Abrégé

An apparatus is described that is capable of automatically and consecutively processing random lengths of raw part stock boards into finished cabinet, entry door, or window frame rails, without operator intervention. The apparatus processes both cope cuts at the same time while making sure that both the finished rail is the correct length as a function of the length of the raw stock, and that the cope cuts are perpendicular (square) to the long side of the rail. After the cope cuts are made, the machine dimensions the width of the rail and makes a stick cut along one edge of the resulting rail.

A single end tenoner (SET) system and method that automatically sizes a workpiece (e.g. door or like panel) to a specified dimension, and automatically squares the edges of the workpiece, both while processing all four edges to the desires SET profile.

Abrégé

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.

Abrégé

A flap sander is disclosed for use with a workpiece having a nonlinear profile. The flap sander comprises a cylindrical rotary head including a central hub concentric with an axis of rotation of the rotary head, and an inclined surface extending radially outward from the central hub. A plurality of abrasive flaps are detachably secured to the inclined surface of the rotary head and are aligned in a radial array radiating outward from central hub to the periphery of the rotary head. Each of the abrasive flaps comprises an unsecured working edge having a nonlinear profile that substantially matches the profile of the workpiece to provide an even sanding distribution across the workpiece profile independent of the shape of the profile.
