Supporting the Workpiece and Adjusting the Vise and Fence System (Figs. 3 & 4)

The adjustable vise and fence system holds the workpiece in the desired position. The vise plate and fence can be moved backward or forward and can be adjusted to any angle between 90° and 45°.

When adjusting the system, the vise and fence should be positioned so the centerline of the wheel hub is in line with or behind the centerline of the workpiece, toward the rear of the tool (Fig. 3). The workpiece should be resting flush with the base of the machine.
