Apparatus for producing thin boards

An apparatus for cutting thin board by chipless cutting from a squared timber on at least one side thereof comprising:

• support means for supporting said square timber,
• a cutter station on at least one side of said squared timber and including a cutter blade engageable with said square timber,
• pressure applying means on the side of said squared timber opposite from said cutter station to urge said squared timber against said cutter station at an adjustable pressure, and
• a feed system arranged to move said squared timber toward said cutter blade, said feed system including at least one pair of opposite feed rollers, the rollers in said pair of opposite feed rollers being respectively located on opposite sides of said timber, means for freely moving each pair of opposite feed rollers as a discrete pair in a transverse direction relative to the feed direction for adapting the position of said opposite feed rollers to the position of said squared timber while maintaining symmetrical clamping forces.
