EDGE FINISHED RESILIENT TILE, METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

Resilient tile within 0.005 inches of square and having sides within 0.005 inches of each other may be produced by positioning unfinished tile on a continuous belt. One edge adjacent the trailing edge of each tile is made to contact a stop means while the trailing edge is made to contact two independently adjustable dogs on the continuous belt. The tile is held down by hold-down rollers while the tile is so positioned. The two edges adjacent the trailing edge are edge finished, preferably by two cylindrical shaper routers. The tile is then positioned on a second continuous belt with one of the finished edges becoming the trailing edge and the remaining two edges being edge finished.
