An apparatus is described that is suitable for mounting in a variety of orientations and for forming a variety of woodworking joints at a high throughput. The apparatus is directed to a tool that couples with a power tool to either plunge into or cross feed through a workpiece. The apparatus is particularly well suited for forming biscuit dado, dado, mortise, tenon, floating tenon, dowel, bridle, half lap, tongue, and groove joints, without requiring significant tool changes.

A method for processing plate-shaped workpieces made of wood or wood substitute materials, having the following steps: providing a large-format plate made of wood or wood substitute materials, and supplying the large-format plate to an isolation station; isolating plate-shaped workpieces by dividing the provided large-format plate in the isolation station such that cuts are made in the large-format plate by at least one isolation unit; supplying the isolated workpieces to at least one downstream machining station, in order to finish the isolated workpieces. At least a portion of each isolated workpiece receives, from the isolation unit, an alignment portion having at least one reference drilled hole for engagement of gripping elements. The isolated workpiece provided with the alignment portion is received by means of a gripping element, an engagement element or an acquisition element engaging on the alignment portion, following the separation of the isolated workpiece.

A woodworking vise includes a profiled vise body (1), a first jaw (2) and a second jaw (2′). The first jaw (2) and the second jaw (2′) are disposed at both ends of the vise body along its longitudinal axis. The woodworking vise further includes at least one movable jaw (3). The at least one movable jaw (3) is slidably connected to a top surface of the profiled vise body. Between the movable jaw (3) and the top surface of the profiled vise body (1), a locking block (36) is disposed, and a bottom surface of the locking block (36) is slidably connected to the top surface of the profiled vise body (1). The movable jaw (3) includes a force applying means (34) and a camshaft (35). The camshaft (35) has at least one cam, and the force applying means (34) is connected to the camshaft (35). Moreover, the force applying means (34) is able to rotate about a center axis of the camshaft (35) to drive the camshaft (35) to rotate therewith to cause the cam of the camshaft (35) to press against the locking block (36) and, by means of the locking block (36), press and secure the movable jaw (3) against and to the top surface of the vise body (1). Wherein, the center axis of the camshaft (35) is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the profiled vise body (1). This woodworking vise can solve the problem of an angle of clamping deviation.

An adjustable pocket-cutting device includes a worktop supporting a workpiece, an actuation lever assembly including an actuation lever pivoting about an actuation lever pivot and configured to support a router having a router bit such that the router bit sweeps through a slot in the worktop and into a workpiece as the actuation lever pivots from a retracted position to a deployed position, and a stop assembly for adjustably limiting pivotal movement of the actuation lever to the deployed position. The stop assembly includes a stop lever adjustably mounted relative to the worktop and a stop member extending from the stop lever across or through the actuation lever, wherein the stop member abuts against an abutment surface of the actuation lever to adjustably limit the movement of the actuation lever to the deployed position.

A jump cutting device for use in forming a wooden work piece includes a cutting tool, and a mechanism for moving the cutting tool at an angle between the direction of a crosscut and a direction perpendicular to the cross cut direction. The deepest portion of the cut into the workpiece occurs on a tangent point of the tool. The profile of the cutting tool is a blend of the lineal and cross grain profiles.
