4. Once drill bits reach full depth, slide
jointer body backward, allowing bits to
retract into base.
5. Turn doweling jointer OFF and wait
for motor to come to a complete stop
before setting tool down.
Gluing Dowels
Once all doweling holes have been drilled,
test-fit dowels with a "dry fit" prior to the
glue-up. Place a dowel in each groove,
and fit the pieces together to check for
proper alignment.
Once a proper fit is verified, apply glue to
workpiece edges and holes, insert dowels
into holes, then clamp according to the
needs of the material and the glue manu-
facturer's instructions.
Model T32540 (Mfd. Since 10/20)
Using Tool Jigs
The Model T32540 is equipped with jig
teeth and a jig bar to enable fast and
accurate drilling with various doweling
jigs (not included) for high volume, repeti-
tious use. The operator can also construct
shop-made doweling jigs for this tool, but
building such a jig is beyond the scope of
this manual.
Note: Properly measure and mark your
workpieces to avoid incorrect doweling
placement and wasted material.
To operate tool with doweling jigs:
1. Secure jig(s) to workpiece in required
position after measuring.
2. Verify alignment of jig teeth or jig bar
with jig(s) (see Figure 23).
