Woodstock W1410 manual Attaching the front rail Step

Figure 2. Attaching the front rail.

Step 3.

If the front and back mounting holes do not line up with the existing holes in the table top, you will need to drill and tap new mounting holes in the table top.

Position the back rail according to the instructions in Step 1. Clamp the rail to the table saw using C- clamps or bar clamps. The use of wood clamping blocks will ensure a secure, non slip set-up. Mark the oval mounting holes on the edge of the table. Remove the rail and centerpunch the middle of the outlined slots on the table edge. Refer to Step 2 for positioning the front rail and repeat this process for the front rail.

Step 4.

At each centerpunch location, drill a 1⁄8" diameter starter hole, then drill a 5⁄16" hole using the bit sup- plied with the Shop Fox® Fence. It is not necessary to use cutting oil when drilling cast iron.

Step 5.

Tap each hole with the 3⁄8" - 16 tap supplied. Hold the tap in a tap wrench if one is available. If a tap wrench is not available use a 3⁄8 " or 1⁄2" electric drill that is set on slow speed. Treat it as though it were a drill bit. After the first few rotations how- ever, the tap will invariably start slipping in the

drill chuck. Loosen the chuck, detach the tap and continue turning the tap into the hole with an adjustable wrench. Advance the tap half a turn, back it out half a turn, advance another half turn, etc. until the tip of the tap extends 1⁄2" beyond the hole. Back the tap out and proceed to the next hole. It is not necessary to use cutting oil when tapping cast iron.

Step 6.

Mount the front rail with the 3⁄8''-16 x 1'' Hex Bolts and Flat Washers provided. Figure 3. It is impera- tive that the front rail mounts flat against the front edge of the table. If there is a gap between the front rail and the extension wing, it is a good idea to loosen the wing and move it over until it touches the rail. This will add extra support to the front rail.

Step 7.

Mount the rear rail with the 3⁄8''-16 x 1'' Hex Bolts and Flat Washers provided. There should be 2 flat washers between the rear rail and the table top. Figure 4.
