Figure 42. Using the guide rails.

Size Workpiece Appropriately

Make sure to cut your workpiece to the correct width for

the knife being used (see Figure 41). To improve knife life

and workpiece results when cutting in very hard woods,

use a table saw to rabbet out some of the profile before

running the workpiece through the planer/moulder.

Never cut into moulding that is wider than the knife.

Otherwise, the knife will overheat, burn the wood, and

dull rapidly.

Always Use Guide Rails When Moulding

Make sure to use the guide rails (see Figure 42), so the

moulding profile can be cut with maximum safety and

without wander, twisting, or profile misalignment.

Do not attempt to cut moulding without using the guide

rails. Otherwise, the workpiece could shift and be ejected

from the machine, or the moulding pattern could be

inconsistent from one strip of molding to another.
