TORONTO — Gibbs Group North America will highlight the Tregarne Woodwelder at the Woodworking Machinery & Supply Conference and Expo.

The Woodwelder is a portable radio frequency machine generator weighing 150 lbs. that produces radio waves, via a pair of triode valves. The RF is then modified to 27 megahertz and passed down the coaxial cable to the handgun. The electrodes on the handgun are placed across the glue line. When the trigger on the handgun is activated, the radio waves pass into the glue line. The radio waves vibrate the water molecules in the glue, causing heat and the heat sets off the glue, all completed in 15 seconds or less. (See video below.)

Gibbs will also display the C-1000 cup brush sander from Gibbs-Sandtech. The cup brush sander, manufactured in Great Britain, is designed and engineered to perform delicate sealer sanding as well as general sanding tasks. 

Machine features include:

• 360-degree brush sanding technology
• Easy brush and abrasive replacement
• Easy operation with touch screen control display, including six customizable programs for easy and fast change-over
• Automatic cleaning function, leaving the doors dust free and ready for the finishing room
• Various sizes of machines to fit any size shop's needs

Gibbs Group NA offers complimentary products for any size cabinet shop including spray tables and drying racks available in different sizes and configurations.
