Description: |
"This invention relates to an improvement in that class of boring-machines used for the purpose of forming tapering holes that enlarge as they increase in depth, thus giving a dovetailed section, which is of great utility in the operation commonly known as 'doweling', which consists in the uniting of two or more pieces of wood by pins that enter a part of their length into each piece. In order to make a stronger joint, these are frequently provided with wedges in each end, which expand that part of the pin and causes it to retain a much strong hold upon the parts which it unites." |
