Boring Machines Are Nothing to Yawn About!

Biesse F39N Spindle Horizontal/Vertical Boring Machine

Used 32mm and through-feed boring machines include all multiple-spindle boring machines that have fixed drill spindles separated on 32mm centers. Some boring machines are designed in a simple, single vertical row. Others drill horizontally and have multiple spindles with in-line drilling. There are other boring machines with tilting heads that are capable of drilling either vertically or horizontally. Finally, there are also multiple head borers that are capable of simultaneously drilling horizontally and vertically.  Shops with larger production runs of similar drilling patterns can utilize feed-through multiple-head boring machines. No mater what the configuration is, these machines can range in operation from fully manual to numerically controlled.

Biesse, Gannomat, SCM, and Weeke are some of the popular brands of used borers available on the used machinery market today.

Textiles Intelligence - UK and Fibre2fashion - India are proud to announce a strategic alliance between their organisations

Robin Anson, Managing Director of Textiles Intelligence in the UK, and Dr PR Roy, Director of Fibre2Fashion in India, are proud to announce a strategic alliance between their organisations. The aim of the alliance is to provide the South Asian textile and apparel industry with research-based information to support their strategic planning. The alliance will take effect from April 2011.

Mr Anson and Dr Roy share the view that, with the current shift of the textile and clothing industry to Asia, it was logical for both organisations to join together in order to provide the necessary insight and strategy advice to assist the needs of emerging markets in South Asia. Dr Roy is excited to have Textiles Intelligence, a global knowledge leader in the field, as a partner of Fibre2Fashion.

Companies in South Asia will be able to gain access to research-based knowledge and information through two new printed publications, namely Textile and Apparel Outlook South Asia and Technical Textiles and Performance Apparel South Asia.

Shapers: What Are They and How Are They Used?

Unique 336 Shaper

Shapers range from single head machines with fixed spindles to fully automated machines with multiple heads. Most shapers are single head with a cutter head fixed to a rotating spindle. They are used for shaping solid wood components or the edges of panel components. They can be fitted with a material feeder to feed the stock longitudinally or with a sliding table which clamps the material to be fed through the cutter head. This application is generally for shaping the ends of component stock. Some have tilting spindles to allow deeper profiles with less cutter projection. There are also double head shapers, generally with one head rotating in each direction. This is to allow the operator to always work that the head that is rotating toward the material when approaching, especially when working the ends of material where breakout could be a problem. There are also floating head shapers where the material is fed through between 2 floating heads to process 2 sides and size in the same operation. There are also rotary and linear multiple head shapers that accomplish more complex shaping and edge sanding of components in only 1 pass.

SCM, Unique, Casadei, and Onsrud are a few of many brands of shapers on the used woodoworking machine market today.

How Many Varieties of Cross-Cutting Saws Are There?

Omga T-2005 OPT Cross Cutting Saw

In this article we will review three different kinds of cross cutting saws.

1) CUTOFF saws are usually used for cutting solid wood to length, although they are also used to cut narrow panel stock to length. They can have the blade raising from under the material or lowering into the material. They normally are used to cut material less than 12” (300mm) wide as the blade does not stroke forward and back, only up and down. These saws can be manually activated with mechanical stops, semi automatic with pneumatic stops or fully automatic with CNC control. More automated machines also detect and cut out defects.   

2) MITER saws can be equipped with 1 blade which can be adjusted for simple or compound angles for cutting mouldings, base boards, etc while others have 2 fixed blades at 90 degree angles for cutting toe kicks from panels or components to length with a 45 degree cut. They can also have two blades, with one fixed and the other adjustable for cutting pieces to various lengths with angles each end, like for a picture frame application. Some also have compound angle cutting capability for crown mouldings, etc... These machines can be from small simple units for hobby workers to fully automated saws controlled by CNC for large production environments.

3)  RADIAL ARM saws are utilized for cutting wider boards or panels to length. They are generally with a single tilting blade from above and the saw head travels (is pulled and pushed) horizontally toward and away from the operator while cutting. Most radial saws are manually operated with the operator controlling the stroke required to complete the cuts. Radial saws are popular with hobby workers wanting to do all of their cutting on one machine as the blade head can be rotated up to 90 degrees to allow ripping as well as cross cutting on the same machine. Generally Radial Saws have a cross cutting capacity of from 20” (500mm) to 36” (900mm).

Cross-cutting saws made made by many manufacturers -- too many to list here.

Picker/machinery movement restrictions lifted over Easter

Cotton Australia has successfully negotiated exemptions from travel restrictions usually applied over the Easter holiday period. These are the details for each state.

NSW

NSW Roads Minister Duncan Gay has announced an exemption from the 2011 Easter travel restrictions for the NSW cotton industry.

Mr Gay said the exemption had been put in place to help the cotton industry manage a bumper season and takes into account the expected high volume of traffic during the Easter holiday period and the need to ensure the safety of all road users.

The NSW RTA is providing an exemption allowing oversize vehicles involved in the 2011 cotton harvest and operating under the Class 1 Oversize Notice or the Class 1 Permit (ie cotton harvesting equipment being floated) to travel on the Newell Highway for three days of the five-day long holiday period.

Under the exemption, operators will be able to travel on the Newell Highway from sunrise on Friday 22 April to sunset on Sunday 24 April. These days would normally be prohibited for highway travel by all oversize vehicles covered by the Notice or Permit. The exemption will not apply on ANZAC day 25 April or on Tuesday 26 April.
