Commonly asked questions about milling
Do we mill timber from all origins?
We only mill, dress, rip or dock fresh timber supplied by Canterbury Timber.
We will not process timber supplied by customers as:
- we are uncertain of its origin and there can be no certainty it can be replaced if damaged; and
- it may contain foreign bodies (nails, bolts etc.) which may damage the machinery, prematurely blunt cutting blades or injure customers and staff.
What species do we mill?
The significant majority of timber milled is pine. Where the timber will be painted, we may use F/J milling blanks, clear grade or select DAR boards depending on the customer’s intended use.
We also mill other species inlcuding Blackbutt, Meranti, Merbau, Spotted Gum, Victorian Ash as well as all flooring and decking species depending on the customer’s intended use and requirements.
Do we charge for docking?
Generally, we dock (crosscut) to length free of charge for small quantities. A charge may be applied for large docking volumes or for precision cross cutting to length.
Can we do other milling and related services?
We also laminate, pencil round, bull nose, bevel, chamfer.
Through Heritage Profiles we can match existing or customise milling profile. Heritage carries more than 3500 existing profile cutters. For custom profiles, Heritage fabricates cutters.
