It is described best by a customer: "…after installing your HSEM-C EndMaster and operating it at 225 lugs per minute….we saw within two weeks that our Waco sidematcher could not keep up. We purchased your Hasko MatchMaster™ with the StripMaster™ pre-surfacer and increased production by 18% after only our first month of production. Everything we have been told about the MatchMaster™ is true. It will run more flooring and make better flooring than anything I know of!" …Doug Fikes, Buchanan Hardwood Flooring, Aliceville, Alabama.
