  • Patent number: 4098310
    Abstract: Apparatus for cutting off and beveling the ends of wood web components for trusses. A length of lumber is guided longitudinally into the machine against a stop and clamped near its lead end, following which the clamped portion is cut off to component length, the stop retracted, and the clamped portion automatically moved laterally to pass its ends across a pair of two-way beveling saws. The beveled clamped portion is then returned to starting position where it is automatically unclamped and then manually pushed longitudinally past the retracted stop to be engaged by an ejection device which discharges the component from the machine and automatically extends the stop into the path of the next component.
