摘要

A veneer lathe for turning a log thereon to cut off veneer sheets therefrom. The log is principally driven by a rotary roller having a plurality of projections therearound, which roller is pressed against the log to ensure positive engagement with the periphery thereof. The log is formed with a center bore at a core portion thereof. A spindle to support the log is inserted into the center bore to prevent the log deflection due to the pressure from the rotary roller. Another form of this veneer lathe is additionally provided with a center bore forming mechanism together with a centering mechanism for the boring operation such that a center bore is formed in the log in advance before being turned on the veneer lathe.
