ABSTRACT:
A veneer peeling apparatus having a fixed rotatable roller and a cutting knife. First and second movable rollers are positioned below the first roller. The first and second rollers are movable toward and away from the fixed roller and each other. Rotating means are connected to both ends of each of the rollers thereby rotating a log positioned between the rollers and against the knife. An automatic log feeding trough leads to a position between the fixed roller and above the first roller whereby a log automatically moves between all of the rollers when the movable rollers are retracted. The first roller includes flanges at each end limiting lateral movement of a log. The speed of rotation of the surface of the fixed roller is slower than the speed of rotation of the surfaces of the movable rollers. A plurality of space support bearings support each of the movable rollers along their lengths allowing the use of smaller rollers which can move closer to each other to move veneer. A plurality of support bearings are positioned along the fixed roller including bearings having ends angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the fixed roller for wiping debris off of the fixed roller.
