Fence Adjustments; Changing Speeds And Adjusting Belt Tension - Delta 43-355 Instruction Manual

FENCE ADJUSTMENTS

IMPORTANT: The individual fence segments (A) should
be adjusted endwise so the opening is never more than
required to clear the spindle guard (B) and cutter (C), as
shown in Fig. 25. To adjust the fence segments (A)
endwise, loosen lock handles (D), adjust each individual
fence segment (A) and tighten lock handles (D). NOTE:
Lock handles (D) are spring-loaded and can be
repositioned by pulling out on the handle and
repositioning the hub of the handle on the serrated nut
located underneath the handle.
The complete fence assembly can be positioned on the
table in relationship to the cutter by loosening the two
knobs (M) Fig. 25, moving the fence assembly to the
desired position and tightening the two knobs (M). Each
fence half (E) and (H) Fig. 26, can be moved
independently in or out, depending on the type of
shaping operation that is being performed. To move
fence half (E) Fig. 26, in or out, loosen lock knob (F) and
turn adjusting knob (G) until the correct setting of the
fence (E) is obtained. Then tighten lock knob (F). Fence
half (H) is moved in the same manner by loosening lock
knob (J) and turning adjusting knob (K).
In order to do accurate shaping, both fence halves (A)
Fig. 25, must be parallel with each other. To check and
adjust, move both fence halves (A) in or out until they are
in line with each other. Using a straight edge check to
see if both fence halves are parallel with each other the
complete length of the fences. If an adjustment is
necessary loosen four screws (three of which can be
seen at (L) Fig. 26) and adjust the fences accordingly.
Then tighten the four screws (L).
CHANGING SPEEDS AND
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Lower the front panel of the shaper.
3. The shaper is supplied with a 2-speed motor pulley
(A) Fig. 27, that provides spindle speeds of 7,000 and
10,000 R.P.M. When the belt is on the smallest step of
the motor pulley (A), as shown in Fig. 27, the spindle
speed will be 7,000 R.P.M. When the belt is on the
largest step of the motor pulley (A) the spindle speed will
be 10,000 R.P.M.
4. To change speeds, loosen belt tension knob (B) Fig.
27, until the belt (C) can be moved to the desired step of
the motor pulley (A). Slide other end of belt up or down
on spindle sleeve so it is in alignment.
5. Adjust belt tension by tightening belt tension knob
(B) Fig. 27. Proper tension is obtained when knob (B)
ratchets (slips) while tightening.
