Antique Woodworking Machinery
Some of our competitors pride themselves in using the most modern, state-of the-art machines available for producing "historic" millwork. This does not make sense to Weston Millwork Company. For example, if you are trying to reproduce a Victorian door casing that was originally made in the 1870s, which machine will do the most authentic job? A modern, high-speed precision moulder, or the same machine that produced your original moulding? We agree with you! The original equipment would be the better choice.
While it is true that our old machines are not as "fast" at producing moulding as today's modern equipment is, there are several reasons that make the old machinery a superior choice. In addition to unexcelled authenticity, our machines are much more versatile and easy to set up for short-runs of moulding. This saves money in set-up costs. Additonally, Weston Millwork Company has the capability for grinding knives for an exact match. We also have hundreds of old, authentic moulding knives on hand.
