Grooving and drawing machines are machine tools used to cut grooves in workpieces. They can be used to cut grooves in a variety of materials including wood, metal, plastic and other materials. Grooving machines work by inserting a tool that engages the groove and removes the material as it rotates. The groove depth and width is determined by the setting of the tool and the speed of the machine. Drawing machines operate by inserting a tool attached to a drawstring that is pulled through the groove. This creates a shearing motion that removes the material and creates the groove. Grooving and drawing machines are used in a variety of industries, including woodworking, furniture manufacturing, cabinetmaking and window and door frame manufacturing. They are also used in the automotive, engineering and electronics industries.
