Wood slicing machine

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method of slicing wood by moving a wooden workpiece on a linear path, and forcing one end against a blade directed longitudinally along the grain applying, pressure on both sides of the workpiece on opposite sides, of the blade by means of pressure pads and, allowing the, pressure pads to move relative to the blade while, maintaining equal spacing between themselves so as to, equalize the compressive force on both sides of the workpiece in the region of the blade, and an apparatus for carrying out the method. Also disclosed is a wood slicing blade with V-shaped notches, which is short and stiff and a blade, holder assembly arranged to tension the blade latterly.
