    Patent number: 4546806
    Abstract: A method for trimming the edges of a sheet of veneer perpendicularly to its grain while preventing this sheet from splitting. In a first step, a strip of tape is applied onto the sheet of veneer close to each of its edges to be trimmed. In a second, subsequent step, the tape-reinforced edges of the sheet of veneer are trimmed by shearing, preferably using a pair of overlapping cutting discs positioned to produce the requested shearing action. A machine especially designed for carrying out this method is also disclosed.
