This machine is something new, and is designed for doing a great variety of work, such as sticking sash, sticking mouldings of any shape, raising panels, planing blind shades and rounding the edges at the same time with the grain of the wood, grooving door stiles, or rails, and jointing the edge at the same time, &c. It is built entirely of iron and steel, the cutter shafts all cast steel, consequently stands with more firmness than any wooden machine. The frame is cast in a single piece, so that it must always remain true, and the table is gibbed on to the frame, so as to be firm, and moved up or down by a single screw, with crank. It is altered without set screws to set up every time, thus saving time in adjustment. This machine is intended, if desired, to plane three sides at a time, having three rotary cutter heads, one above the table, like a sash machine, which lays horizontal, and two upright ones, by the sides of the table, which are so connected that one of them may be moved up or down, out or in, with screw and crank, according to the work to be done, and at the option of the operator. A diploma awarded. |
