CIRCULATING PADDLE POSITIONING FENCE WITH FLEXIBLE TRACK

摘要

A board positioning device is for optimally longitudinally positioning a boa rd for trimming. A board while translating towards trimming saws, is aligned longitudinally so as to position the board relative to the saws. The board is urged against a corresponding board positioning member on the board positioning device. A selectively actuable first flexible guide member is mounted or adjacent to, a downstream end of a rigid fence. The flexible guide member is selectively actuated to form a curved guide. The curved path for followin g by the board positioning member is correspondingly curved to correspond to an optimized craved form of the guide A flexible rotatable member rotates in a vertical plane so as to translate the board positioning member substantially in a horizontal plane when cooperatively aligned with t he board.
