Veneer knives are specialized tools used to peel thin sheets of wood, known as veneers, from a log. They are commonly used in the woodworking and furniture manufacturing industries to produce high-quality veneers that can be used for decorative purposes.
Veneer blades are typically made from high-quality steel, such as high-speed steel (HSS) or tungsten carbide, which provides durability and sharpness to the blade. The knives are usually designed with a long, thin blade that is tapered at the end to ensure a clean, smooth cut.
There are several types of veneer peeling knives, including rotary knives, slicer knives, and guillotine knives. Rotary knives are the most common type and are used to peel veneers from logs by rotating against the log's surface. Slicer knives, on the other hand, are used to slice thin veneers from the log, and guillotine knives are used to cut thicker veneers.
