This unique machine completely finishes 85% of the
bassoon reed blade with exacting precision by utilizing a mini gouging
blade coupled with a round roller bearing to follow the template. The
threaded drive system rotates the reed during the process permitting very
precise profiling of the blade. The "plaque" is specially designed to
allow the blade to remain flat and not split. The "mandrel" is flexible
also to allow the reed to "relax" during the process. All of this adds up
to incredible precision!
