A dado indexing jig includes a plurality of indexing members and indexing surfaces that are adjustable relative to one another and a cutting element to account for a width of a workpiece that corresponds to the width of a dado to be cut. In addition, the indexing surfaces are adjustable to account for a width of a blade or router to cut a dado.

Building panels, especially floor panels are shown, which are provided with a locking system that is configured to lock the adjacent edges by angling and that have a tongue and a strip on the same edge, and a method to divide a board and produce such building panels. A method for dividing a floor element, into a first floor panel and a second floor panel, said floor element including a core provided with a decorative surface layer and a balancing layer, wherein the method includes the step of forming, through the balancing layer or the decorative surface layer, a second groove by displacing the floor element past a fixed tool.

An apparatus for the formation of a channel in a workpiece located at a first face of a base of the body of the apparatus, the channel formed by a drill assembly of the apparatus connected to drive means located on a second opposing side of the base, the drill assembly and drive means mounted so as to be movable in a guided manner with respect to the base. The movement is achieved by manual movement of a gripping means of an actuation means of the apparatus with respect to the base, so as to cause one or more flexible connecting members of the actuation means which are positioned intermediate the gripping means and drill assembly to move and advance the drill assembly towards the workpiece. The channel is formed in accurate manner which then allows the same to receive securing means typically to allow a joint between first and second workpieces to be accurately formed.

An improved joint is provided for modular furniture. The joint includes a dovetail shaped tab and a corresponding slot. The tab is held in the slot such that the tab is maintained in an elastically bent position while the item of modular furniture is in an assembled configuration. The tab and slot provides increased stiffness and rigidity to the piece of furniture while allowing the piece of furniture to be assembled without fasteners such as screws or nails.

A cutting device for a continuous milling machine for the profiling of one or more edges of panels has a slide shoe or pressure shoe, which has a sliding surface or sliding surfaces for guiding a surface of a panel to be milled over it or them. The aforementioned slide shoe or pressure shoe is provided with at least one cutting blade for machining the panel; the cutting blade maintains a fixed position during this machining. The slide shoe or the pressure shoe is provided in order to support the surface of the panel to be milled by means of its sliding surface or sliding surfaces on a rotating milling cutter that carries out a milling operation on the edge of the panel.

An edge-casting process for sheet materials according to the present invention includes the following steps: S1. grooving, that is to choose a suitable sheet material, and leave a processing margin on the peripheral edge of the sheet, material, so as to make a first groove; S2. casting or covering, that is to cast a high solid content coating material into said first groove and solidify it; S3. making a second groove on the back of said first groove of the sheet material, and casting a high solid content coating material into said second groove and solidify it; and S4. milling and chamfering, that is to chamfer the sheet material according to a required processing margin, then perform an edge-casting process. An objective of the present invention aims to simplify processes, improve production efficiency, upgrade edge banding performance, greatly enhance the waterproofness, super hardness, anti-friction, collision resistance and adhesion of sheet materials, and dramatically extend the service life of sheet materials, therefor we provide an edge-casting process for sheet materials and its application capable of producing cast edges of variously-shaped sheet materials and suitable for the production of diverse sheet materials.

Building panels, especially laminated floor panels are shown, which are provided with a locking system and several core grooves at the rear side in order to save material and decrease weight. Building panels, each having a surface layer on a front side, a backing layer on a rear side and an intermediate core, wherein the intermediate core and the surface and the backing layer all comprise wood fibres and thermosetting resins, the building panels are provided with a locking system for vertical and horizontal locking of a first edge of a first building panel to an adjacent second edge of a second building panel.
