Available HMJ Options

The HMJ is a CNC haunch machine for beaded face frame production, cutting haunch joints on stiles and rails with servo-driven precision. The joints come out self-aligning, which simplifies assembly and reduces handling errors. Two parts can be stacked for simultaneous cutting, doubling output without adding operators.

Automatic Oiler System
Includes a pneumatic automatic oiler that delivers oil-lubricated compressed air to key linear bearings (X‑axis, drill‑spindle, groove‑spindle) whenever the spindle runs. Helps prevent dust-related wear. Note: may affect lead time.

Fixed‑Mount Barcode Reader
Enables operators to scan barcodes on parts to automatically load the correct program via the included software. Comes with one fixed reader. Note: may affect lead time
