Because, Veneers are Lathes too ...
Did you know that Premier Gear & Machine Works has been a permanent fixture in the woodworking industry for over 80 years?

8yThank you Grant, I appreciate that. This is really an area/division of Premier Gear that I've only begun to understand and it will likely be years before I really grasp the general concept of how a Veneer Lathe works. I can assist with making the components, but the assembly is an entirely new ball game. Thankfully, Russ Cole just happens to be a Veneer Lathe smarty pants. So, I will just ride on his woodworking coattail for awhile. Ha, ha ...
