FH2 Veneer Cutting Saw

The FH2 model is available in 10, 12, and 14 foot cutting lengths. The standard equipment consists of a saw carriage guided by high-precision linear guides, planning unit, front supporting table, dust extractor hose for connection to an extraction system, and parallel fence with magnetic length measuring system.

Mayer has over 30 years experience of building a popular range of veneer saws. The range was redesigned in 2001 to take advantage of newer technology such as « star » linear guidance systems for an easier and more precise movement of the carriage and « siko » magnetic tape measuring for incremental and absolute positioning of the fence.

The frequency controlled planning motor has a power of 1.5 hp. The joint knife head is fitted with 4 reversible cutters and has a diameter of 3.375”.

The planning unit to re-cut the edges is raised pneumatically on an extremely precise linear guidance and lowered again when the cut has been completed. This guarantees an optimal cutting result, even for dry and brittle veneers such as oak.

Method of operation :

The positioning fence is moved by a conveniently placed handle from the front of the machine and the dimension is displayed via an electronic digital readout. The fence is locked and unlocked by a pneumatic cylinder with push button control. A stack of veneer is placed beneath the beam and pushed up to the stop cams on the positioning fence. The beam is lowered to firmly clamp the veneer and the carriage is then manually pulled through the veneer to trim and create a jointed edge. The planing head can be selected for an extra fine finish or turned off if not required. The front support table is mounted on slides and is pulled out when using the planing head.

Parallel fence with linear guidance, pneumatic clamping and recessed veneer stops, operating range .75 – 23.625”. The magnetic length measuring systems simplifies adjustment by providing good readability and functions such as absolute/incremental measurement
