Adjustment of the flip-stops
Making a Template
For setting the flip stop positions a template of the
stile (upright section) is made. Mark the centre of
the positions on the cross-rails, incl. the top and
bottom rails (see fig. 2) on the stile.
1. To make the template, put the stile in the
machine. For the top and bottom rails always
start cutting from the end of the stile. Feed the
section in by 5 mm at each cut (to prevent
break out along the end grain). See fig. 1
2. When a few cuts have been made, align the
rail with the set mark and the centre line on
the nose knife (see fig. 2). Make a proper cut
in the position.
3. Bring the first stop forward against the end of
the template and lock it.
4. Flip this stop over and go to the next position
marked on the rail. Make the second cut and
bring the second stop to the same end of the
rail. Lock the stop in position. Continue the
procedure until all stops have been positioned
and set.
5. When setting the last stop, make a few 5 mm
cuts from the end and in (see fig. 1) (to pre-
vent break out) before setting the stop and
locking it.
6. The same template is used to position the
stops on the other side. Place the template on
the other side of the knife block up-side-down
when setting the stops. Bring the cutting block
into the existing notch cut outs and position
each stop in turn – as described above.
