New Pegging Machine From Medway Makers
Two young Medway machinists have completed a pegging machine designed to revolutionize boot and shoe manufacturing. The double row device drives two pegs at once with two awls, two drivers, and two peg-wood strips, offering parallel rows and hand pegging appearance. It pegs across rear tops, allows selective operation of rows, reduces waste, and halves labor by enabling a long outside row and short inside row to run simultaneously.
