Timber Priming Machines
Once the construction of a timber product such as a log house or log furniture is done, the general assumption is that the whole job related to woodwork is finished. This assumption is totally wrong, as one of the most crucial step of giving timber products the essential and finished look is still lacking. Priming the structure once it is completed enhances the aesthetic beauty of the wood structure. A timber-priming machine comes handy for such kind of jobs.
According to the Webster's dictionary, "priming" is a term that means an act of making something ready. The first or preliminary coat of paint, colour, size, or the like, laid on canvas, on a building, or any other surface. The basic use of the timber-priming machine is exactly this. A timber-priming machine not only gives a polished look (or rather a polished touch) to the wooden article, but also keeps the natural candor of wood intact. Just as a constructed home looks incomplete unless its furnishing is done as properly as its construction; similarly, a wood house or any wooden article needs the same amount of attention to its priming as has been given to its construction.
Today's market place demands high quality finish of timber moldings. This necessitates the need for flexible and simple to operate coating machines, which can recycle and reuse the paint or stain that is not applied to the timber molding. All these features are kept in mind by the modern designers of timber priming machines, due to which modern priming machines can be very easily used by craftspeople, furniture makers, boat builders, woodworkers, and even normal homeowners.
A modern timber priming machine can be quickly set up to coat different sections and offers the operator little chance of incorrectly setting up the machine. The machine provides the user with a variety of coats such as flat coat, primer coat, priming coat and undercoat. The machines are designed in such a manner that they apply a perfectly even coating of oil or water based paints on the surface. They help in curtailing the stains and enhance the appearance of a variety of timber moldings. They could be applied to nearly all surfaces, such as MDF board, plain architrave or even the more complex sections available today. The timber-priming machine has certain tools that enable the operator to obtain the correct speed for the work in hand. In most of the machines rectangular templates are fitted which match the profile to be coated. No brushes or jets are used in the coating process. The machine takes a matter of minutes, with the minimum of operator skill required to produce a consistent high quality finish. The applied smooth coating possible on timber and MDF board can be quite stunning with no brush marks to mar the overall finish.
