Surface texturing apparatus

A surface texturing apparatus, comprising:

• an actuated tool holder including:
• a first actuator including a rotating disk having a first face, a second face, and an edge;
• a cutting tool mounted to the first face of the rotating disk at a radial distance from a center of the rotating disk, the radial distance defining a predetermined effective radius of the actuated tool holder;
• a second actuator;
• and
• a guide for positioning an article in relation to the surface texturing apparatus such that a surface of the article facing the cutting tool is at a predetermined mean distance from or overlap with the cutting tool,
• the first actuator is configured to draw the cutting tool across the surface of the article facing the cutting tool along an arcuate path having the predetermined effective radius, carving a groove into the surface of the article facing the cutting tool which replicates a circular saw milling mark of a circular saw blade having the predetermined effective radius;
• the surface of the article facing the cutting tool also faces the first face of the rotating disk;
• the second actuator is configured to modulate a distance between or overlap of the cutting tool and the surface of the article facing the cutting tool, and
• as the article is advanced along the surface texturing apparatus, the surface texturing apparatus is configured to carve a plurality of replicated circular saw milling marks into the surface of the article facing the cutting tool, replicating a circular saw milled texture in the surface of the article facing the cutting tool.
