A set of milling tools is for forming profiled edge regions on at least two opposite edges of panels, with a first and a second subset of milling tools. The first subset allows a first type of profiled edge region to be formed. The male coupling part and female coupling part are provided with horizontally acting locking surfaces. A first milling tool from the first subset is configured to form the horizontally acting locking surface of the male coupling part. The second subset allows a second type of profiled edge region to be formed, wherein the male coupling part and female coupling part are provided with horizontally acting locking surfaces. A first milling tool from the second subset is configured to form the horizontally acting locking surface of the male coupling part; and the first milling tools are configured to be mounted on the same drive shaft.

A method for producing lumber from a tree trunk, where a machining surface is produced on the trunk by removing a slab region, and where, during a feed movement in a feed direction, the trunk moves toward at least two milling tools, which are each feedable along an infeed axis, whereby two waney regions adjacent to the machining surface are milled out and at least one side product board is profiled, and the side product board is separated from the trunk by a saw cut. During feeding and before profiling the side product board, the trunk is brought from a transport to a machining position by moving the trunk around and/or along an adjustment axis, which runs orthogonally to the feed direction, and, as a result, at least one leading region of the trunk is shifted transversely to the feed direction in the direction of at least one milling tool.

Disclosed is a guide plate for use in a woodworking cutting guide, having a body. The body has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the body. Multiple through-holes extend through the body. Along the thickness direction, the body is sequentially formed with a guide hole, a mounting hole, and a recess. The guide hole communicates with the mounting hole and extends to the second surface. The mounting hole communicates with the recess, which extends to the first surface. A tapered surface forms the wall of the guide hole, thereby limiting and positioning a guide bushing along the radial direction of the guide hole.
