Face Veneer for the Woodworking Industry can be divided as under : 

• Longitudinal Slicing: The log is cut into flitch slabs usually between 50 and 100mm thick. The slabs are drawn under the stationary slicer blade end on, and the veneer is paired off down the length of the flitch.
• Crosscut Slicing: Over the years, more decorative veneer has been produced by this method. It is fast and very efficient, with wastage from each bolt being minimal. In crosscutting, the flitch or full log is locked into the machine. Systems have been developed with stationary or moving knives but the principle is the same. The knife moves across the width of the flitch at a slight angle, and because of its short travel, quick cycle times are achieved with high output. As the flitch is sliced away the carriage gradually moves closer to the blade with a pressure bar controlling the knife position.
• Staylog Lathe Slicing: This technique can accommodate the quarter cut slicing, crown cut slicing, semi rotary peeling, or highly decorative difficult timbers such as burls, butts, ripple and fiddleback. Because of its flexibility it can maximize the yield of these timbers and is particular suited to cutting smaller logs such as regrowth. The log or flitch is locked into the machine arm which rotates on a centre axis like a lathe. With each revolution the flitch contacts the knife, which cuts across the width of the face. The veneer is sliced off in a tangential arc to the centre axis, and therefore produces veneer which is actually wider than the dimensions of the flitch it came from. This is particularly advantageous when using smaller logs. As the flitch is sliced, both the log arm and knife carriage move together to maintain balance and the correct cutting angle. In addition to being an optimum system for small regrowth logs this technique offers another important advantage over conventional slicing. The staylog lathe has the facility to manipulate the position and angle of the flitch in the slicer, thus avoiding or minimizing impact of unsound or undesirable sections, or conversely taking advantage of the better sections. 
• First-class raw materials, professional heat treatment for good wear resistance and precise machining for dimensional accuracy with blemish-free surfaces for superior cutting performance and quality of end products.
