Dwyer Lumber & Plywood Co. Enters Component Field

Entering the rapidly growing pre'cut component field, Dwyer Lumber & Plywood Company of Portland, has developed a machine lor rapid production of many types cf components used in home and commercial building. They are now {urnishing components to many builders in the Port' land area and is prepared to ship anywhere in the United States.

The machine difiers from most setups in that saws can be angled for any common angle cuts, and are rigidly held at a bearing point near the saw-{ace for a high degree of accuracy.

"There are other machines that do some of the same things we do, but we built our own machine for absolute rigidity and accuracy," said E. C. Dwyer, vice president. "Part of the secret is in the way the material is held. In most machines, the saws are stationary and the material is pushed past them. In our machine, the material is clamped in a fixed position and the saws cut through it."

f)wyer is able to pre-cut almost any type of member commonly employed in building-roof truss members, ceiling and floor joists, studs, sills, plates, panel members, and special stock. An example of the latter was an order for framing pieces to {orm an octagonal housing for a large pipe.

The company said that material to be pre-cut can be kiln-dried in the firm's own dry kilns, which contributes to greater stability and lighter shipping weights. Kilndried lumber retains its shape and dimen' sions better than green or air-dried.

They do not plan to get into pre-as-sernbly o{ components on a large scale, althorrgh it is doing so for the local market. On distant shipments, pre-assembly is usually not feasible because of the space required.

All components shipped from his plant will be strapped in convenient bundles and plainly marked as to type and size.
