Abstract
A veneer lathe comprising a piercing roller and a guiding member for producing a veneer which is free from piercing scars. A third rotational shaft ( ) is raised from the position where the piercing projections ( ) of the piercing rolls ( ) are pierced into the outer peripheral wall of the log ( ) to a position which enables the distance between the tip end of the piercing projections ( ) and the backing plate ( ), the concave portion ( ) and the guide member ( ) to become larger than the thickness of the veneer (T ), and then, the third rotational shaft ( ) is moved away from the log ( ) up to a position which makes the piercing projections ( ) impossible to pierce the outer peripheral wall of the log ( ), after which the log ( ) is rotated to perform the cutting by means of knife ( ).
