USE OF ACCESSORIES
MITRE GUIDE
Most crosscut work, especially with small pieces is
more easily controlled with the use of a mitre guide
The mitre guide is also essential for accurate mitre
and compound mitre cuts. The guide is graduated
to 45
O
for both left and right hand angles.
RIP FENCE
True, straight line rip cutting, is best done by guiding
the work against the rip fence. On this bandsaw the
fence can be attached to both the front and rear
of the work table, by a single screw which engages
with the end of the table, holding the rip fence firmly
at the desired location.
The fence can also be used for cutting off to exact
widths.
CIRCLE CUTTING ATTACHMENT
The circle cutting attachment mounts on the arm
of the upper guide block. Accurate circles can be
cut with a radius of 50 mm to 200mm. Assemble as
shown in the illustration opposite
Make the first cut to the perimeter of the circle
freehand before setting the pivot pin, into the work.
The pivot pin must be aligned exactly in line with
the blades' tips. If the pivot is too far back (i.e. to
the rear of the blade), the blade will run outside
the desired circumference - if too far forward, the
blade will run inside the desired circumference.
Ensure the Upper guide block is secured as close to
the workpiece as possible.
POWER BELT SANDER
Remove the blade and fit a sanding belt.
Make sure that the blade support bearings and
blade guides, (both upper and lower), are secured,
and well clear of the abrasive sanding belt.
Two sanding belt supports are provided. They are
of right angle construction, one with a straight face,
and one slightly curved. Screw the appropriate
support into the threaded hole in the work table,
(near the table insert) with the hex. screw provided.
Adjust the support so that it lightly touches the belt.
