ABSTRACT:
A flitch table is provided for mounting a flitch for slicing of veneer from the flitch by a knife. The flitch includes a mounting side which lies adjacent the table when the flitch is mounted to the table. The mounting side includes grooves which extend generally transversely of the direction of relative movement between the flitch and the knife during the slicing of veneer. The table includes dogs for projecting into the grooves when the flitch is mounted to the table to fix the flitch to the table for slicing of the flitch and guide rails between adjacent dogs longitudinally of the table. The guide rails also project into the grooves when the flitch is mounted to the table. The dogs have a flitch fixing position in which the flitch is fixed to the table by the dogs and a flitch releasing position in which the flitch is not fixed to the table by the dogs. A rack and pinion mechanism drives the dogs between the fixing and releasing positions.
