SPINDLE TILTING

The machine should come to a complete stop before the spindle is tilted, and the insert with the oval slot should be placed into the table. Make sure the cutter does not touch the table or the fence when in tilted position.

1.Loosen the knob (C) on the front handwheel (D). See Figure 29.

2.Loosen the two locking handles (E) on both sides of the machine.

3.Turn the handwheel (D) to the required tilting angle shown on the indicator (F).

4.Tighten the knob (C) and locking handles (E).

FENCE ADJUSTMENT

1.To adjust the aluminum fence halves endwise, loosen the two fence locking levers (C-Figure 17), slide the fence halves to the required positions and tighten locking levers.

!

CAUTION: The aluminum fence halves

 

should be adjusted inward so that the

 

 

opening at the spindle is just enough to

 

 

clear the cutter.

 

2.

The right fence half (infeed) can be moved inde-

 

pendently, in or out, depending on the type of shaping

 

operation that is being performed. See Figure 30. To

 

move the right fence half in or out, loosen the locking

 

knob (A) and turn the adjusting knob (B). Precise

 

movements are possible by using the dial indicator

 

beneath the knob. When finished, re-tighten locking

 

knob (A).

 

3. The complete fence assembly can be rapidly

 

positioned on the table by loosening two locking

 

handles (C) and moving the fence assembly to de-

 

sired position by rotating the handwheel (D). Use the

 

dial indicator for more precise measurement. Re-

FIGURE 30
