Low profile hardwood flooring strip and method of manufacture

A method of producing a hardwood flooring product, including the steps of processing a strip of raw wood into a blank having a predetermined thickness and width, and top and bottom surfaces defining parallel planes relative to each other, and splitting the blank along the width of the blank from one side to the other to form two low profile flooring strips having the same width as the blank and a thickness less than one-half the thickness of the blank. The splitting step includes the steps of providing first and second circular saw blades mounted on spaced-apart vertical axes for rotation in a single plane intermediate and parallel to the planes of the top and bottom surfaces of the blank and positioning the blank on conveying means upstream from the saw blades with the plane of rotation of the saw blades intermediate and parallel to the planes of the top and bottom surfaces of the blank for movement of the blank from an upstream position to a downstream position relative to the saw blades. The blank is moved downstream into the plane of rotation of the saw blades during rotation of the saw blades thereby horizontally splitting the blank to form first and second low-profile flooring strips. Interlocking members, such as molded, mating tongue and groove members, are molded into first and second longitudinally-extending side edges of the flooring strips for securing together the flooring strips when placed side-to-side to form a floor.

Jig system for positioning the placement of multiple cuts in a workpiece

The present invention is a jig system for precisely positioning the placement of multiple cuts such as in the placement of dovetail or box joints cut in a wood panel. A row of multi-use adjustable spacers controls the indexing of a workpiece and can be used with a stationary and/or a portable cutting tool. The movability of the spacers permits a workpiece to be cut on both sides of a guide bar fence thereby assuring that the first cut will always be made on the same side of a drawer and will be esthetically pleasing regardless of the width of the workpiece. Additionally, the adjustability of the spacers accommodates any desired cutting tool height, angle and/or size. The jig system comprises: a stationary fixture; a spacer bar; a plurality of spacers engaged with the spacer bar, the spacers are adapted for lateral and rotational movement along the spacer bar thereby providing an engaged and non-engaged working mode; a sliding member adapted for lateral movement on the stationary fixture and for engaging at least one of the spacers in the engaged working mode; and means for holding the spacer bar and connecting the spacer bar to the stationary fixture while engaging with at least one of the spacers during the engaged working mode.

Apparatus for forming dovetail, box and related joints

A jig used to support and guide a router has a support base to which the workpiece is clamped as well as a moveable template containing guiding surfaces for a router. The template is attached to the support base via an elongated support channel. The support channel is permanently attached to the support base and captures two square nuts used to clamp the template to said channel while cutting but allowing the template to be loosened and repositioned between cuts. A bar clamped to the underside of the template is pressed against the channel to align both in parallel and, by virtue of being attached to the template via angled slots, can be used to adjust the position of guiding surfaces in the template relative to the workpiece. The template has a variety of slots and cutouts whose sides guide the router in the making of specific cuts for dovetail, box and related joints. The template is indexed from one cutting position to another by means of a ratchet or equivalent which engages the teeth of a saw tooth rack. The pitch or distance between teeth is precise and carefully chosen in regard to a variety of factors. The jig essentially cuts tails or pins one at a time. Its adjustable nature allows wide variation in joint design including the size and spacing of joint elements.

Woodworking machinery stop and track system

A woodworking machinery jig and fixture system has a stop with a half-dovetail surface and can be provided with one or more T-slots. The half-dovetail surface can be clamped against a half-dovetail surface on the support, or against a flat surface. In one of the stops, the base has multiple through holes, any one of which can be used to mount a flip stop arm so as to vary the height of the arm or use a zero clearance fence. A track for the system has a flange that helps locate the track along the rear corner of a wood fence and also helps secure the track to the wood fence with fasteners through holes that can be drilled in the flange using a drill guide groove formed in the flange. Tension screws are provided in the stop and in the base for eliminating play between the hinge pin, the flip stop and the base. A lens is received in a groove of the stop arm and extends therefrom in position to view a ruler that is mounted on top of the support, facing up. The projection on the bottom of the base that fits into a T-slot is bordered by an angled surface that cams against the corner of the T-slot to push the other edge of the projection against the other corner of the T-slot when the base is assembled to the track, to provide a snug fit between the base and the track. The stops are provided with accessory mounting slots. A fixed stop with a half-dovetail surface, lens groove and accessory mounting slots can be mounted to a standard 2×4 that has a mating half-dovetail surface or a flat surface. A miter fixture can be mounted to the accessory slots that has fingers with ends that provide surface support of the mitered end of a workpiece whether the workpiece is supported with its point toward or away from the working plane of the support.

Method of manufacturing glued laminated wood

A method of manufacturing glued laminated wood such as laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is disclosed. The glued laminated wood is made of a number of wood sheets such as veneer sheets which are laminated together by a hot press with a thermosetting adhesive into a continuous length of multiple-layered board wherein the end joints of the wood sheets are disposed in a staggered array. There is provided an initial base material having an end which is shaped in the form of a flight of steps including a series of alternate horizontal surface having a lengthwise dimension smaller than the length of the wood sheet and a vertical surface having a height corresponding to the wood sheet thickness, and the glued laminated wood board is formed extending from the end of such initial base material. The hot press includes a pair of heat plates each having an effective pressing area capable of covering the entire surface of the wood sheet. In hot pressing a wood sheet having on one surface thereof coated with adhesive, a board of the glued laminated wood in progress is placed and maintained for a predetermined length of time at a position where the entire top surface of the wood sheet is kept to be pressed from the top by one of the plates while the entire lower surface of the wood sheet is supported from the bottom by the other plate.
