  • Patent number: 10011039
    Abstract: A device and a method for machining a workpiece are provided, wherein said workpiece includes segments of wood, wood-based materials, synthetic material or the like, having a first milling tool for contour machining an edge attached to said workpiece, a second milling tool for contour machining the edge attached to said workpiece, which is adjustable in relation to said first milling tool between a resting position, in which said first milling tool is engageable with the workpiece, and a machining position, in which said second milling tool is engageable with a workpiece. The device is characterized by a third milling tool for flush milling a narrow side of the edge attached to said workpiece, the three milling tools being arranged coaxially to each other and all are jointly drivable by one device.

  • Patent number: 6640854
    Abstract: The invention relates to a treatment unit with a cutting tool (1) for treating wood, plastic or the like. Said treatment unit comprises a suction hood (6) with a ring (17) that encircles the tool (1) completely in the circumferential direction and at least partially in the axial direction. The suction hood (6) is located on the side of the drive spindle of the tool (1). A chip receiving opening (10) is provided in the tool (1) in the vicinity of the blade (4), said opening traversing the tool (1) in both the axial and the radial direction. A chip formed at the blade (4) is transported through the chip receiving opening (10) to the suction hood (6) from where the chip is removed by air suction.
