Linear Milling

From handrail to crown moulding, and flooring to wainscoting, MDB Industries either already has, or can produce it.

Starting with general surfacing, or S2S (Surface 2 Sides), which is typically performed through our double sided planer. We can accommodate material up to 27.5” wide and 8” thick, 18’ long. Cut quality is always paramount, and both the top and bottom heads on our planer are carbide-insert helical style for optimal cut. But, as good as that is, with some materials that are particularly highly figured or prone to tear-out, any cutting type action is prone to cause damage to the material. For those species that require a gentler touch, MDB has a 50HP abrasive planer, capable of up to .125” material removal per pass. It can handle up to 36” wide and 6” thick material, again 18’ long. This is an excellent alternative for those hard to surface materials.

When you need all 4 edges surfaced, or a profile such as casing or flooring, the moulder becomes the machine of choice. Capable of 9” wide, 6” thick and 18’ long, we can machine any profile into stock. The moulder is somewhat unique, being a 7 head machine with outboard bearings. It has an extra side head, a semi-universal head which can be top or bottom cutting, and a true universal head which can rotate 270 degrees around the stock, to cut any profile or detail.
