Pattern Work & Jigs
When using a pattern, the rub collar can be posi-
tioned either above, below or between cutters.
The pattern is usually used when the entire edge
is to be shaped or when many duplicate pieces
are needed. Pattern work is particularly useful
when rough cutting irregular or oversize pieces
and then shaping the edge in a simple two-step
operation. A pattern can be incorporated into a jig
by way of adding toggle clamps, hand holds or
other safety devices.
You have greater flexibility when choosing the
correct diameter rub collar for pattern work than
for non-pattern work. If you look at Figure 28, you
will notice that the position of the pattern deter-
mines the depth of cut. In other words, your pat-
tern size is dependent upon the interrelationship
of the cutting circle, the desired amount of mate-
rial removed, and the rub collar size. Changing
one or more of these will change the amount of
material removed. Planning ahead, you can most
effectively decide which rub collars are best suit-
ed for your application.
