| Description: |  | Jay Hyatt - patent attorney"Our improvements relate to that class of machines which contain a vertical cutter wheel, against the face of which the stave to be jointed is held by a swinging frame. The invention consists, principally, in the combination with the cutter-wheel, of peculiar construction, to be hereinafter more fully set forth, of a fan-case, whereby the cutter-wheel is enabled to operate as a fan and produce an air-current, by which the shavings are carried off. It further consists of various mechanical appliances for properly supporting, clamping, and presenting the stave to the action of the cutter-wheel." |  |
