Veneer Pressure Bar
The pressure bar presses the log face ahead of the peeling knife and keeps the fresh veneer from cracking on its back side. Our bars are made from 9CrSi alloy tool steel with an edge radius matched to your peeling process, for both single-bar and double-bar set-ups.

Machines these blades are made for
The pressure bar is matched to the lathe and to the knife beside it: radius, length and mounting all follow the machine. These are the lathe builders we supply bar sets for.
