The Challenge

Adam frequently encountered projects that required matching older, custom millwork, which was no longer available from traditional suppliers. The ability to produce small, custom-run moldings was crucial, but no local providers offered short production runs.

The Solution

Having successfully used a Williams & Hussey Molder in the past, Adam knew it was the ideal solution for his business. The molder’s ability to accommodate both standard and custom knives gave him the flexibility to meet his customers’ needs. The custom knives created by Williams & Hussey provided an excellent match for existing profiles and had a fast turnaround time. These factors allow him to replicate intricate designs quickly and with precision. The machine’s versatility made it an important addition to his shop, giving him complete control over production without the need to outsource.

Products Used

  • Williams & Hussey Molder
  • Standard Knives – casings and bases (relieving knife 2806, crown 2061-T, base cap 2105, bead and quirk 3115-EP)
  • Custom Knives for Matching Profiles – custom crowns and inlay moldings

The Results

Since implementing the Williams & Hussey Molder, Adam has experienced several key benefits:

  • Customer Satisfaction – The ability to match existing profiles instead of requiring full replacements has earned him repeat business and satisfied clients.
