Description: |
| M. Powis Bales' influential book, "Woodworking Machinery: Its Rise, Progress, and Construction", says, in a section on veneer-cutting machines, "...Mr. L. R. (sic) Hawes, of the United States, patented several improvements in machinery for veneer-cutting. The knife which cuts the veneer, contrary to the general practice, is made stationary, and the wood cramped in a sliding frame, which is arranged with a vertical reciprocating motion, oscillating slightly longitudinally at the same time, which is found to give a cleanness to the cut. A veneer is cut at each downward stroke of the knife, which is then drawn clear of the wood during its upward stroke, when it resumes its original position for another cut. All these motions are self-acting, and it is calculated to cut from 40 to 60 square feet per minute in almost any kind of wood usually employed for veneering..." |
