Horizontal Toggle Clamp
The horizontal toggle clamp, similar to those illustrated, is
especially useful when ordinary "C" clamps will not allow the
freedom of movement often required in shaping. The toggle
clamp also allows the operator to firmly control the workpiece
without the additional pressure required to keep workpiece
and template together by hand. Anchor points, such as
dowels, are required with this type setup.
Special Cuts
The illustrations in this section shown the profile, or section, views made by the cutter(s). The
most efficient cutters are carbide tipped to ensure clean and long-term cutting. Small cutters
may be solid carbide, and some use inserts. Since there are such a wide variety of choices, the
operator is limited only by his experience and imagination.
Stacked Cutters
In addition, a variety of interesting and timesaving cuts can be
made in a single setup by stacking the cutters. When the
operator stacks the cutters, extra care should be taken to see
that all parts are clean, free of nicks and flaws, and perfectly
balanced in the stacked position.
Sash and Door Shaping
Shaping a door still requires two operations. This figure
shows the sash cut for the first operation.
This figure shows the stock flipped over and the sash
cutter used with a 1/4" groove cutter to complete the cut.
