If it is desired to square both ends, or joint both sides, of a board,
simply reverse the board in the machine and repeat the operation.
If there is a significant crown to the board, place the highest point of
the crown under the cutting head. This will allow the machine to
measure the highest point of the crown and will prevent the
machine from taking and excessive cut. Use the
Repeat shortcut
key as many times as necessary
to eliminate
the crown.
_
ARNING:
Use only a 3/8" straight
bit for jointing
or squaring.
Any other bit can cause damage to the workpiece
or machine
and can result in serious injury.
Bevel and Miter Cuts
Bevel
cuts are cut at an angle across the thickness
of the workpiece.
A
typical bevel cut application
would be seen in making small boxes where
the corners are formed by two 45-degree
bevel cuts.
Miter cuts are cut at
an angle across the width of a workpiece.
A typical application
would be a
picture frame.
Once the Miter shortcut key is pressed user will be
prompted
to choose
either the Bevel or Miter type of cut and then the
desired angle.
For bevel cuts there will also be the option to Cross or Rip
depending
on what edge will be beveled.
A Cross bevel will ALWAYS
be
applied to the left end of the board and a Rip bevel will ALWAYS
be
applied to the far side of the board as explained
in Figure 14. Finally,
there will be a prompt to insert a 1/4" Ballnose
bit (not included'
for bevel
cuts or a 1/8" Cutting bit (included)
for a miter cut.
To repeat the last Bevel or Miter cut to multiple
boards, s_mply raise
the head, remove
the previous
board from the machine,
load a new
the board, set the sliding guide plate, lower the head, and press
Repeat.
Routing an Edge
The Edge Rout function allows the user to rout the edges of a rectangular
board with a shaped bit. Various decorative
edge effects can be
achieved,
depending
on the available
bit selection.
The user will be
prompted
to select the edges to rout. Choices
include:
an End, an Edge,
or All Edges.
If Edge is selected
the rout will ALWAYS
be applied to the
far side of the board and if End is selected the rout will ALWAYS
be
applied to the left end of the board as explained
in Figure 14. Finally,
there will be a prompt to select a bit from the selection
menu.
After the
first rout operation
the LCD will ask if the depth is OK.
To repeat the last Edge Rout to multiple boards, simply raise the
head, remove the previous
board from the machine,
load a new the
board, set the sliding guide plate, lower the head, and press
Repeat.
