Abstract
There is disclosed an apparatus that works a work piece that employs routers disposed on opposite upper and lower sides of a table. The routers operate on opposite sides of a work piece contemporaneously. The resultant work piece may be worked so as to be uniform and identical with previously and successively worked work pieces.
Claims7
A material working apparatus comprising:
- a first table including a substantially planar bed for supporting a workpiece, the bed including an open area therein, the open area defining a work area;
- a first holder operatively securing a first router with cutting blades, the first holder mounted to the underside of the table;
- a second holder operatively securing a second router with cutting blades, the second holder mounted to the topside of the table and disposed directly across the substantially planar bed from the first holder such that the cutting blades of the routers are positionable within the work area for abrading the workpiece, at least one of the first or second holder capable of linear displacement from the other holder in order to accommodate workpieces of varying widths;
- a first table height adjustment mechanism;
- and
- a second table operatively coupled to and aligned with the first table work area, the second table including a planer for abrading the workpiece wherein the workpiece is moved from the second table to the first table by at least one feed roller with a first and second end, the first and second ends of the feed roller secured to the second table.
