Abstract: A method for making a fibrous strip configured for making a ribbon with a thickness ranging between 0.1 mm and 1 mm and a width ranging between 2 mm and 10 mm. The ligneous logs or cans are cut into square-edged plank with a predefined length. The strip is separated from a surface of the square-edged plank by an orthogonal cutting process. The depth of cut is equal to the thickness of the strip. The cutting speed direction is parallel to the fibers of the square-edged plank. Also, a fibrous reinforcement is obtained using the method and a device for implements the method.
Abstract: A machining tool beveling the edges of workpieces such as sheet metal is movable relative to the workpiece in the feed direction along the edge of the workpiece and in an action direction perpendicular to the feed direction. It has at least two adjacent cutting edges extending in the feed direction, one of which is the leading edge and the other of which is the trailing edge which is offset from the leading edge. The trailing cutting edge will effect a further cut in the workpiece as the tool is moved along the edge of the workpiece and reciprocated against its edge portion.
Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for cutting pairs of symmetrical bevels on opposite sides of halving joints used for windows, doors, and the like, and a groove-like recess on a third side of the workpiece. The first pair of bevels is cut on one side of the clamped workpiece by moving the cutting tool in a horizontal direction over and across the workpiece; then, the workpiece fastened within the clamping device is turned 180.degree. over the operation path of the grooving tool, which cuts the recess automatically during this turning operation. Subsequently, the tool is moved in the opposite direction into the starting position as it cuts the pair of bevels into the second, opposite side of the workpiece, and finally the workpiece is turned back into the starting position.
