1. A woodworking machine for shaping a molding, comprising:
a frame;
a shuttle mounted on the frame;
a spaced apart pair of robotic grippers mounted on the shuttle, the grippers being adapted for gripping and releasing an elongated blank strip of molding;
a hollow, cylindrical cartridge having opposing end caps, the end caps having openings defined therein dimensioned and configured for supporting the blank strip of molding when the molding is inserted through the cartridge, the cartridge being rotatably mounted on the frame;
a table mounted on the frame, the table being movable both vertically and laterally relative to the cartridge;
a cutter assembly having a plurality of cutters, the cutter assembly being mounted on the table, the table and cutter assembly being movable so that the cutters are positioned to cut through the cartridge and the blank strip of molding when the molding is inserted through the cartridge; and
an electronic control system having means for cyclically actuating the robotic grippers to grip the blank strip of molding, move the shuttle and robotic grippers to advance the molding through the cartridge in indexed increments, actuate the cutter assembly to rotate the cutters, move the table and cutter assembly so that the cutters engage the cartridge and the blank strip of molding within the cartridge to form simultaneous, spaced apart cuts in the blank strip, retract the table and cutter assembly from the cartridge, and repeat the cycle.

5. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, wherein the openings formed through the end caps of the hollow, cylindrical cartridge define an entry opening and an exit opening, the walls of the end cap defining the entry opening being beveled.
6. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, further comprising an air bag disposed within said hollow, cylindrical cartridge for releasably securing the blank strip of molding therein.
7. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 6, further comprising means for selectively inflating and deflating the air bag, the means being in electrical communication with said electronic control system.
8. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 7, wherein the means for selectively inflating and deflating the air bag comprises an air compressor and a vacuum pump.
9. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 8, wherein an inlet port is formed through a housing of said hollow, cylindrical cartridge, the inlet port being in fluid communication with the air bag, the air compressor and the vacuum pump.
10. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, further comprising a cartridge holder bracket mounted on said frame for releasably and rotatably supporting said cartridge.
11. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, wherein spacing between adjacent ones of the plurality of cutters is user-selectable and adjustable.
12. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, wherein said cartridge is formed from plastic.
13. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, further comprising a pair of spaced apart secondary grippers mounted on said shuttle, said spaced apart pair of robotic grippers and the pair of spaced apart secondary grippers being positioned adjacent opposite ends of said hollow, cylindrical cartridge, the pair of spaced apart secondary grippers being adapted for removing the molding from the hollow, cylindrical cartridge.
14. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, further comprising a pneumatic arm mounted to said frame, the pneumatic arm driving rotation of said cartridge.
15. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 14, further comprising means for selectively driving the pneumatic arm, the means being in electrical communication with said electronic control system.
16. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 15, further comprising a pneumatic connector bracket attached to said cartridge and a proximal end of the pneumatic arm, the pneumatic connector bracket joining said cartridge to the proximal end of the pneumatic arm.
17. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, further comprising means for selectively driving movement of said table, the driving means being in electrical communication with said electronic control system.
18. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 17, wherein the means for selectively driving movement of said table comprises a hydraulic drive system.
19. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, wherein said cutter assembly further comprises:
a spindle, the plurality of cutters being mounted on the spindle;
a headstock assembly; and
a tailstock assembly, the spindle having opposite ends mounted to the headstock and tailstock assemblies, respectively, the plurality of cutters being positioned therebetween.
20. The woodworking machine as recited in claim 1, further comprising a hydraulic cushion mounted to said frame for stabilizing and aligning said spaced apart pair of robotic grippers.
