Stave-how′el-ing ma-chine′.

The cooper's howel is a plane for smoothing the insides of staves or of barrels about where the croze comes.

Howel and croze.

Fig. 5582 is a tool in which the howel and croze are combined. The crozing portion, shown in the lower figure, is removable from the case carrying the howeling bit when the former is not needed.

In howeling-machines the work is performed either on the staves separately, or after they are set up in barrel form. In the latter case it is frequently associated with devices for crozing and chamfering.
