A robotic apparatus for processing the timber logs intended to be used in the construction of a log structure. The robotic apparatus includes at least a vertical clamp assembly, a horizontal clamp assembly, a roller clamp assembly, a central log processing assembly, and a conveyor. The central log processing assembly allows multiple processes to be performed sequentially on the same machine requiring much less equipment and less labor in the handling and processing of the logs. By utilizing multiple tool masts, a primary mast can be performing a primary process while the secondary mast is selecting the tool appropriate to the next or secondary process.

A multiple blade table saw for use with a tool attachment assembly enables a user to perform different woodworking tasks simultaneously on plywood to enhance efficiency. The table saw assembly includes a housing to store a blade assembly having a plurality of blades operably connected to a motor, a tabletop coupled to a top of the housing and having a first slot and a second slot, the first slot able to permit portions of the plurality of blades to extend therethrough to be exposed above the tabletop, and a carriage slidably mounted to the housing and able to secure the tool attachment assembly. The tool attachment assembly includes a cutting member that is positioned within the second slot of the tabletop. The user maneuvers a plywood sheet on the tabletop to permit the blade assembly and cutting member to cut the plywood sheet.

A single station shaper sander that uses a quick change retractable shaper and a quick change retractable profile sander is described. The shaper generates a profile in a substrate, and then the sander sands the profile in the substrate without intermediate removal of the substrate. Both the shaper and sander are retractable, moving away from the substrate when retracted, and are moved into contact with the substrate when engaged. Either an operator or automatic controls may be used to engage and retract the shaper or sander, so as to minimize operator access to dangerous moving surfaces on either. Further, each sander or shaper may have removable tools that are temporarily affixed to a spindle, affording tool changes of 15 seconds or less.
