This rotary latch is fitted to the right hand side of the infeed table, and
engages with a machined stud, set in the rear trunnion of the machine.
During overhand planing operations, to ensure the inline accuracy of the
tables, both tables must be locked down. Conversely, during adjustments
the locks must be OFF, to allow the tables to move freely, then relocked. The
locks are obviously disengaged to allow the tables to be 'swung up and out
of the way' during thicknessing.
Exactly as the infeed table, excepting that the pivoting mechanism and the
locking mechanisms are on the same side of the machine as the infeed table.
Normally the outfeed table is set to the height of the plane irons, and is not
adjusted after this, unless the machine is to be used for 'stopped' chamfers
or the like.
Mirror of the infeed table lock.
This is a metal bar fitted to the edge of the outfeed table that extends across
to the infeed table and ensures ordered sequence of the tables being raised
or lowered. i.e., the outfeed table must be raised before the infeed table, and
the infeed table must be lowered before the outfeed table.
A 75mm diameter block fitted with three knives. The block is mounted in
sealed bearings housed in the machine trunnions.
A series of mechanical 'fingers' mounted across the mouth of the infeed to
the thicknessing table which prevent the stuff being 'kicked' back when it
engages with the cutter block knives.
A rigid 100mm diameter extraction hood that is permanently mounted to the
machine. During overhand planing it is swung down into the void between
the cutter block and the thicknessing table, where it acts as the underside
guard and chip 'catcher'; during thicknessing it is swung up and over the
table where it acts as the overhand guard and chip deflector/extractor.
over the cutter block to enable the stuff to be passed under it. It can be
locked in position once it has been set.
A dished aluminium extrusion that guards the 'active' side of the cutter block
(i.e. the part of the cutter block in front of the fence). It is carried in a slide
mounting on the end of the arm and can be locked in place once it has been
positioned.
trunnion. It has a housing machined into it to mate with the base plate of the
fence assembly. The bridge of the bracket has a star bolt threaded though it
which is tightened down onto the base plate of the fence assembly to
hold it in position.
