Pillar MMTJ: 3-Axis CNC Miter Machine for Cabinet Door Excellence
The MMTJ is a full 3-axis CNC miter machine for high-volume cabinet door production, cutting mitered mortise-and-tenon joints at 200-275 doors per 8-hour shift with one operator. Servo-driven rack-and-pinion (X) and ball screw (Y, Z) axes control all three cutting operations. A 2024 slim shaker upgrade extends minimum part width to 1/2". Winner of the 2004 IWF Challengers Award.
