9.7 Table ring removal and
installation
Disconnect the machine from power source,
unplug!
The rings should easily lift out of the table insert.
The table insert has three setscrews that can raise
and lower the insert. The insert should be slightly
lower than the table. Keep the rings and insert
clean to prevent them from sticking. If the rings are
difficult to remove from the insert:
1. Remove any collet or spindle assembly in the
spindle.
2. Lower the spindle assembly.
3. Place a scrap of piece of wood between the
ring to be removed and the spindle.
4. Raise the spindle until the ring lifts out.
5. Clean rings and insert thoroughly.
10.0 Operation
10.1 Spindle control
To raise or lower spindle:
1. Loosen spindle lock handwheel found on the
left side of the cabinet.
2. Raise or lower spindle to desired height by
turning handwheel found on the front side of
the cabinet. There is an indicator scale found
by the handwheel, which will aid with raising
and lowering measurements.
3. Tighten spindle lock handwheel.
10.2 Using the fence as a guide
Shaping with the fence is the safest and most
satisfactory method of working. This method
should always be used when work permits. Almost
all straight work can be used with the fence.
1. For most work, where a portion of the edge of
the work is not touched by the cutter, both the
front and rear fences are in a straight line, as
shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8
2. When the shaping operation removes the
entire edge of the work (i.e. jointing or making
a full bead), the shaped edge will not be
supported by the rear fence when both fences
are in line as shown in Figure 9. In this case,
the work piece should be advanced to the
position shown in Figure 9 and stopped.
Figure 9
3. The rear fence should be advanced to contact
the work as shown in Figure 10. The rear
fence will then be in line with the cutting circle.

10.3 Shaping with collars and
starting pin
Follow these rules when shaping with collars and
starting pin for safest operation and best results:
1. Collars must be smooth and free from all gum
or other substances.
2. The edge of the work must be smooth. Any
irregularity in the surface, which rides against
the collar, will be duplicated on the shaped
surface.
3. A portion of the work's edge must remain
untouched by the cutter so that the collar will
have sufficient bearing surface. Figure 11
shows an example of insufficient bearing
surface.

4. Figure 12 illustrates sufficient bearing
surface.
