In the Knapp dovetailing-machine (Fig. 1) the work done is not strictly dovetailing in the sense of flaring-pins engaging any mortises of similar outline, but the general effect as regards utility is the same, and the work is more ornamental and more rapidly and easily done. The so-called dovetails that it makes for drawer fronts and sides are produced by working on the end of the front a series of semi-annular grooves, leaving standing in their centers a series of cylindrical tenons. The end of the drawer-side is worked away into a series of semicircular scallops, in the center of each of which there is a cylindrical hole; and the side being driven on to the front, pulling the latter away from the former is prevented by the cylindrical pins. |
