BEVEL RIPPING
Bevel ripping (Fig. 74) is the same as ripping except the
bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0°.
When possible, place the fence on the right
side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from
the fence and hands. keep your hands clear of the blade
and use a pushstick to feed the workpiece if there is less
than 6" between the fence and the blade.
Use caution when starting the cut to prevent
binding of the guard against the workpiece.
USING A MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the
workpiece with a special moulding cutterhead.
The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can
be mounted various shapes of steel knives (Fig. 75). Each
of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in the
cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw. Keep the
knife grooves free of sawdust to allow the cutter to seating
properly.
For certain cutting operations (dadoing and
moulding) where the workpiece is not cut completely
through, the blade guard and splitter assembly cannot be
used. Loosen screws at (G) and (H) Fig. 76. Lift and remove
the blade guard and splitter assembly (W).
Use pushsticks, hold-downs, jigs, fixtures,
or featherboards to help guide and control the workpiece
when the guard cannot be used.
NOTE: The outside arbor flange cannot be used with the moulding cutterhead. Tighten the arbor nut against the cutterhead body.
Do not lose the outside arbor flange. It will be needed when reattaching a blade to the arbor.
Always return and fasten the blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper operating position for
normal thru-sawing operations.
