Abstract: A butt-end wood holding system for a tenoning-and-mortising apparatus. The butt-end wood holding system comprising a pivotal guide member which engages the butt-end of a work-piece. The pivotal guide member is rotatably linked to the relatively fixed base of the mortising-and-tenoning spindle so that rotation of a concentric and rotatable support ring of the guide member, located about the spindle support, results in a parallel horizontal translation of the pivoting guide member. The butt-end wood guide member support being separately linked to the relatively fixed mortising-and-tenoning spindle support.

Abstract: A woodworking machine for cutting tenons and mortises in woods, especially window woods, and comprising at least one tenoning-and-mortising unit and at least one lengthwise profiling unit, where a length-cutting device and a roller table are associated with the tenoning-and-mortising unit, where further a transverse conveyor is provided to move the window wood into an operational position wherein the second end of the window wood shall be provided with tenon and mortise and also comprising a transfer system to transfer the window wood equipped at both ends with tenons and mortises to the lengthwise profiling equipment, said machine being designed in such a manner that its manufacture is economical and its construction is compact.
