Abstract: A machine is described for the slicing removal of a board from a cant adved longitudinally past a blade and pressed, from the side opposite from the blade, by means of a pressing device against the blade and a counterpressure rail mounted in front of the blade. In contrast to conventional constructions, in which driven feed rollers for the cant are located before and beyond the actual slicing device, driven roller pairs are provided directly in the region over which the blade, which forms a very acute angle with the feed direction, extends. The feed roller pairs are moreover floatingly journaled so that they do not affect the position of the cant. By the novel arrangement, an overly lengthy force transmission path through the cant itself from the feed rollers to the blade is avoided.
