An edge band fine trimming mechanism of an edge banding machine includes a fixed seat, and a lateral feeler wheel, a top feeler wheel set and a scraper, which are disposed on the fixed seat. The lateral feeler wheel is rotatably disposed on the fixed seat. The top feeler wheel set includes a fixing member adjustably disposed on the fixed seat, and first and second top feeler wheels disposed separately, both rotatably disposed on the fixing member and located at a same predetermined height. The scraper is located between the lateral feeler wheel and the top feeler wheel set for trimming an edge of an edge band of a workpiece. Even though the workpiece has a hole, the scraper is positionally maintainable by the top feeler wheel set, that effectively reduces appearance defects of the end edge of the edge band caused in the edge trimming process.

A support arrangement for supporting a workpiece at a processing device during processing of the workpiece. The support arrangement comprises: a fixating means adapted to arrange an abutment surface of the support arrangement in contact with one side of the workpiece when another opposite side of the workpiece abuts one or more fences of the processing device, a locking means adapted to lock the fixating means in a contact position where abutment surface of the support arrangement abuts the one side of the workpiece when another opposite side of the workpiece abuts the one or more fences of the processing device, and a connecting means adapted to connect the support arrangement with the processing device. The support arrangement may be applied e.g. at saw devices for fixating a log to be sawn, in order to achieve a satisfactory result for a sawing process, e.g. planks with a high dimensional accuracy it is important that the workpiece is reliably fixated during the sawing process.

The present disclosure provides for an apparatus for using continuous, preferably smooth, bandsaw blades to cut a substrate. The current disclosure also discloses using the same for preparing a safe and efficient method for cutting substrates into rolls.

A shoe for a band saw, the shoe having a body including a generally C-shaped member defined by a substantially planar portion for engaging a workpiece and a pair of rails extending transversely therefrom and wrapping such that the body includes a generally T-shaped receptacle for slidably receiving a correspondingly-shaped member. The substantially planar portion includes apertures aligned linearly. A biased detent feature has a holding force with a magnitude sufficient to hold the body when the detent feature is seated in one of the apertures. The body is moveable linearly, relative to the detent feature, in the direction of alignment of the apertures between engaged and non-engaged positions. The body is moveable out of the engaged position in the direction by application of a disengaging force in the direction acting to move the body with respect to the detent feature and acting to overcome the holding force in the engaged position.

An apparatus is provided for cutting a plurality of workpieces that is arranged relative to first, second, and third reference axes that are perpendicular to each other. The apparatus includes a cutting assembly and an input assembly. The cutting assembly includes a chassis, and first and second saw blades movably coupled to the chassis that are configured to respectively cut along first and second cutting planes that are transverse to each other. The input assembly includes a tabletop and first and second clamping mechanisms for clamping the workpieces collectively. The first clamping mechanism includes a first counterpart and a first movable member that is translatable along the first reference axis and translatable relative to the first counterpart. The second clamping mechanism includes a second counterpart and a plurality of second movable members that are each translatable along the second reference axis relative to the second counterpart.

A band saw includes a first wheel and a second wheel for supporting a continuous band saw blade, a motor operable to drive at least one of the first and second wheels, a housing supporting the first wheel and the second wheel, a shoe for engaging a workpiece, the shoe including a first detent feature. The band saw also includes a second detent feature cooperating with the first detent feature to hold the shoe with respect to the housing. The shoe is moveable with respect to the housing between an engaged position and a non-engaged position. The shoe is moveable out of the engaged position by application of a force acting to move the shoe with respect to the housing sufficient to overcome cooperation between the first and second detent features in the engaged position.

The present invention is a coping saw for performing a coping operation. The saw is operable in a first orientation for performing a first cut and in a second orientation for performing a coping second cut and comprises a handle having one or more power switches for activating and deactivating the drive system in both the first orientation and in the second orientation.

A shoe for a band saw includes a block for coupling to the band saw, the block having an aperture, a locking ball disposed in the aperture, a body including a first surface for engaging a workpiece and an opposite surface having plurality of recesses, and a locking rod coupled to the block and movable between a first position and a second position. The locking ball is received in one of the plurality of recesses of the body when the locking rod is in the first position such that the body is fixed relative to the block, and the body is movable relative to the block when the locking rod is in the second position.
