  • Page 16: Air Supply And Connections

    1-4 AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS: The Magnum requires 2.2 CFM of clean, dry air @ 90 PSI (8.5 CFM if air screwdriver and pre-drill is used) for proper operation. The air supply is connected to the machine at the filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) unit located on the outfeed end of the main frame (FIG 1-2).
  • Page 17 (see Figure 1-2). If the Norfield Vacuum unit was purchased with this machine, a cord end is provided on the backside of the machine (230V Phase 3 @ 10A) for automatic starting.

  • Page 18: Section 2: Operation

    SECTION 2: OPERATION 2-1 PREFACE: The following is a brief description of the operation procedures of the Magnum. It is recommended that before processing a door, the operator should make sure that the machine is properly adjusted for door width, undercut, hinge size and location, lock height, backset, size of lock and latch bores and size of the faceplate rout.

  • Page 19: Operating The Machine

    OPERATION 2-2 OPERATING THE MACHINE 1. Turn on SIZER, POWERFEED, and DRILLS motors (In that order). These motors should remain “ON” unless the machine is to be idle for an extended period of time. Please refer to figure 2.2 below. 2.
  • Page 20 OPERATION 3. Pick up a door and turn it up on edge so that it can be sighted for straightness. If a bow is noticed, place the door on the infeed bed so that the bow is toward the machine (if possible). This way the bow will be away from the stop on the jamb when the door is closed.
  • Page 21 OPERATION 11. Mortise the door and jamb. When the mortise is complete the router carriage should be stopped in the forward position over the door. This positions the router carriage so that when it is lifted it is captured in the appropriate position for lowering the next time. If you fail to do this, the next time the router carriage is lowered it will bring the bit down into the jamb.

  • Page 24: Section 3: Settings & Adjustments

    SETTINGS & ADJUSTMENTS SECTION 3: SETTINGS & ADJUSTMENTS: 3-1 REGULATOR SETTING: Set the regulator at 90 psi. The regulator adjustment knob is located on top of the regulator body. To adjust the pressure, lift the knob to unlock it, turn clockwise to increase the regulated pressure or counter-clockwise to reduce the pressure. Push the knob back in to “lock the setting.

  • Page 25: Adjustment For Door Width

    SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS 3-3 ADJUSTMENT FOR DOOR WIDTH: The top section can be raised or lowered to adjust the machine for any door width between 1-6 and 4-0. There are two methods for establishing door width: 1) index at 2” nominal widths 2) stop the width adjustment at any increment using the width scale.

  • Page 26: Undercut

    SETTINGS & ADJUSTMENTS 3-6 UNDERCUT: The Magnum is designed to size and bevel doors to an exact width. Since many doors come from the manufacturer at nominal width, most pre-hung door manufacturers size all doors 1/16” to 3/16” under nominal size. An 1/8” undercut is most common. A 2’-0” door undercut 1/8” would be 23-7/8” from the hinge edge to the long point of the bevel.

  • Page 27: Backset Adjustment

    Lock height is defined as the distance from the center of the lock bore to the top of the door. On the Magnum, lock height is determined by a door stop that references the top of the door to the Lock Drill and Latch Drill.

  • Page 28: Header Clearance

    4. Position the door so that you can see the line centered in the back-up block lock bore hole, then clamp the door. Norfield recommends that you draw a line on the back up block in the center bottom of the hole to increase accuracy of this step.

  • Page 29: Changing The Lock Bit

    2-3/4” backset because the bores will overlap. NOTE: Backup blocks must be exactly 3/4” thick or latch drill centering will be changed. Backup blocks can be purchased from Norfield Tools & Supplies @ 1-800-824-6242. 3-13 SANDER ADJUSTMENT: The sander is designed to relieve the sharp corners on the lock edge left by the sizer/ cutterhead.

  • Page 30: Changing The Butt Spacing

    SETTINGS & ADJUSTMENTS 3-14 CHANGING BUTT SPACING: From time to time you may need to change your butt spacing on an existing index bar, or set up a new index bar. To accomplish this, the following procedure is suggested: 1. If changing an existing index bar, use a metal scribe, mark the location of the index blocks when they are set for your standard spacing so you can accurately and quickly return them to standard.

  • Page 31: Changing Mortise Size

    SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS 3-15 CHANGING MORTISE SIZE: When all three stop tabs are in the path of the stop bolts (as shown in figure 3-7 below) the mortise will be 3-1/2” wide. As stop tabs are rotated out of the path of the stop bolts the mortise width will increase in 1/2”...

