APPARATUS FOR PEELING SMALL LOGS

摘要

"IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR PEELING SMALL LOGS" The apparatus allows logs to be peeled to smaller cores so as to increase veneer recovery, especially in operations where logs of ten inches or smaller prevail. The apparatus includes concentric dogs which embed in the ends of logs during peeling. The outer dog is retractable and the inner dog has a reduced shank portion which projects from an enlarged basal portion. The outer dog has a reduced diameter bore which supportingly engages the shank of the inner dog to give added strength and allow ultimate reduction in the diameter of the inner dog shank.
