Spindle Moulder

​

The moulder was created at the end of 1800 to produce profiles, such as the ones for frames, that were once created by hand with particular smoothing planes fitted with shaped tools.

Today the same result can be achieved with a moulder for machining wood. The machine is fitted with tools called cutters that project outwards and rotate quickly, to remove a part of wood from a square element, giving it the desired profile.
