Veneer cutting machine with nose bar device

摘要

Nose bar device for a veneer lathe which is equipped with a knife carriage (13) movable toward and away from a log from which a veneer sheet is cut, and a knife (17) mounted on the knife carriage and having at the tip end thereof a cutting edge (17a) extending horizontally across the direction in which the knife carriage is moved. The lathe further includes a plurality of nose bars (21) juxtaposed along the cutting edge (17a) of the knife (17) and mounted to a block which forms a part of the knife carriage and adapted to be movable independently of the knife carriage. Each nose bar (21) has at the lower end thereof a pressure edge located adjacent to the cutting edge of the knife for pressing against the log periphery adjacent to the knife cutting edge. There is provided a mechanism for independently adjustable moving the pressure edge of at least one of the nose bars toward and away from the cutting edge of the knife. <IMAGE>
