spindless veneer rotary lathe

Did you see video of the factory where they take gigantic pieces of wood and make them into really thin sheets? Planks are used to construct furniture, flooring and any number of decorations. Veneer lathes are the machines that produce these thin sheets. Recently a new type of veneer lathe has proven very popular. This is the “spindleless veneer rotary lathe. This lathe is very unique because it doesn't rely on a spindle for spinning the wood to make veneer. It is not, however; rather it has an alternative approach which makes this even better functioning.

Streamlining Veneer Manufacturing with the Spindleless Rotary Lathe

The old machines from which people were splitting veneer before the spindleless lathe was invented. These older machine had their issues. They employed a round rod called the spindle to rotate the piece of wood on it as they worked with it. Unfortunately, this had the wood twist and turn such that it was really hard to work with straight. The fibers would then twist around each other when pushed through a winder, resulting in an uneven sheet of veneer that the woodworkers did not care for. The Spindleless Veneer Rotary Lathe however eliminates this issue by employing a conveyor belt. This belt assists in pushing the log straight-line through machine to ensure veneer sheets are extra flat.
