The WMTRP has been fortunate to receive several major equipment donations the last two years.  This includes a CNC router from Accu-Router.  This router is considered one of the fastest routers commercially available.  This complements the previous donation from Thermwood of one of the most versatile routers available (see facilities and capabilities).

 Another donation that will be of benefit to the WMTRP and the Wood Science

 Program is acquisition of a state-of-the-art wide belt sander from Costa.  This

 sander will be of great benefit to the abrasive machining research of the

 WMTRP.

 These two recent acquisitions mean that in just the last several years the Hodges

 Wood Products Laboratory in which the WMTRP is housed has been the

 beneficiary of donations and improvements totaling over a million dollars.
