About Harris Hardwoods, Inc.
Gang saw operators are on the cutting edge - literally! Working at the front of the saw, gang saw operators do the first cutting - a width cutting generally referred to as ripping (or sometimes 'edging'.) Ripping is the first stage of any customer order and begins the manufacturing process.
Gang saw assistants work at the back of the saw along the sorting table. They sort and stack the ripped lumber by width and species, and ensure proper quantity and quality. "Tailers" as they are called, keep ripped stock neat and organized to facilitate manufacturing downstream.
Chop saw operators are also on the cutting edge - of technology that is! They program state-of-the-industry optimizing cross-cut chop saws to scan, cut, and sort lumber by fixed length and random length. They mark lumber for imperfections which are then scanned and removed, ensuring a clear board and high yield.
Chop saw assistants, like gang saw assistants, are also called "tailers". They sort and stack the chopped lumber pieces by lengths and track production metrics. They will often assist the operators with marking lumber for scanning and cutting.Moulder Department Roles:
Moulder Operators are responsible for creating those signature cabinet mouldings and components. They define true craftsmanship.
Moulder Assistants are committed to providing the moulder operators with ongoing support and assistance. Like the rough mill "tailers", they keep the manufacturing process moving!
Tool Room Specialists fill a vital need by ensuring our manufacturing teams have the proper tooling - knives, heads, blades, etc., to get the job done right!

We work with other industries as well and often partner with home builders, architects and designers, RV manufacturers, millwork distributors, and more.
