I didn’t know they were making those

I spent years in the pine molding industry

Door frames, molding, etc and we produced and ran lots of finger jointed material

Been out of the game too long I guess

i dont know how well id trust them

Finger jointed studs have been around since the 1980's. They can be used for structural framing.

I know builders who only use finger jointed lumber, for building entire homes. Simply because of how straight they are, less prone to twist, bowing, warping, etc.

Last handful of years, a lot of builders have been switching to LVL glulam studs. They are hella stout, almost no bounce when nailing to them.

We also got into microwave edge gluing a couple of years before they sold the plant and closed it

A big table with a teflon bed and pneumatic top press and side and end presses

You made S4S, ran it across a special edge glued, lined them up in the press and hit the go button and the top came down and the sides and end clamps came in and squared it all up and then it did a final tightening and the microwave kicked in and cooked the glue

You had a sheet of pretty strong wood you could rip to whatever dimension to run through the molder

That thing was temperamental as all hell and was constantly needing to be tended too

good morning folks,
not much change on today's plan, 238's. With luck I might get one started.
The one I plan to use frequently got new crank bearings, and as an experiment I put in one pto bearing originally used on the Stihl 020, SKF 394764, I had four of them.
It has the same dimensions as Husqvarna's F A G 543301
