Veneer Peeling Knife

Our veneer peeling knives are designed for rotary lathes on plywood and veneer production lines, cutting green logs such as poplar, eucalyptus and pine into continuous sheets of veneer. Every blade is ground to a tight straightness tolerance for a smooth, even cut.

Machines these blades are made for

Veneer peeling knives are ordered by machine, not by length alone: the clamping bar, the bolt pattern and the pressure bar all differ between lathe builders. These are the machines our blades are most often fitted to.
