The Hoffmann Dovetail Routing Machine model MU-2P is designed to rout dovetail shaped
keyways in hard and softwoods as well as wood related sheet goods, such as particleboard,
MDF, plywood, MDO, etc.
The material is placed on the machine table, the proper location is established with either a steel
fence plate for miter joints, or with square stops for butt joints. The pneumatic hold-down clamp is
lowered to within 1/8" of the workpiece and locked in place.
Depressing the foot pedal activates the hold-down clamp and secures the workpiece. With the
workpiece clamped securely, the router motor is turned on and raised up automatically and the
spinning router bit moves up into the material. A height adjustment rod is used to set the routing
height. When the pre-set height is reached, a pneumatic valve is triggered and the motor returns
to it's resting position and is shut off. A pneumatic valve is triggered when the motor has reached
it's home position, this valve releases the material clamp and the workpiece is removed from the
machine table by the operator.
WARNING:
The machine is equipped with an automatic ON/OFF feature, depressing the foot pedal starts the
router motor immediately and releasing the pedal returns the motor to its home position.
