Wood-turning includes inventions for reducing sticks of woodto a desired form by means of rotary or non-rotary cutters broughtinto engagement with the circumference of the continuously-rotatingstick or by means of rotary or non-rotary cutters revolving circumferentiallyaround and in engagement with the stick or that portion of the stickto be reduced.
Wood-turning also includes machines provided with work-holderswhich hold several sticks arranged axially in or near the circumferencethereof to form a cylinder of such sticks to be operated upon bythe cutter as though it were a single stick. These machines arefor producing sticks of polygonal section by turning the sticksin the work-holder to successively present new surfaces to the cutter.
