MISSISSAUGA, Ontario – Normand, one of Canada’s leading full-service importers and distributors of industrial woodworking equipment, will present equipment from Pillar Machine and Steel City at the Woodworking Machinery & Supply Conference & Expo.

Those featured products are in addition to demonstrations of panel processing equipment manufactured by Vitap, Cehisa, and Altendorf.

Normand will present the Pillar MMTJ miter machine, full 3-axis CNC machining center used for producing high-quality miter joints used in cabinet door manufacturing. This machine can produce between 175 and 200 doors per 8-hour shift with one operator.

Normand’s booth will also feature demonstrations of the Pillar HP5D, a horizontal point-to-point bore and dowel insertion and panel groove machining center. It is designed to CNC position a drill spindle, bore a hole, then CNC position the dowel inserter, inject glue or water (for pre-glued dowels), and insert the dowel into the hole. The HP5D can also cut a panel groove in the center section of the inside edge of the door stile and the entire inside edge of the door rail material.

Normand will also showcase a wide range of Steel City’s line of traditional machines that includes table saws, band saws, jointers, planers, drill presses, sanders, and bench-type models.

The Steel City Titanium Series will also be present with along with a line-up of industrial quality production machines for both panel and solid wood processing.
