 edges of box boards, heading boards, &c. The work is done by bits and cutter heads. 



The "Linderman" automatic dovetail glue jointer, manufactured by the Linderman Machine Co., of 

 Muskegon, Mich., is a wonderful machine securing a perfect glue-joint, by a dovetail groove and tongue 

 (tapering lengthwise) between two boards -regardless of their width -by one single operation. 



By "gaining" is understood the ditching across a piece.

The "mortiser" removes, whilst it produces a clean-cut mortise, the dust and shavings automatically. 

 It consists either of a square, hollow chisel containing a spiral spindle which ends in a bit; or else of a 

 fine endless chain, cutting the mortise by its sharp welds. In either case a "plunger" drops, at the 

 pressure of a foot- lever, the mortiser into the cavity to be made.
