Darcy Duggan instructs participants on the WEINIG Rondamat 960 grinder.
More than a dozen woodworkers took advantage of moulder and grinder training offered at Taurus Craco Woodworking Machinery Inc. recently.
The company organized two WEINIG moulder and grinder training seminars at its offices and showroom in Brampton, Ont.
The 2 ½-day courses, which were delivered by Darcy Duggan, a certified and factory-trained WEINIG technician, were designed to enhance all aspects of grinder and moulder set-up.
Each seminar ran for 2 1/2 days the week of June 10.
