Abstract:
A device for fastening a chisel to a rotatable chisel block of a wood working machine by means of a clamping bolt engaging a fastening slot in the chisel block, the shank of said bolt extending through an elongated hole in the chisel and by means of a clamping plate holding the chisel and having a transverse extension supporting set screws which engage a rearwardly diverging safety face of the chisel wherein the transverse extension has safety cams engaging recesses in the fastening slot so that the transverse extension is locked in place in a radial direction.
Abstract:
A cutter head the entire cutting width of which is divided into a few parallel cutting strips defined by respective sets of cutting knives. The diameters of the cutting circles of the knives of the different sets increase stepwise in the direction away from the log. The angle of inclinaton of the main cutting edge of the knives in relation to the axis rotation of the cutter head is large in the case of the knives defining the cutting strips placed closest to the log and small in the case of the knives defining the cutting strips placed more distant from the log.
Abstract:
A chipper comprises a rotor with a plurality of knives adapted to slab off the side of a log so that the first saw cut following the chipper removes a usable board. In order to make usable pulp chips, the chipper knives are of bent configuration each having a grain cutting portion which cuts across the grain and a planing portion which cuts parallel with the grain to leave a smooth board surface on the log as it is moved lengthwise past the chipper on a saw carriage. Each knife is clamped rigidly in working position by a cambered clamp plate which is pivoted into clamped position in a manner causing it to flatten against substantially the whole area of the knife. A backing bar and wedge assembly provides fine adjustment for the knife.
Abstract:
A stump cutting machine includes a rotatable cutter disc having a plurality of cutter tools on opposite sides thereof, and each of the tools includes a bit holder having half sections for clamping the shank of a bit therebetween in aligned slots formed in the mating clamping faces of the half sections. The channel-shaped slots extend at an angle to the cutter disc and to the clamping faces of the half sections and thus position the bit at an angle to the cutter disc. The bit holder may be turned between two positions 180.degree. apart, and the bit will extend outwardly relative to the disc and inwardly relative to the disc in the other position. A pair of bolts extend through the holder half sections in the disc to connect the two holders on the disc on opposite sides thereof. The effective depth of the slot is less than the thickness of the bit shank to insure clamping action by the bottom walls of the slot when the half sections are drawn tightly together by the bolts.
Abstract:
A rotary chipping head assembly having a rotatable head member provided with a peripheral V-shaped seat having planar walls extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the head member and which fittedly receives a chipping knife the root section of which has flat faces which engage the flat walls of the V-shaped seat. A clamp secured to the head member bears against the root section to maintain the knife in the seat. One of the flat faces of the root section of the knife has a parallel sided key way extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the head which receives the head of a bolt, the shank of which rotatably fits in a bore opening out of the confronting wall of the V-shaped seat. The bolt head, which serves as a key to prevent lateral displacement of the chipping knife, is in the form of a regular polygon having an even number of side faces and has its geometric center offset from the axis of the shank so as to enable lateral adjustment of the chipping knife.
Abstract:
A rotary cutting tool for cutting material surfaces such as wood or metal. The cutting edges comprise a plurality of replaceable inserts held in place by an improved clamping mechanism. In an extended length version such as would be used for finishing a wide surface, a plurality of straight inserts are mounted side by side in an approximation of a helical pattern.
Abstract:
The chipper comprises a rotor with a plurality of knives adapted to slab off the side of a log so that the first saw cut following the chipper removes a usable board. In order to make usable pulp chips, the chipper knives are of bent configuration, each having a grain cutting portion which cuts across the grain and a planing portion which cuts parallel with the grain to leave a smooth board surface on the log as it is moved lengthwise past the chipper on a saw carriage. Each knife is clamped rigidly in working position by a clamp plate which is tightened on a pair of wedges adjacent the side edges of the knife. The clamp plate is crowned, causing it to flatten against substantially the whole area of the knife when the clamp plate is tightened on the wedges.
Abstract:
A rotary cutter wherein a blade is removable from the body of the cutter when an edge of the blade is to be sharpened. A positioning member is adjustably connected with the blade member, so that the relative positions of the blade and positioning members can be adjusted so as to situate the cutting edge of the blade at a proper location with respect to the positioning member. The cutter body has a locating part which locates the positioning member at a predetermined position on the cutter body, so that in this way when the parts are assembled with the positioning member situated at the predetermined location on the cutter body, the blade will automatically assume its proper cutting position at the cutter body.
Abstract:
Apparatus for adjusting a blade of a rotary cutter. The blade is removable from the body of the cutter when an edge of the blade is sharpened. A positioning member is adjustably connected with the blade member, and a gauge is provided for adjusting the positions of the blade member and positioning member one with respect to the other while they are still separate from the cutter body so that the relative positions of the blade and positioning members will situate the cutting edge of the blade at the proper location with respect to the positioning member. The cutter body has a locating part which locates the positioning member at a predetermined location on the cutter body, so that in this way when the parts are reassembled with the positioning member situated at this predetermined location, the blade will automatically assume its proper cutting position at the cutter body.
