More cabinet manufacturers in the FDM 300 report higher sales, but overall trend is down in 2011.
Q: I have read every Wood Doctor column you have written
and have gained a lot of practical information. But here is a
question I have not seen addressed before. As background, our
fairly large company has really gone into JIT, just-in-time,
manufacturing, which means in-process materials cannot sit around
very long at all. Well, this has recently translated into
machining our glued up panels (edge-glued on a clamp carrier)
within 24 hours after they are glued, or sometimes less. Of
course, you know what the problem is: sunken glue joints that are
obvious after finishing. My suggestion of waiting three days
after gluing, as we have always done, has not been well-received.
I am hoping that you have some help for us.
