RAISING PANELS 



Raising panels is an easy matter when you 

 are equipped with our No. 1 Hand 



Feed Double Head Panel Raiser. 



Because it is simple in construction, not liable 

 to get O'Jt of order, and doesn't require an 

 expert to operate it. The table and all other 

 working parts are planed true, have all 

 necessary adjustments, and permit the 

 operator to work close to the cutterheads. 

 The fences remain always in proper position 

 relative to the cutters, and are adjustable for 

 different thicknesses of panels, and will hold 

 them perfectly rigid while passing between 

 the heads. The mandrel has three bearings, 

 with mandrel pulled between bearings, and 

 these are movable together horizontally 

 across the tables.
