Pattern Shaping:
1.Sometimes the location of the Taper Pin (56) holes on the Work Table (52) will not always be in the safest position. You can clamp a piece of scrap wood to the Work Table so the edge of the scrap wood can be used as the starting support.
(See Figure JJ.)
2.The use of patterns (templates) allows identical parts to be cut with speed and accuracy. Shaping with a pattern begins by attaching a prefabricated template to the rough workpiece. The edge of the template rides against a Rub Collar (98,
99, 100) on the Spindle (105) as the Cutter cuts the matching profile on the workpiece edge. Also, you can incorporate extra features into the template assembly (such as toggle clamps - not included) to hold the workpiece or you can use custom guards for safety and protection. (See Figure KK.)
CAUTION! Make sure to design jigs and fixtures so screws and clamps DO NOT contact the Cutter and the workpiece is held securely to the jig. The jig must be stable on the Work Table (52).
3.To make a template, design the assembly so that cutting will occur underneath the workpiece. Make sure screws or clamps will not come into contact with the Cutter.
4.Make handles for safety and control.
5.Use materials that will move easily across the Work Table (52) surface and Rub Collar (98, 99, 100).
6.Remember to consider the Cutter and Rub Collar (98, 99, 100) diameter when making the pattern.
