A machine for guiding numerically controlled supports for tools used for various woodworking operations, such as boring, milling and the like, for improving the relationship between the time for positioning the workpiece and for processing the workpiece includes a base on which frame supports mount guidance supports. Tool support guides are mounted on the guidance supports for movement in two directions extending perpendicularly of one another. Conveying members including retaining members extend along the guidance supports for moving workpieces through the machine. Tool support guides are located on the guidance supports for displacement in the two different directions of movement. Upper and lower tool supports are positioned on the tool support guides along with gripping members. Using this combination of components, the speed of movement of the workpiece can be synchronized with the processing time for the workpiece. Further, using one edge of the workpiece as a reference line the coordination of movement and processing can be effected. |
