Furniture Joiner

You cut panels on the beam saw to the cutting list, edge them on the bander and drill the fittings on the boring machine. On the solid wood line you plane, thickness and mortise the parts and glue up the frames in the press. Every piece is checked with a square and a tape before assembly, and a panel with a chipped edge goes back for recutting. You clean the machines and empty the extraction at the end of the shift. Work runs 07:00-15:00.
