The Facilities Management Cabinet Shop recently received a Blum Pneumatic Minipress designed to bore holes for Blum press-in hardware, especially hinges.
According to NDSU cabinetmakers Mike Tracy and Jim Osland, the new shop addition will speed production, reduce costs and improve the quality of their product, while allowing a full range of door adjustment. The equipment is valued at $3,000.
The acquisition was a collaborative effort between Rob Davis, Central Stores, F.M. Cabinet Shop and Patrick Stockinger with Hardware Distributors LTD of Sauk Rapids, Minn.
The minipress is on permanent loan to NDSU from HDL.
