Lat­tas­burg Lum­ber­Works machines sev­er­al semi loads of Kiln Dried (KD) Hard­wood lum­ber each week . The cus­tom mill­work and mould­ing prod­ucts are machined to the very pre­cise spec­i­fi­ca­tions of +/- (5) thou­sands of an inch.

The process starts with bring­ing the kiln dried lum­ber to the 2‑sided plan­er (pic­tured on left). The top and bot­tom sur­face of the boards are skim planed (or hit or miss sur­faced) to cre­ate a ref­er­ence plane.

The sur­faced lum­ber is width sawed into mould­ing blanks. Sev­er­al dif­fer­ent widths are ripped from the boards to increase the yield. These moul­der blanks are sawed ³⁄₁₆″ larg­er than the fin­ished product.

The tool­ing is care­ful­ly ground using a pro­file knife grinder (pic­tured on the left). Cus­tom tem­plates are made with a CNC tem­plate mak­er to match either a wood sam­ple or a draw­ing. The knife grinder oper­a­tor takes radi­al mea­sure­ments of the ground cut­ter heads. These mea­sure­ments are trans­ferred to the mould­ing machine to reduce the set up time.

The moul­der man locks the mould­ing heads onto the moul­der and adjusts the machine to pro­duce the fin­ished stock (pic­tured on the left). A test piece of poplar stock is used to set the moul­der before the blanks are machined. The prod­uct may be sand­ed on one or both sides before being pack­aged for ship­ment. Many of the cus­tom mould­ings shown in the pro­file sec­tion are kept in inven­to­ry. Red Oak, Cher­ry, Poplar, Soft maple, Quar­ter sawn White Oak, Hick­o­ry, Wal­nut and White Elm are species com­mon­ly machined.

The final prod­uct is deliv­ered to whole­sale wood cus­tomers such as fur­ni­ture mak­ers, cab­i­net mak­ers, pic­ture frame man­u­fac­tur­ers and hard­wood floor­ing installers (pic­tured on the left). Many of the stan­dard pro­files are stocked in Red oak, Cher­ry, Poplar, Brown Maple, Quar­ter sawn White oak and White Elm.
