C. PATTERN WORK

When using a pattern, the rub collar can be positioned either above, below, or in-between cutters. See Figure 20.

The pattern is usually used when the entire edge is to be shaped or when many duplicate pieces are needed. Pattern work is particularly useful when rough cutting irregular shapes oversize and then shaping the edge in a simple two-step operation. A pattern can be incorporated into a fixture by way of adding toggle clamps, hand holds, or other safety devices.

Figure 20

You have greater flexibility when choosing the correct diameter rub collar for pattern work than for non-pattern work. If you look at Figure 20, you’ll notice that the position of the pattern determines the depth of cut. In other words, your pattern size is dependent upon the inter-relationship of cutting cir- cle, the desired amount of material removed and the rub collar size. The cutting circle is the given in the equation, while the pattern and the rub collar size are the variables. Changing one or both of these will change the amount of material removed. Planning ahead, you can best decide which rub collars are best suited for your application.

XIII. SHAPING

A. STRAIGHT STOCK

When shaping straight stock, use the fence assembly. See the fence adjustment section for infor- mation on aligning fences.

1.Select the appropriate cutter and lock onto the spindle.

2.Check cutter rotation.

3.Adjust the spindle height to align the workpiece to the cutter. See the spindle height section for details.

4.Lock the spindle into position.
