lmproved KVAL Model 99O-R Mtrchine Avqiloble for Pre-Honging Doors

A rather complete re-styling of the Model 990 KVAL Routing-Boring -N{achine for pre-hanging doors has teen compleied by t-he manufacturer, Kvalheim Machinery Company of Pefaluma, California. The changes have resulted irrosily from suggestions of customers who have been using this machine. AJ a result, this equipment is manufactured to fill the needs of concerns in the door pre-hanging field.

The KVAL Routing-Boring Machine, with its new number "Model 990-R" pelformsthe following operations: (1) Door is bored for lock ; (2) lace plate area is routed out; (3) both jamb and door are routed for hinges ; (4) hinges can be applied without removing hinge pins. These operations are done without moving the door or jamb.

The major change of the new model is that of using a carriage for the hoiizontal bore. This increases the rigidity of the drill and face plate routing attachment. It also enables the operator to change over from ls/g" to 73f" doots more quickly. Some of the other changes include new center hinge itops, new type foot pedals, front adjustment for door rvidth, and other notable improvements.

KVAL Machine ProcCsses Two Doors at Once

Kvalheim Machinery Company of Petaluma, California, has also developed another variation on their KVAL Edging Machines. The KVAL Model 550 MS has the added feature of an adjustable, direct motor-driven splitte.r saw in addition to the two side cutter heads. This makes it possible to solit doors or board material on the same machine and at the same time that the stock is being edged for overall width.

The machine shown Two can be mounted shown, If four saws are can be constructed.

is not limited to one splitter saw. on a single suspension system as needed, a double suspension system

This particular arrangement has the advantage of -quick change,-which is an important feature. This fact makes it suita6le for the plywood industry in the capacity of a skinner saw. By usirig a multiple system of rubber rolls and no side heads,-the Model 550 MS can be adapted for this purpose. It also can be used in shops where plywood is ripped in multiple widths.
