A machine for machining workpieces, such as panels, planks, and sections. The machine includes a conveyor for conveying workpieces in an infeed direction past a plurality of operating stations fixed in position along a conveying line. A carriage cooperates with the conveyor to support and feed the workpieces. The carriage is coupled with the conveyor for conjoint movement in the feeding direction of the workpieces. The carriage cooperates with other members to form articulated quadrilateral that supports a bar in such manner that the angle formed between the axis of the bar and the conveying line is adjustable. The bar, together with the conveyor, provides support for workpieces being machined.
