SELECTION GUIDE FOR TABLE INSERTS

This machine is supplied with 5 spindles, and four table inserts. The spindle diameters range from 1/4" to 2". When changing spindles, the table insert will need to be changed to the matching size. Each plate has notch ( ) to fit the alignment pin ( ) in the table to ensure that it is properly fitted and installed in the table opening.

FAILURE TO USE THE PROPER INSERT WITH THE CORRESPONDING SPINDLE MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE OR THE WORKPIECE.
