Woodworking Equipment - Track Pads, Friction Pads, and Chain Friction Pads

As a custom rubber manufacturer we have worked with woodworkers worldwide in tweaking and improving original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.  With an in-house compounding facility and working closely with a precision tool shop we can customize parts to your exacting needs.

Some examples of our successes include track pads for the Celaschi Double-Ended Tenoner, a sample of which are shown below.

Through dialogue with our customers we provided prototype friction pads in a variety of materials to test durability, non-marking qualities and friction. We also have tailored the surface pattern from smooth to ribbed to fingered to enhance or lessen friction. In all cases we were able to provide a rubber coating on the track pads to meet the customer's needs. Further we exceeded their expectations by saving them money! Chain Track Pad Case Study

Like our roller recoating business (Roll Covering & Refurbishing) we are able to take worn friction pads and strip off the old rubber leaving a perfectly reusable base upon which to provide a new rubber coating. With an OEM's part you typically purchase an entire new part complete with new rubber and a new base. Eliminating the base cost and paying only for the rubber can be substantial, especially with ever increasing metal prices.
