Custom Molding Reproduction
San Francisco Victoriana's millwork plant is capable of manufacturing any custom molding you may require for your project. We can duplicate from a sample or drawing and run your custom order from 1/4" through 12" in width and from 6 feet through 30,000 plus feet. We will scan your drawings or samples into our computer design system to generate an exact template on our 3 axial computer controlled template maker. We can generate drawings for your approval and can store your designs for future use. Please contact us with your specifications for a quote.
The Custom Molding Reproduction Process
Step 1:
We work with your scale drawing or sample.
We require a sample at least 1" in size, stripped or painted.
Step 2:
We scan your sample or detail drawing into our computer CAD system.
The design information is sent to a computer controlled 3 axis router
which cuts an exact template for the profile-tooling grinder.
Step 3:
Blank tooling is cut, balanced and mounted in circular molder heads.
Complex wood moldings may require up to 6 cutterheads to duplicate.
Step 4:
The cutterheads are mounted in the profile-tooling grinder and manipulated
against the profile template. This produces a perfectly balanced 2-knife
cutterhead that exactly matches your sample or drawing.
Completed tooling, ground and sharpened, ready for the molder.
Step 5:
The necessary cutterheads are mounted in our molding machines. Your
materials are selected, planed for uniformity and ripped to width. The
molder heads are mounted and the machine is adjusted. A test run is
completed to verify proper dimensions.
Step 6:
Finally the materials selected for your profile are run to complete
your order.
