After this piece, I begin to run all three stages at the same time. The Woodmaster had no problem handling the three processes. As you can see, a 10' piece of molding only takes around 2-3 minutes from roughsawn cypress to ready-to-install.
This is the first time I’ve seen one in action, thanks for the video! How long have you been using this machine and so you find yourself sanding much before stain or clears? Thanks!
Sweet setup. I’ve got a 718 but haven’t used it. Simply because I’m using paint grade mdf for moulding. But I want to start using for gang rips. And maybe a profile I always use a shaper for. But not sure about it. Can I gang rip solid 1-3/4” stock? Maple and poplar usually. And what is finish like on ripped edges? I would love to get your perspective. Or maybe a video on setup for such things. Thank you.
Hello James. I have a Woodmaster I have not used much. I am going to be using it for a new cabinet business to make tons of moldings. Are you using one knife per backcut/profile or multiples? I am guessing based upon the speed you are running the boards through that you are using multiple knives and not just one.
Walsh Built Homes I am only using one knife per to 700c. The back profile on one and the top profile on the other. The knives come with a balance block to install on the opposite side of the 700c.
I have the accessory shaft. I'm using 2 gang rip blades on stage 1 to rip to width. Then I have 2-700C's for the back and front cutters on stage 2 & 3.
My father bought a wood master and we are having trouble finding instructions on exactly how to set it up for crown molding. We plan to use store bought lumber but have no idea what the starting thickness or width should measure before it goes to the molding knives.
I created the molding board that is divided into the 3 sections. I am using rough-sawn ~1x4 cypress and, I used the gang blades to rip to proper width. If you are using store bought lumber, your width and thickness is consistent and and you would not need to gang blade rip to width. I would still mold my back bevel 1st so that you have an absolute consistent thickness as well as this gives you a flat surface for molding the front profile. I would start with the flat part molder head just skimming the board when cutting the back bevel. It is very important that you run the board through centered on the back bevel cutter and then also on the profile cutter. This is where setting up your molding board is important.
Hey we are using machine from saraswati it can put the blade out up to easily 5/8 without touching feed roller it make best. Only thing you must motor 5 hp.
+Paul Schuster I did not have to adjust the height of the table. I used the back cutter to "plane" my material to the proper thickness to then cut the front of my molding.
Mitch, that is correct. once you get started, and if you can keep up, you can keep all stages full. Of course you have to move the board from left to right for each stage. You're sending the board through 3 times.
chade74 This was rough sawn cypress approximately 1" thick. The back cutter (center stage) planed the thickness down as well as the front cutter on the last stage. standard 1x4 would work.
James Jolly. I got a different machine from another company. There moulding knives call for 1 inch exact and we all know that you buy 1 inch from a lumber yard you getting under a inch. thanks for your reply.
Salmon Hunter you'll need to make molding boards for your various styles. each stage may need to be height adjusted depending on the depth of cuts required for the particular stage (back or front).
If I convert a $5 board into a $20-$25 board every 3 minutes, that's 20 boards per hour or $300-$400 per hour shop rate after paying for the $5 boards. I consider that time well spent.

is that the 718 woodmaster???

Wow how much?
Hi how much cost the Machine ???

This can be done in one cutting

how are you running three knifes/blades at once?
+Paul Schuster I did not have to adjust the height of the table. I used the back cutter to "plane" my material to the proper thickness to then cut the front of my molding.
Hello. What is the name of this machine?
It's a Woodmaster 718. I have one, and I love it. It's a planer, a moulder, a drum sander, and a rip saw all in one machine.
so you can do stages 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously??
Mitch,
that is correct. once you get started, and if you can keep up, you can keep all stages full. Of course you have to move the board from left to right for each stage. You're sending the board through 3 times.
Hi, Can you tell me what size woodmaster that is?
This is an Woodmaster 718 (18")
How thick is the wood you used?
chade74
This was rough sawn cypress approximately 1" thick. The back cutter (center stage) planed the thickness down as well as the front cutter on the last stage. standard 1x4 would work.

Just ordered a 725 anything unique about setting up the Woodmaster? Looking to make molding of all types.
Salmon Hunter you'll need to make molding boards for your various styles. each stage may need to be height adjusted depending on the depth of cuts required for the particular stage (back or front).
That's a long process, Time is money
If I convert a $5 board into a $20-$25 board every 3 minutes, that's 20 boards per hour or $300-$400 per hour shop rate after paying for the $5 boards. I consider that time well spent.
