ABSTRACT:
The canting machine comprises a pair of log slabbing rotary chipper heads arranged to slab off opposite sides of a log to make a cant which may be subsequently sawed into lumber. The infeed section comprises an endless chain having pairs of saddles spaced different distances apart on the chain to receive logs of different length. One end of the log rests on one saddle and the opposite end rests on the other saddle of the selected pair. In another arrangement, two side-by-side endless chains may be used, one chain carrying a saddle to support the leading end of each log and the other chain carrying a saddle to support the trailing end. A differential drive mechanism for the chains permits adjustment of the spacing of the two saddles to accomodate short and long logs. The outfeed section in either case comprises a pair of guide plates having feed rollers to grip opposite sides of the cant.
