A wood planing machine having both manual and automatic planing wood function includes a fundamental base provided with a first working platform and a second working platform. The fundamental base has two sides respectively provided with a guide unit, and a wood planing device is combined with the guide units. Thus, when the wood planing device is pushed to move toward the second working platform from the first working platform, the wood positioned on the first working platform will be planed to form a first flat surface. Then, the wood planing device is positioned at the second working platform, and the wood is turned over to have the wood planing device automatically planing the wood to form a second flat surface. Therefore, this invention is able to integrate efficacy of a manual wood planer and an automatic wood planer and enhance safety in use of the wood planning machine.

The present disclosure provides embodiments of a lapper assembly for use to overlap successive sheets of wood veneer or other materials along a conveyor. The lapper assembly may include a stop member configured to be rotatably mounted to a roller such that the stop member is pivotable around the rotational axis of the roller independently of the rotational angle of the roller. The lapper assembly may further include a lever arm coupled to one end of the stop member. An actuator may be pivotably coupled to the lever arm and the conveyor frame, and operated to pivot the stop member between a workpiece engaging position, in which the stop member extends into the path of workpiece flow, and a workpiece disengaging position below the path. Optionally, the lapper assembly roller and other rollers upstream/downstream may be operatively connected to a drive. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed herein.

Disclosed herein is a system for substantially reducing, or eliminating, planer snipe on workpieces passing through the work area of a woodworking machine and providing a quick change out and adjustment of a press roller mounted to the hood of the woodworking machine.

A hand-press planer includes a base, a tool shaft, an elevation adjustment device, a first workbench, a fix seat, a second workbench, and a reinforcement device. The tool shaft is rotatably disposed on the base. The elevation adjustment device is disposed on one end of the base, and includes an adjustment seat and a movement seat. The movement seat is disposed on the adjustment seat and allowed to generate a relative rising and lowering movement. The first workbench is combined with the movement seat. The fix seat is disposed on another end of the base. The second workbench is combined with the fix seat. The reinforcement device is disposed on the base and connected with the adjustment seat. Therefore, the structural strength of the adjustment seat disposed on the base is improved.

A thickness planer comprising a main body which includes a base structure and a support structure, a cutter carriage adapted to have a cutter assembly operatively mounted thereto, when in an installed position, and a separate roller carriage adapted to have at least one roller assembly operatively mounted thereto, when in an installed position. The cutter carriage and the roller carriage are each mounted to the support structure and arranged so that when the thickness planer is in an in use configuration, the cutter carriage and roller carriage are substantially isolated or separated from one another. The arrangement inhibits or substantially reduces forces generated during use being transferred from the roller carriage to the cutter carriage.
