Machine for cutting logs to form log joints

摘要

A machine for cutting logs to provide a dovetail log joint is provided with a number of saw legs which are slidably mounted on carriages, some of which are movable in order to adjust the angle of inclination of the saw blades. This machine permits dovetail tenons to be formed at either end of a log to provide both inside and outside corner joints. All of the necessary cuts can be effected while the log is held in a fixed position, it is only necessary to move the log longitudinally of itself in order to form the tenons at opposite ends. C-clamps are also provided for applying pressure to the log joint during assembly of the joint.
