The machine for profiling timber - a great assistant in the

Wooden square timber has long been used in the market of building materials as an alternative to rounded logs. Further development of technologies for the construction of low-rise wooden houses led to the creation of profiled sawn timber.

The machine for profiling timber with your own hands allows you to make the required number of wooden products.

Profiled sawn timber

Profiled timber is a high-tech product for the construction of wooden suburban (summer) low-rise houses.

Such lumber is produced mainly from coniferous wood:

• ate;
• larches;
• pines;
• cedar (See the article for more details. What are the advantages of cedar glued laminated timber)

Material Features

Profiled building products are characterized by the presence of grooves and spikes of a special form, thanks to which it is possible to create a strong and tight connection. The bar is already well oiled and can be immediately opened with varnish or paint.

He does not require any special treatment. Depending on its purpose, the profile material is made of different sections. (See the article on processing timber from rotting for a long time - the key to long-term operation of the building)

Appearance of a profile bar

The machine for the manufacture of profiled timber provides the production of lumber, which have a flat or semi-oval outer side. If desired, chamfer can be removed.

The inner side is made flat planed, and the lateral faces of the log after processing on the machine take the form of a groove and a spike to make a reliable connection between them. The sides of the sawn timber should have a mirror placement of the spikes and grooves. In some types of profile, to increase the insulating properties, insulation can be laid in the grooves.

Advantages over other materials for construction

The machine for the production of profiled timber allows you to produce building materials that have a number of advantages compared with other materials:

• good aesthetic view of the house, assembled from specialized products;
• easy assembly of the structure;
• lack of wall seams due to high precision of laying;
• factory cuts provide increased resistance to deformation and cracking;
• due to the presence of special spikes and grooves, it is possible to ensure good thermal insulation of the structure;
• there is no need for a cauldron built, as rainwater does not fall into the joints between the bars even with driven rains; (For more details, see the article Docking timber by length - variants of joints)
• buildings are characterized by high performance;
• the price of houses assembled from profile timber is much lower than from other building materials.

Manufacturing technology

To save financial resources when you have the necessary equipment, you can make profiled lumber with your own hands.

Technical devices for the manufacture of the profile material

The profiling of building material from wood provides a profiling machine for timber.

The machine is a quadrilateral planing unit with profiling cutters. Thanks to such a device, a high-quality building material is made from a rectangular wooden billet.

For reliable fixation and safe supply of the workpiece in manual or automatic mode, provided by the design of the desktop with end clamps. Powerful, modern machines are characterized by good performance and provide a fairly high accuracy of dimensions and proportions.

Modern equipment for the production of sawn timber with profiles is characterized by its versatility. Machines allow you to perform at the same time the whole complex of works necessary for the manufacture and processing of building materials from wood, ranging from splitting and ending with milling.

Stages of manufacturing products with a profile

Building material with a profile can be obtained if you use a machine for profiled timber.

The manufacturing process is divided into two main stages:

• stringency;
• milling.

At the first stage, the blank is given the required form. Faces are made round or straight. At the milling stage, a mirror profile is cut in the form of spikes and grooves. This process is called profiling.

Independent production of specialized products

Before proceeding with the manufacture of a building material with a profile, it is necessary to become familiar with GOST 9330-76, which sets out the basic requirements for joining wood products (parts).

For self-production of wood with a profile, you must perform the following scope of work.

1. First, the wooden blank, from which it is planned to make a construction product with a profile, must be given a quadrilateral correct shape. To do this, the workpiece must be cut on a special power-saw bench, where it will be dismissed into a bar of the desired section;

Tip! It is not recommended to use glued wood for the construction of your house, as it does not meet the standards for environmental friendliness and a unique microclimate will not be created in the building.

1. The wood, before reaching the profiled bar machine for processing, must be properly dried;

Tip! When buying a finished workpiece, you must pay attention to the level of moisture content of the wood. Only with high-quality drying of wood is its shrinkage and deformation minimized.

1. It is advisable for self-production to choose a simple profile for cutting materials from wood. It is also necessary that the compounds obtained make it possible to use insulation (not less than 5 mm thick);
2. To make a rectangular cut on the product, you can use a milling machine;

1. Triangular grooves are cut using a hand-held circular saw. The working platform of such a saw should provide sawing at the required angle. At the same time, the depth of cut (straight) should be not less than 65.0 mm. Waste from a triangular cross section can later be used to connect the bars to each other;
2. If necessary, the manufacture of building materials with corner joints, it is necessary to give preference to one-sided (two-way) locking grooves. Cut the groove from the right side can be using special tools and a milling machine.

Conclusion

Thus, having at your disposal even an used machine for profiling a timber, while observing all the rules and safety regulations, you can make high-quality building materials.
