Abstract
A protecting and guiding device for wood-shaping machines for shaping curved workpieces by means of a cutter (14) which is mounted on a spindle (12), projects vertically from a horizontal machine table (10), and is located underneath a covering hood (16) fastened to the machine table (10), a guide member (70) for the workpiece being held inside the covering hood (16). The covering hood has two side walls (18) connected with one another by a rear wall (20), a vertically adjustable front protective shield (28), and a top cover (22) provided with a connection piece (36) for a suction device. The two side walls (18) have smooth, plane inner surfaces (80) extending parallel to one another and are arranged so as to be horizontally displaceable independently from one another at the top cover (27) of the covering hood (16). A guide member (70) with two mutually parallel guide surfaces (78) can be supported at the mutually parallel inner surfaces (80) of the side walls (8) and guided at these inner surfaces (80) so as to be horizontally and vertically displaceable.
