Abstract: The machine described in this disclosure serves to produce pairs of drawer sides from a panel, the thickness of which is slightly more than twice the thickness of one drawer-side; a first arrangement of saws cuts the panel to a predetermined drawer-side height; while a second arrangement of saws cuts off the panels to a predetermined drawer-side length; by means of conveyors, the panels are then passed to a band-saw which slits each panel, through its thickness, into two boards of substantially equal dimensions; two tables each receive a board laid flat, the lower surface of each board being planed by a series of cutters, the sides being machined by a second series of cutters, and the upper surface being planed and grooved by a third series of cutters; the boards are then brought together on a machining table where horizontal and vertical dovetailing heads form a male dove-tail at the end of the drawer-side and a female dove-tail on the upper surface of the drawer-side.

Abstract: The drive cylinder comprises: an elongated rigid element having an internal chamber in which is located a rod guide dividing the chamber into two compartments; the rod, adapted to move longitudinally within the chamber, carries at one end a piston accommodated in one compartment and, at the other end, a head accommodated in the other compartment; a longitudinal aperture is arranged in the body of the cylinder, allowing a drive finger, secured to the head of the rod, to extend to the outside of the rigid element and to impart, to a slide carried by the cylinder, a longitudinal movement parallel with the axis of the cylinder.

Abstract: The specification describes a cutting tool comprising a cylindrical support having a series of cavities arranged in helicoidal rows on its outer surface; in each cavity, a tool-carrier and a chip-breaker are secured by means of a set-screw; means are provided for adjusting the height of the tool-carrier and the chip-breaker, for the purpose of adjusting the position of the blades of these elements within the cavity.
