A method is presented for designing a curved pitch rail for veneer lathes. The use of a curved rail results in decreased veneer roughness and thickness variation for that part of a peeler block from 10 inches in diameter in to the core. Formulae and working tables are presented for calculating curved rail heights and positions for individual lathes. Curved rail installation instructions are provided.
