Newman Machine Company, Inc. products

From the construction of the enclosure, heavy duty bearing rails for the sliding doors to the servo drive components, the CG-520A is built to provide quality grinding of all your cutterhead requirements in the most demanding environments.

The G-716 Semi-automatic Cutterhead Grinder is used to sharpen 7” to 16” diameter eased edge, milled to pattern, and fingerjoint cutterheads. Worktable traversing is automatic and has adjustable stops. Cutterhead indexing is manual. Each knife is held against a positive stop while being ground.

No index plate to change when working with heads with different numbers of knives. The use of an index plate assumes that the knives and head separations are uniform throughout, which is often not the case. If the height of the knife is high or low, then the front face of the knife will vary from knife to knife making the task of grinding difficult. The one constant is the back face of the knife, therefore the use of an indexing stop against the back face will provide for accurate indexing regardless of the irregularities in the knives and head slots.

The FT-1600 Feed Table is designed to ensure that a continuous ribbon of lumber is available to the planer.  The machine frame consists of structural steel providing maximum rigidity. The feed works include two pineapple rolls and one top outfeed roll.  Each is driven by an individual electric motor.  The pineapple rolls may be quickly raised and lowered to feed thick or thin lumber through the use of jam clearing controls furnished as standard equipment.

The powered bridge facilitates high speed butt feeding so that an uninterrupted ribbon of lumber is presented to the planer for maximum production. The heavy duty frame contains 16” feed rolls mounted in pillow block bearings. The PB-1600 has electric feed drive and is V belt driven with a 25 hp motor.
