=> Wood Processing Professionals Unite, Deliver Message to
Washington
On February 16, the Wood Machinery Manufacturers of
America (WMMA) held their annual Public Policy Fly-In that
drew more that 100 wood processing professionals to
Washington, DC. WMMA members and others emphasized that
this nation’s future depends on manufacturing, and that a
strong manufacturing base requires policy-makers to scale
back the external costs that make it so expensive to
manufacture in the United States.

When almost all aspects of designing a run of frameless
cabinets are accounted for, one area remains unresolved -
where doors and panels meet. How much should a door
overlay an applied end panel... if at all?

nature of beaded face frame fabrication? Tools and

A quality installer deserves fair pay and reasonable time
to complete a job... but just who sets the standard, and
how? With so many possible procedures, and no solid
protocol, this is not an easy issue to clear up.
