WINTER Spindle Moulder SF 45 DIGIT The false fence greatly reduces the exposure of dangerous parts Fig. 1.1.7 Fig. 1.1.8 c) A power feed device shall be used wherever possible to minimize the gap between the cutters and the main fence.
Page 14
WINTER Spindle Moulder SF 45 DIGIT 7. Direction of rotation It is most important that the tooling is fitted to the machine to operate in the correct direction of rotation. The operator shall ensure that the workpiece is fed to the tools against the direction of spindle rotation.
Page 15
WINTER Spindle Moulder SF 45 DIGIT On a vertical spindle molding machine the gap between the two halves of the straight fence has to be wide enough to give clearance for the cutters. This allows unnecessary exposure of the cutters, the cutter block and the spindle, and in addition the leading end of the workpiece may foul the edge of the take-off half of the fence.
