Abstract:
A coping apparatus is provided to impart to the end portion of a molding. A contoured surface corresponding to the profile of the face surface of the molding. The coping apparatus includes a circular saw that is mounted on two sliding bases for freedom of movement in "X" "Y" directions. Beside the circular saw there is a support for a stylus used to control the positioning of the saw blade by traversing movement along the profile of a template. The template is supported on a stationary base underlying a table of which the end portion of the molding to be coped is supported.
Abstract:
A method and a device serve for cutting or slotting rigid material, in particular wood, having a modulus of elasticity of, preferably, approximately 50,000 to 400,000 kg/cm.sup.2. A gap of finite width is cut into the material by a narrow tool comprising cutting elements, in particular a circular saw blade, at a cutting speed of over 40 m/s. After passage of the cutting element a timber section is always lifted off the remainder of the material and bent out of the plane of the gap. In order to reduce the thermal loading of the tool, which is generated by the friction between the timber section and the tool, the timber section is always bent off in such a manner that once the timber section has left the cutting elements, it is spaced a certain distance from the circular saw blade.
Abstract:
A sawblade has teeth of a height corresponding to the thickness of the blade and chip spaces in the interstices between respective teeth opening into both sides of the blade; the bottoms of alternate chip spaces are inclined to opposite sides of the blade whereby the maximum depth of the chip spaces corresponds to a multiple of the height of the teeth.
Abstract:
A machine for perforating corrugated tubing at accurately spaced locations includes a double chain conveyor which positively engages the tubing and is driven intermittently to advance the tubing in steps of equal length. Upon completion of each step a pair of clamping members are actuated to engage the tubing, the clamping faces of the members being shaped so as to locate the tubing positively while it is stationary. When the tubing is so located, accurately positioned sets of cutters are brought into operation so as to cut slots or holes in the tubing at the desired locations. Upon completion of the cutting stroke, the clamping members are automatically released and the conveyor advances the tubing by another step. The sequence of operations in each cycle is controlled by limit switches responsive to the positions of the conveyor, the clamping means and the cutters. The cutters may be rotary saws or rotary drills.
Abstract:
A saw blade holder for a circular saw blade having a central aperture. The saw blade holder includes a base and a blade mount extending from the base. The blade mount includes threads. The blade mount is configured to be received in the central aperture of the circular saw blade. The saw blade holder further includes a retaining member including threads. The retaining member is removably coupled to the blade mount for retaining the circular saw blade on the blade mount.
