T half day educational event featured
seminars from industry experts as well as
plant tours of local woodworking shops and
manufacturing facilities. All of our hosts
were especially gracious and true examples
of Southern hospitality.
The first day was spent at Biesse’s
recently-expanded Charlotte Campus.
Biesse’s wood division teamed up with
their Intermac stone division to combine
manufacturing techniques for cabinet nest-
ing and granite counter top fabrication with
classroom presentations and machinery
demonstrations. The seminar began with a
thorough review of the latest industry trends
for manufacturing wood cabinets, covering
alternative software applications, tooling
recommendations, and spoil board technol-
ogy. Then we moved on to the fabrication of
natural and engineered granite counter tops,
including edgeworks profile, faucet drills,
sink cuts out, seams, and draining grooves.
Attendees received a comprehensive look
into the manufacturing challenges for cabi-
nets and counter tops.
