Despite the advances in technology, edging remains somewhat of an art. The balance between what a machine can do, and how much needs to be finished by hand affects the time it takes to process manufactured goods. The edging system in use at Milltech still requires the skilled eye and hand of a craftsman to make initial settings. Servo motors control all of the implements giving the operator the ability to make incredibly fine adjustments to the settings. The greatest advantage offered by the system is its ability to store every setting in perfect detail. Once the operator has made all the necessary settings and adjustments, they are entered into the CNC database. A single code entry can recreate the painstaking adjustments made by the operator, allowing settings to be changed in seconds. The end result is a product with consistent flawless edges that require no hand finishing.

Depending on the requirement of the project, Milltech has the capacity to manufacture panels either Surface before Edge, or Edge before Surface. There are obvious cost and aesthetic arguments for either. Our equipment allows us to manufacture in either mode.
