Abstract:
Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system comprising tongue and grooves provided with protrusions and cavities which are displaceable in relation to each other and configured such that the protrusions can obtain a vertically unlocked position where they match the cavities and a vertically locked position where the protrusions overlap each other.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a horizontal loading platform on an upper part of a base frame in order to horizontally load a wood panel and comprises a spindle mounting platform to which is attached, in horizontally rotatable fashion, a spindle adapted to mount a processing bit at the front side of the base frame, wherein the spindle mounting platform is transferred at least in the vertical direction and the left-to-right horizontal direction so as to process the wood panel.

Abstract:
A woodworking joint cutting jig and method having a template repositionably attachable to a base in a plurality of alternative positions established by receiving a pin on one of the base or template in one of a plurality of holes on the other of the template and the base.
Abstract:
A guitar neck joint routing system. The system includes a probe and router assembly comprising a gantry, a probe, and a plurality of routers, and a guitar neck and body nest comprising clamps and vacuum grips for holding a guitar neck and guitar body in place for taking measurements and routing a dovetail joint.

Abstract:
A wood working machine is described that includes a mounting plate assembly for supporting a cutting tool, the mounting plate assembly including a base plate, first and second spaced apart intermediate plates on the base plate, and first and second guide plate elements pivotally supported on respective first and second intermediate plates, and a cutting tool support plate slidably disposed between the first and second guide plate elements, the guide plate elements including means defined therein for positioning each of the guide plate elements at selected angular intervals with respect to the respective first and second intermediate plates, whereby the cutting tool support plate is slidably movable on the base plate between the guide plate elements at a prescribed angle. The mounting plate assembly may include laser sources providing crossed laser beams for accurately positioning the tool bit of the cutting tool near a work piece, and light sources for illuminating the tool bit. A digital sensor may be included for precise positioning of the work piece held beneath the base plate on a movable carrier. Work holding fixtures such as a mortising plate or multiangle work holder may be optionally attached to the moveable carrier to hold the work piece in alternative ways.
Abstract:
A log processing machine and associate method employs one or more log guides to make joinery cuts in a processed log which has at opposed edges of the processed log the raw log's natural external contour. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each log guide includes a straight edge and is attached to the processed log to create an artificial straight edge for guiding the processed log through the joinery machine. Prior to attachment, centerlines are marked on the log guide and the processed log, and the centerlines are aligned when the log guide is attached to the processed log. The processed log, with the log guide attached, is then moved through the machine with the aid of computer control while the straight edge of the log guide follows a fence. In this manner, the position of the processed log and its centerline are always known so that the computer can make the programmed joinery cuts with high precision. An alternate embodiment of the invention employs one or more fence extensions as log guides. The fence extensions are positionable in guide channels formed in the contoured edges of the processed log. A further embodiment of the invention employs an opposed pair of clamping/alignment elements which are controlled by a computer to align and guide the log through the joinery machine.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an apparatus for allowing the operator of a plunge router to make accurate mortising or doweling cuts in a workpiece and more particularly to allow dowel holes or mortises to be executed in pieces of wood which are to be secured together. The apparatus comprises a base plate having adjustable lateral guides flanking an opening in the base for allowing the passage of a router bit. Removably securable to the base plate is a reversible member or gate including adjustable end guides such that removal and reversal of the gate member permits the user to perform an identical mirror image operation on the second of two workpieces to be matched.
