson I have learned is be very, very careful what you measure because people will give you what you measure. It becomes our job as leaders to make sure t…

I've been with American Seating, Herman Miller, HON, Steelcase, and a couple of Herman Miller satelite operations. I tried to get into Haworth recently when they were searching for a Lean guy, but nothing came of it. I hope you will join in some of the Lean discussions.

- Hi Bob, welcome to the site. I'm glad to see that furniture manufacturing is still alive and well in North Carolina. Is your company an independent manufacturer or division of one of the major office furniture companies?
