Six-Head Molder in Operation

We visited Northland Forest Products for a Katz Roadshow event. While we were there, they demonstrated one of their six-head molding machines. Feed a stick of raw rough lumber in one end and a finished piece of molding comes out the other end.

I ran this exact molder for 8 years in mississippi.One of the more fun jobs I've had.

1'st bottom head. Next, fence side head. Next, 3rd Off side head. Next, 1'st top head. Next, 2'nd top head.
Next 6'th bottom head, this head is usually a universal head for splitting or doing additional mouldings etc.
I used to run Wadkin FD 6 and 5 cutter headed moulders in the 1970s/80s in the UK. Enjoyed your video. Tony.

I recently changed belt on cutter head similar to this machine but I didn't know how much tension to put on belt. Hope I didn't tighten it too much. Can anyone give me advice?

Where did you get that tooling caddy? We need one

[@markosabados546]

Is the moulder the same machine as a 4 side planer? We are a small lumber yard interested in making mouldings and planing wood.

[@Madmagic]

it's different but we run our moulder like a 4 sided planer

12000 Rpm?

[@award900]

6000 rpm

[@TalonzGaming]

Where I went to college we had a milling machine that could go up to 17000rpm but it was limited to that, so one say my college teacher said when he gets fired he's going to turn off the limiter and turn it to 22000rpm and run like hell as it would literally just vibrate its self to death 😂 this just makes me chuckle