  • Page 32: Mortising Flat Jambs

    SETTINGS & ADJUSTMENTS 3-17 MORTISING FLAT JAMBS: When mortising flat jambs (jambs with no stop applied) the stop system shown below in figure 3-9 is used to control the movement of the router into the door and into the jamb. The stop dog is rotated to the “down”...

  • Page 36: Infeed Bed

    SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS SECTION 4: SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS This section describes special adjustments that may become necessary during the life of this machine. This includes those adjustments that will be necessary to make after certain parts are replaced. 4-1 INFEED BED: The infeed bed must be parallel with the outfeed bed. The combination of the four components - infeed bed, cutterhead, outfeed bed, and outfeed rollers add up to a bed-type planner (or Jointer).

  • Page 37: Infeed Bed Clutch

    SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS 4-2 INFEED BED CLUTCH: The clutch is located on the infeed bed pivot shaft inside the frame. The purpose of this clutch is to pro- vide the proper amount of friction for the infeed bed handle so that it can be adjusted and will stay where you leave it.

  • Page 38: Outfeed Rollers

    4-3 OUTFEED ROLLERS: To the right of the outfeed bed, facing the machine, there are four rollers called outfeed rollers. They are positioned at the factory and are referenced to the outfeed bed. It is not likely they will ever get out of adjustment.
  • Page 39 Moderately tighten 4 bolt that secure mandrel to frame. Tighten bottom set screw. Tighten 4 bolts securely. Replace cutterhead. 10. Place a beveled, straight-edge door on the outfeed bed. Pressing the door firmly against the machine, roll it to your left until the left end of the door is over the cutterhead. Using the pressure of the second powerfeed wheel to hold the door in place, rotate the cutterhead backwards.

  • Page 40: Cutterhead Replacement

    SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS 4-6 CUTTERHEAD REPLACEMENT: The condition of the cutterhead should be inspected daily. The cutterhead knives are carbide which means that anything metallic, either in the door or stuck to it, will chip or actually break one or more knives.

  • Page 41: Sander Drive Belt

    SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS Each wheel requires a bushing and a pair of 5/8” flat washers on either side of its hub. Reinstall bushings, wheels, and nuts (NOTE: left-hand treads on the long shaft). Lower the sander with the knob on top of the machine until the wheel is just touching the opening in the frame.

  • Page 42: Centering The Latch Drill In The Door

    SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS 4-11 CENTERING THE LATCH DRILL IN THE DOOR: If you process any doors with a 5” backset, then this adjustment, if required, should be made with the backset at 5”. Press door against Main Bar, roll it to door stop and clamp in the usual manner. Bore and drill for the lock and latch bolt.

    SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS 4-16 LATCH PLATE MORTISE DEPTH: To establish the vertical travel of the latch mortising assembly, lift the latch routing lever by activating the button in the handle (no door in the machine and with the motor switch off). Check to see that the base of the template guide on the control weldment does not touch the bottom surface of the template holder.

  • Page 47: Jamb Rack Adjustment

    SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS 4-18 JAMB RACK ADJUSTMENT: Angular Adjustment The jamb supports should be at a 90 degree angle from the face of the door. This can be checked using a framing square. The jamb rack (aluminum extrusion with eight (8) jamb supports) can be rotated to achieve the correct angle.

  • Page 48: Leveling The Router Carriage

    SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS Parallel Adjustment The jamb needs to be parallel with the edge of the door for consistent hinge mortising. This can be checked by raising the jamb to the correct height and checking the relationship between the face of the jamb and the edge of the door at both ends of the machine using a framing square set flat on the jamb and the edge of the door.
  • Page 49 SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS adjusting bolts equally to attain the 1/32” gap. Retighten the screws. If the jamb reference bars do not rest flat on the door edge, the following procedure will correct this (refer to figure 4-10). 1. Make sure that the door edge is square 2.

    2. Only use the correct inserts for this cutterhead for proper operation, The replacement blades are available from Norfield Tools and Supplies. 3. The head turns in excess of 7000 RPM and any imbalance will result in severely shortening the life of the bearings in the cutterhead mandrel, in addition to giving a poor finish to the door edge.
  • Page 53 For this reason if you do not have an in-plant air cleaning system, we suggest you contact the Norfield Service Department or your local air system supplier for assistance in correcting this problem. Water present in air cylinders and valves will severely shorten their life by up to 90%! Check the air filters daily see figure 3.1.
  • Page 54 MAINTENANCE 5-9 SANDER BELT: Inspect the sander drive belt weekly for tightness, cracks or hard spots at the splice. When adjusting the tension of the belt it is important not to over tighten the sander double V-belt as this will severely shorten the life of the belt.
