June 2006 “Reinvestment pays off”
In a constant effort for continued improvement, John Rock Inc, retired Viking Turbo 505 #Six with a brand new state of art high production Turbo 505 nailing machine. Simultaneously, on our Brewer Saw-line #Four, we replaced the single arbor gang-saw with a new double arbor gang-saw with double the horsepower in addition we added a new high-speed automated board stacker with net effect of significantly increasing the throughput potential of the whole saw-line. Continual reinvestment has allowed us to achieve the highest production numbers possible. Some say we are crazy to replace equipment before it completely wears out, we believe our happy customers may think otherwise.
