Mostly larch,Doug fir, wrc plus random bits of softwood!

First up going to be running panel caps for fencing as we keep being let down and 1 at a time through a spindle moulder isn't great! Then hopefully moving on to t&g boards par and cladding profile's with some bigger sections for pagodas and suchlike! To be fair were hoping to build up some value added to run with our core fencing products!

We have a moretens ph260.

Which from what I can see is the same as the Logosol/woodmizer machines (but a few years older).  We mainly run WRC and Larch through it. 

It's a good machine and has definitely earnt its keep with us (though we did buy 2nd hand). 

You need to have decent dust extraction sorted.

We've found that it's worth picking a couple of sizes for cladding and sticking with them so you can mill and build up a stock of the rough sawn boards to give them time to air dry!

 

Switching between different profiles can be quite time consuming. It's not too bad switching between different types of t&g Cladding, but switching from t&g to par could take an hour or so as you have to adjust the height of cutter blocks and all the fences and pressure rollers.
