Abstract
A method of making core board product may be under the control of a processing unit. A first tubular core may be dispensed to a conveying portion to support the first tubular core at an interim location. The first tubular core may be conveyed to a flattening position under pressure of a compression member. The first tubular core is substantially compressed between the compression member and a flattening surface. The steps of dispensing, conveying, compressing may be repeated for at least a second tubular core. The second tubular is substantially compressing core against the first tubular core. The substantially compressed first tubular core and second tubular core may be fastened together in an abutting relationship with a plurality of fastening members so as to form the core board product.
