Description: |
| "This invention relates to rotary planers, and more especially to a form of planer adapted to plane or face the surface of blocks or slabs of wood or the like. The particular embodiment to be described is designed especially for facing and smoothing blocks used in dying out leather for shoe parts..." Dying out leather" refers to the die-cutting of leather pieces using a steel die. The block underneath the die received a lot of wear and needed to be replaced frequently, hence the need for a die block planer.This planer is essentially a Daniels-style planer (see patent 8,548X) but adapted for this specialized use. In addition, improvements were made for safety and for improved dust collection.An example of this patent planer was seen on eBay in October 2005. |
