It all started with Hubert running a sawmill near Delta, PA. It is where he had an ideal, and moved forward from ideal top concept.
What Was The First Product Created?
The Montgomery Tong Dog was the first product created and patented. The desire to create something that would simplify the labor, and in turn improve productivity. This was the concept then, and it is still the basic fundamental that goes into everything produced.
Hubert actually received a patent for his tong dog design, with a built in tapering knee that was variable up to 4″. From there an interchange with Frick Sawmill Company happened that began the history of Montgomery Sawmill Equipment.
After the Tong Dog Patent
After the dogging system the air setworks was tackled. Creating a simple straight forward design with less mechanical pieces to wear and break. Again it worked wonders over existing manufacturers at the time.
From there it went on to Hydraulic feeds, Sawyers cabs, and other Support Equipment. Support equipment is the stuff that “supports” The carriage. Until the complete sawmill was able to be made. Then we had increased to what we call the FR series carriages today.
Now we have an SL, FR, WB and HD carriage sizes. BUt the original FR series works for 70% or more of sawmillers today.
