The legacy of the Eide name runs deep. Established in 1927, Eide Saw Company was a saw blade repair and supply company in the heart of Minneapolis’ milling and lumbering industry. Over the past 96 years, however, we have grown and expanded to keep pace with the ever-changing woodworking and fabricating industries. [For all images, See PDF or View in Full Issue.]
In 1961, Eide Saw Company expanded from sharpening blades to power tools and became a top distributor of DeWalt. Always a service-oriented company, how and who Eide served changed with the times and the industry. Eide evolved into machinery supply for building components, with the first truss and assembly equipment – Lumbermate Connector plates. In 1985, Eide moved away from the general woodworking industry and focused on the building component industry. Eide Saw Company became Eide Machinery Sales, Inc. The shop expanded to rebuild and customize machinery, tables, and installations.
In 1999, Eide moved to its current location. Over the years, we’ve added distribution and manufacturing of the innovative WizardPDS® and ProCut systems. Our lines of equipment include those of many top manufacturers of the United States, along with quality lines of foreign machinery.
What’s more, we’re committed to helping you build on your company’s legacy. Our Universal™ tables allow you to expand any existing or discontinued line with WizardPDS®-ready tables. Eide’s upgrade and reconditioning services for Legacy gantries and material handling systems add years of life to older or discontinued lines. Our tables are adaptable to your situation and your needs, so that you can improve your production your way.
And why should you upgrade to the WizardPDS® Automated Perimeter Definition System? Because WizardPDS® delivers the speed and precision that will benefit any assembly line. In fact, it is used with more new and existing truss table brands than all other systems combined.
Whether new or existing tables, your entire table or a dedicated section to capture the bulk of your schedule, WizardPDS® automation can set the pace of the table – not a little manual jigging at the bottom/top chord or every-other slot. Automation is a big deal with the promise of a great return – why wouldn’t you want to automate with the truly revolutionary and 100% automated jigging system that sets the bar for all truss-table automation?
The WizardPDS® remains the industry leader and only 100% automated jigging system for your assembly line. A WizardPDS® ChannelS® retrofit is the best investment you can make to improve the efficiency of your line. WizardPDS® continues to lead with innovative automation solutions for roof truss production. It is the single greatest investment you can make to your assembly line ... and your bottom line.
