Secondary Operations

Secondary operations help prepare wood components for final use, saving time during assembly and improving part functionality. These processes ensure that turned or machined wood products meet exact specifications.

We offer a comprehensive range of secondary operations to enhance and customize wood products.

Common Secondary Operations We Offer

Chamfered wood components showcasing precision machining, available for custom manufacturing and bulk production.

Chamfer

Creating beveled edges for improved aesthetics & functionality. Commonly used in tool handles, knobs, dowel ends, and more.

Custom wooden component with a countersunk hole, showcasing precision manufacturing for bulk production.

Countersink

Drilling conical holes to allow screws or bolts to sit flush with or below the surface. Common in jigs, fixtures, and components that need clean fastener integration.

Crossbored wooden component showcasing precision drilling for bulk production.

Crossbore

Drilling intersecting holes for complex assembly requirements. Ideal for chair legs, mallets, and assembly-driven parts requiring strong cross-joint anchoring.

End-bored wooden components with precision drilling, customized for bulk manufacturing and high-volume production.

Endbore Drilled

Drilling precise holes at the ends for joinery or hardware insertion. Frequently used for threaded inserts, joinery pegs, or connecting rods.

Custom pointed wood components manufactured with precision for bulk orders and high-volume production.

Pointing

Shaping into a pointed form for specific applications. Common for skewers, plant stakes, flagpoles, or products that need to be inserted into the ground or another surface.

Custom wood components with precision metal threading for bulk manufacturing and industrial applications.

Metal Threading

Incorporating metal threads for secure fastening. Used in handles, knobs, or tools that need removable or adjustable components.

Close-up of custom rounded wood components, precisely machined for bulk production in high-volume manufacturing.

Rounded

Smoothing edges or surfaces to achieve a rounded profile. Often applied to handles, batons, or other components for comfort and appearance.

Custom-manufactured wooden component with precision slotted cuts for bulk production.

Slotted

Cutting slots or grooves for assembly or design purposes. Used in display components, tool handle assemblies, and joint hardware.

Custom tapered wood components designed for bulk manufacturing and precision woodworking applications.

Taper

Gradually reducing the thickness or width. Common in broom handles, shovel shafts, and other parts.

Custom wood components with precision tenon joinery for bulk manufacturing and large-scale production.

Tenon

Forming projecting end parts (tenons) for insertion into corresponding mortises in joinery. Frequently used in wooden columns, balusters, and furniture frameworks.

Wood Threading

Creating threaded sections directly for assembly without metal inserts. Used in knobs, custom fasteners, and wood-to-wood mechanical parts.

When Are Secondary Operations Needed?

When you need to eliminate post-processing during your assembly

To ensure precision fit, threading, or control

If you need to integrate wood parts with metal or hardware components

To reduce labor time in high-volume production
