The motor supplied with your new machine is rated at 1 HP and will draw approximately 14 amps.
220V Operation The Shop Fox® W1679 can also be operated at 220 volts. To do this, you must purchase the optional 220V magnetic switch that is shown in the parts diagram at the back of this manual. Also, you will need a NEMA-style 6-15 plug and outlet. The motor supplied with your new machine is rated at 1 HP and will draw approximately 7 amps during 220 volt operation. When choosing an outlet for this machine, consider using one with a 10 amp circuit breaker or fuse.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Unpacking Read and understand this entire instruction manual before performing any operations with your machine. Otherwise, serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. Do not risk your safety by not reading! ASSEMBLY The Model W1679 has been carefully packaged for safe transporting.
Shop Preparation Floor Load: Your Model W1679 represents a large weight load in a small footprint. While most commercial floors are suitable for this jointer, some residential floors may require additional bracing to support both machine and operator. • Working Clearances: Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your machine.
Beginning Make sure that your machine is unplugged during all assembly procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur. ASSEMBLY Although the main components of the Shop Fox® W1679 are assembled at the factory, some assembly is required. The following series of instructions are the recommended sequence best suited for final assembly. Mounting Jointer 1. Determine the best place for the jointer in your shop and place the cabinet stand in that location. 2.
4. Halfway between the two pulleys, lightly squeeze each side of the belt together to check the tension. Belt too loose? If each side of the belt squeezes toward each other more than 1⁄2", increase the tension by repeating steps 2 and 3. Figure 12. Pulley and V-belt alignment. 5. Check the V-belt pulley alignment. Minor adjustments may be made by loosening the pulley setscrew and sliding the pulley along the shaft. See Figure 12 for details.
4. 5. Place the 1⁄2" flat washer over the lock knob and install the special nut from underneath the fence support as shown in Figure 15. Lock Knob Make sure the splines on the special nut protrude into the adjustment slot, then insert the knob through the fence housing and thread the knob into the special nut. Tilt Knob Special Nut ASSEMBLY Cutterhead Guard 1. 2. Remove the setscrew from the slot in the end of the cutterhead guard shaft. Figure 15. Installing lock knob and special nut.
Belt Guard Attach the belt cover to the cabinet stand with the 5⁄16"-18 x 21⁄2" hex bolt as shown in Figure 18. Figure 18. Attach belt guard to stand with the hex bolt. Knife Gauge The knife gauge consists of a steel rod, two adjuster arms and two E-clips. To assemble the knife gauge: 1. Insert the steel rod through each adjuster arm. 2. Snap the E-clips into the grooves at the ends of the steel rod so your assembly looks like the knife gauge shown in Figure 19. Figure 19. Knife setting gauge.
ADJUSTMENTS Checking Knives Make sure that your machine is unplugged during any adjustment procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur. The cutterhead knives have been set at the factory and should require no adjustments when you first receive your jointer. However, it is always a good idea to verify the accuracy of any adjustments that will affect your finished product.
Adjusting Knives The knives in the Model W1679 come from the factory with jack screws installed. Springs are also included as an option for knife adjustments, depending on your preference. Figure 22 shows an illustration of the cutterhead components. The knife position should be as precise as possible in the cutterhead. All knives should be within .002" from one end to the other and within .002" from one knife to another. To adjust the knives: Figure 22. Understanding cutterhead assembly.
Table Gibs The table gibs allow you to control how easy the table moves up or down and control the precision of the table movement along the dovetail ways. Since the table gibs are factory set, they do not need to be adjusted unless the table is too loose or too tight when moving along the dovetail ways. (Always make sure the table lock is released before determining whether the table travel is too loose or too tight.) To adjust the table gibs: 1. Unplug the jointer! 2.
Figure 27. Straightedge centered on outfeed table and even with knife at top dead center. 5. Place a good quality straightedge across the length of the outfeed table and just over the cutterhead as shown in Figure 27. (This adjustment works best if the straightedge is placed in the center of the outfeed table.) 6. Using the handwheel under the outfeed table, raise or lower the outfeed table until the straightedge barely touches the edge of the knife. 7.
Fence Stops 45˚L Stop bolts on the back of the fence (shown in Figure 30) allow you to quickly and accurately move the fence to 90˚, 45˚ R (to the right) and 45˚ L (to the left). The position of these stops must be checked and possibly adjusted before they are used for the first time. 90˚ Fence-Tilt Lock Knob 45˚R The fence stops are simple hex bolts (a nut for 45˚ L) that thread in or out to match the depth required. Each fence stop has a jam nut to lock the stops in place for repeatable accuracy.
OPERATIONS Starting Jointer Always wear safety glasses during operations. Serious injury may occur if this is warning is ignored! Once assembly is complete and adjustments have been made, the jointer is ready for a test run. The purpose of a test run is to identify any unusual noises and vibrations, as well as to confirm the machine is performing as intended. Always keep loose clothing and long hair secured and away from moving parts.
Operation Musts • Never allow hands or push blocks to come within 4" of the cutterhead while it is moving. • Carefully inspect any lumber that you plan to run through the jointer. Some defects such as moderate twisting, loose knots or severe cracks may make the stock unusable. • Only use clean stock. See Figure 33. Remove all dirt, nails, staples, imbedded gravel, etc. from any lumber you plan on using. A hidden nail in a workpiece will instantly damage the sharp edges of the knives.
Surface Planing One of the most common operations on the jointer is surface planing. Surface planing produces one flat surface on a piece of stock as shown in Figure 35. After being surface planed, the stock is usually run through a thickness planer so the board thickness is consistent from one end to the other. Figure 36 shows an example of an operator using the jointer to surface plane a piece of wood stock.
Edge Jointing Edge jointing is passing the workpiece over the jointer on its edge as shown in Figure 37. This process makes the edges of a workpiece perfectly flat. Stock must be edge jointed on the concave side. The convex side should then be cut straight with a table saw. This process is commonly used to prepare the workpiece to be glued-up as part of a larger assembly or to simply salvage warped stock. Portion Removed With Jointer Figure 38 shows an example of an operator edge jointing.
Bevel Cutting Bevel cutting is very similar to edge jointing, but done with the fence tilted to a specific angle in order to produce an angled edge as shown in Figure 39. Usually bevel cuts are made on two boards that will be joined together at a corner. For bevel cuts, the model W1679 has preset stops at 45˚ L and 45˚ R. If a different angle is desired, use a bevel gauge to set the fence, then lock it in position.
Rabbet Cutting Rabbet Cut Rabbet cutting recesses a section of a workpiece edge to create a strong but simple joint. Figure 41 illustrates a basic rabbet cut and two common joints. Figure 42 shows an operator performing a rabbet cut. Notice that the fence is positioned close to the edge of the table. The operator’s body is not directly in line with the stock and he maintains a stable hand position while keeping the board firmly on the table and against the fence.
MAINTENANCE General Make sure that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur. Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1679 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary. Always wear safety glasses to prevent serious personal injury! 1. Loose mounting bolts. 2. Worn switch. 3.
Lubrication Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them. For the moving mechanisms on the fence assembly, an occasional application of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, wipe the fence clean. Lubricate the pivot points and move the fence back and forth as shown in Figure 44. Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust. Figure 44.
