Position the power feeder on the table top to
determine where to drill the base mounting holes
in order to maximize power feeder swing and
adjustment options.
Use the included base-bolt pattern template to
align the mounting holes. Consider the available
mounting choices for your needs:
Through-Bolt
Mounting and Direct Mounting (discussed on
Page 18).
With either mounting choice, leave room to oper-
ate the hand cranks and lock levers to position the
rubber rollers parallel with the table surface and
approximately
1
⁄
8
" lower than the thickness of the
workpiece.
Also, aim the front of the power feeder slight-
ly towards the machine fence (see
Figure 9)
with approximately 1° to 1.5° toe-in toward the
machine fence, so the rubber rollers lightly push
the workpiece against the fence during cutting
operations.
If cutting long or large stock that is difficult to feed
properly, use a featherboard before the power
feeder (on the infeed side) to maintain even pres-
sure and control of the workpiece against the
fence.
