WIDE BOARDS
Our molders are open ended allowing stock to cut wide boards such as base boards and raised
panel doors. Wide stock cuts may need support from the open ended side. Below are some
guidelines to follow for this application.

Larger pieces such as a door two people or supports on each end of the molder may be
needed to allow the operator to apply pressure on the stock as it feeds through.
1.
Stand somewhere between the open side and the infeed side to assist stock through.
2.
While molding apply upward pressure on the stock along with pressure against the guide.
