Our full-length arbor accepts
stacked dado sets up 13/16” wide.
Notice that there is no gap
between the threads and arbor
shank that can allow thin chippers
to hang out of line.
The bevel scale on the front of the cabinet has large, easy to read numerals and an adjustable pointer. We also added a pair of markers that can be placed as needed to make returning to often- used bevel angles fast and accurate.
A large, hinged motor cover provides easy access to the cabinet interior when needed. When closed, this cover enhances dust collection.
The full-length 5/8”-diameter arbor is precision machined from stress-proof steel to exceptionally high tolerances for accuracy. The arbor threads are specially designed to eliminate the frustrating dip between them and the shaft that can allow thin dado chippers to hang out of alignment with the rest of the stack.
The arbor length was designed to handle stacked dado sets at their full 13/16” width. The arbor rides in high end, pre-loaded bearings that insure super-smooth operation for decades to come.
A high quality poly-v belt drives the arbor through fully machined pulleys that guarantee the ultimate in concentricity. Poly-v belts are
far superior to regular v-belts, especially multiple v-belt configurations because they produce far less vibration. The poly-v belt also transmits more power without slippage and that translates to considerably less heat generated that could compromise the bearings. This efficiency of operation means that poly-v belts last far longer and require less maintenance.

hands farther from the blade. The 13 1/8” length of the wrench provides tremendous leverage to make loosening or tightening the blade nut a virtual no-strain task. We do ask that you apply that leverage wisely when tightening the blade nut. The blade rotation and cutting force work to tighten the blade-retaining nut, not loosen it. You need only tighten it firmly.
Table Surface
The 22”-long by 30 ½”-wide primary cast iron table surface expands to 42”-long when the standard cast iron extension wings are bolted up. All cast iron surfaces are finely ground to insure a smooth, mar-free work surface that provides more support for the big jobs. We even
