Abstract

See full text

A veneer slicer comprises a reciprocating flitch table providing a mounting surface for a flitch, a knife and pressure bar assembly movable along a path normal to the mounting surface, top and bottom dogs for gripping the flitch and holding the flitch against a central portion of the mounting surface, an intermediate dog mounted on the flitch table in proximity to the central portion of the mounting surface, a projecting device for projecting the intermediate dog from a retracted position within the flitch table to a projected position a distance from the mounting surface, and a power system for moving the top and bottom dogs toward the central portion of the mounting surface to concurrently grip and hold two sections of the flitch against the mounting surface. The top and intermediate dogs grip opposite portions of one of the flitch sections, and the bottom and intermediate dogs grip opposite portions of the other flitch section. The projecting device includes a spring for yieldably biasing the intermediate dog toward either its retracted or projected position.
