This machine is intended to tenon box-stuff and for other purposes where a strong corner is required. Being automatic, it is capable of doing a large quantity of work, with no effort on the part of the operator, except to place the stuff on the carrier and clamp it; then, by pressing the foot on the treadle, the pieces are fed through the cutters and returned again finished on one end. The stuff can then be turned over and the opposite ends finished in the same way, thus completing the work on a number of pieces without removing them from the machine. By doing a quantity of stuff in one operation, the work is done faster and much better, as no fringe is left on the tenons, from the fact that the cutters pass through a solid mass of wood; the last piece being against a soft metal chip-breaker, comes out clean and free from fringe,
The machine is simple, compact and durable, the frame being one solid casting without joints or bolts. The table can be adjusted with a screw for any length of tenon required, thus insuring accurate work. The Connel & Dengler Machine Co., Rochester, N. Y. makes it. |
