Berlin Combines Resaw with Matcher The Berlin Machine Works have, during the past few years, given to the lumber industry a number ot ma- chines that have made it more than profitable, for their users, to remain in the lumber business. Such ma- chines as their new fast feed match- ers with profiling device have almost revolutionized the production of the class of product which they manufac- ture. The Berlin horizontal resaws also> have had a wonderful effect on cer- tain systems of manufacture, for the most part in the box factory. The twin horizontal No. 345 is a wonderful producer with its hopper feed running a constant stream of stock through two saws. The latest combination machine put on the market by the Berlin peo- ple is more interesting in itself perhaps, than either of these, because it makes everything in double thickness. This machine requires in effect one operation to finish two pieces of either flooring, shiplap, novelty siding, ceiling and bevel siding. This is the new Berlin Com- bination Matcher-Resaw No. 350. It combines in one machine a late Berlin Matcher Profiler with the horizontal resaw. Probably the most interesting thing about this machine is that it makes perfect bevel and novelty siding at the same speed given the fast-feed matcher in making matched, beaded and profiled stock in single thickness. This is an entirely new method of manufacture. An output of beveled siding for instance has heretofore depended on two ma- chines and four men. Two men take full care of the No. 350. The manufacture of bevel siding until now has meant a lot of extra truck- ing and double handling, a large proportionate expense on low priced lumber. The one-operation machine simplifies the system and lowers the cost. Beaded and profile stock is as well made in double thick- ness with the combined machine as the regular ma
