Setting Fences
The dovetail machine features HDPE (high den-
sity polyethylene) plastic fences for both the
horizontal and vertical workpieces (see Figure
24). These fences are cut into during operation to
reduce tear-out.
The fences should be set so that the dovetails
are evenly distributed across the width of the
workpiece. Setting the fences requires attention to
the "in" and "out" positions of the tracer pin (see
Figure 25). When the tracer pin is in the "in" posi-
tion, the cutter is cutting the workpiece. When the
tracer is in the "out" position, the cutter is outside
Wing
of the workpiece.
