Model
V95-AC		   ARTESAII V95-AC
Super Precision
knife honing machine.
   
  The Taihei V95-AC is a precision knife honer that is used to grind small knife angles along knife edges that were sharpened by the Artesa I knife grinder.

Back：0°～ 45°
   
  Improving knife sharpness
This high precision honing machine can grind knives to an edge width of 0.03mm (0.0012 inches), a width impossible to achieve with any other machine.
The honing machine can create multiple knife angles along the knife edge. This allows the machine to create custom knife angles matched to each log species.
This allows lathes to peel higher quality veneers of greater consistency.
  Improving the knife hardness
By putting many small knife angles on the knife edge, the knife edge becomes oval in shape. Compared with the normal honing process, this process results in a knife with increased hardness.
  Fully automatic operation
Like the ARTESA I, the ARTESA II is capable of automating the entire honing process by inputting the grinding pattern into the machine. Up to 39 honing patterns can be stored in memory.
   
 
Veneer quality
01 The ARTESA models conduct precision knife honing that results in a straighter and sharper edge. This knife allows for precise cutting on the lathe, improving veneer quality.
  → Increased veneer uniformity leads to a smoother veneer surface.
   
02 The knife honing angle can be kept consistent.
  → A consistent knife angle means veneer quality is consistent.
 
Cost savings
01 Low grade logs can be peeled.
  → Using sharper knives with consistent angles, low quality logs can be peeled to produce higher quality veneers.
  Reduces log costs.
   
02 Knife durability is increased as cracks are reduced on the knife tip and edge.
  → Using a special oval precision knife edge, veneer surface quality and consistency is increased.
  Less breakage means less knife costs.
   
03 By making the veneer surface smoother and consistent, the amount of glue required can be reduced.
  → Reduce glue costs.
   
04 The precision knife enables the lathe to peel veneer with uniform thickness while reducing the likelihood of splits and cracks. This decreases the likelihood of damage in the stacking and drying processes.
  → Improved yield with less waste.
   
05 The amount of sanding required is reduced in the sanding process. Veneer yield for the face and back will be increased as the process allows for peeling of thinner veneers.
  → Improved plywood thickness.
   
06 With a smoother surface, veneer flexibility is increased and handling becomes easier.
  → Improved productivity.
