   MANUFACTURING PROCESS  

   
 A variety of woods are used to create the DRAPER-DBS designs. Measuring is an important task throughout the production process. 
   
Rip cuts on the table saw trim a piece of wood along its length.  The table saw is also used for cross-cuts that cut across the grain of the wood.
   
 A cut-off saw allows for multiple pieces of wood to be easily cut to the same exact length. This machine shapes one edge at a time on the edge of a raised panel that will be used on a door of a cabinet. 
   
A shaper is used to cut a molded or shaped piece of trim for a cabinet. Molding is fit as part of a decoration.
   
Bar clamps are used to hold together fresh glue joints.  Glue is scraped away from where two boards were joined. 
   
 This special sander has an exhaust unit built into the base of the table to remove the dust. A worker at DRAPER-DBS checks the fit of a piece of wood on a corner cabinet. Note the raised panel design on the front surface.
