Operation - King Industrial KC-366SH Instruction Manual

Operational guidelines
Cutter Rotation
Counterclockwise Setup – With the cutter installed as shown in A, Fig.23, feed
the workpiece from right to left.
Clockwise Setup – With the cutter installed as shown in B, Fig.23, feed the
workpiece from left to right.
Using the Fence
Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method of shaping, and
should always be used when the work permits. Almost all straight work can be
used with the fence.
For average work, where a portion of the original edge of the work is not to be
touched by the cutter, both the infeed and outfeed fences are set in a straight
line as shown in A, Fig.24.
When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of the work, e.g. in jointing
or making a full bead, the shaped edge will not be supported by the outfeed
fence when both fences are in line, A Fig.24. In this case, the stock should be
advanced to the position shown in B, Fig.24 and stopped. Turn off the machine
and move the outfeed fence forward to contact the workpiece, C Fig.24.
Remove the workpiece, start the motor, and then continue the operation.
Warning: Always remove workpiece before starting the machine! This will
prevent kickback and potential serious injury.
Z Dimension
Before making a template (or using the edge of the workpiece) for shaper
cutting, the "Z" dimension must be established in order to determine the shape
and size of the finished stock. The "Z" dimension is the difference between the
innermost part of the cutter edge and the outside diameter of the ball bearing
follower (collar). See Fig.25.
Note: The "Z" dimension can be either positive or negative.
The "Z" dimension is positive if the cutter is larger than the collar bearing.
The "Z" dimension is negative if the cutter is smaller than the collar bearing.
Depth of Cut
The depth of cut is the distance from the outside circumference edge of the
collar (which the work rides against) to the outside edge of the cutter. The depth
of cut is determined by the position of the fence relative to the cutterhead and/or
by the use of shaper collars (see Fig.26).
