Abstract
A dimensional cutting tool for flat wood stock is the subject of the present invention. The cutting tool comprises a table structure, the flat surface of which is movable vertically to accommodate varying thicknesses of wood. Two or more circular saw blades are movably attached to a horizontal shaft above the table surface and may be positioned anywhere along the length of the shaft. When wood stock is to be cut, the table surface height is appropriately adjusted and the saw blades positioned at the desired cutting locations. First and second power feed rollers, driven by an electric motor and drive belt assembly, feed wood stock through the machine, thus providing precise feeding of the wood both into and away from the blades. Additionally, the cutting head can be replaced with a planing or molding head without further modification of the tool.
