Combination planar molder

摘要

This invention relates to a combination planar molder for wood products. A support framework mounts a removable shaft for mounting either a planing knife or a molding bit. The shaft is mounted in bearing means at least one of which is pivotal about its housing so as to permit the shaft to be raised and lowered at an angle and slipped laterally for insertion and removal. This allows one shaft to be utilized for the planing head and a separate shaft to be utilized for a molding head. This eliminates time consuming balancing of the shaft as a result of changing a conventional planing head into a molding head.
