This new thru-spindle model was built especially for the profile that has a variety of overall widths, such as drywall studs, door panels, etc. This new model has three outstanding features over previous panel mills. First, with the use of solid telescoping spindles and fully supported heavy outboard housing, you can obtain an enormous strength advantage over conventional, unsupported, overhung stub-type machines.
Second, width changes can be obtained simply by a turn of a crank or the push of a button. This can reduce tooling changeover time to minutes. (The Series F Panel Mill can be made with one or both sides adjustable.) The third feature is lower cost. Since the new model has only one bank of drive housings versus the two banks required for the old design panel mill, the new model is much less expensive. Ardcor is the "run source" for one-source buying of roll forming equipment.
