Cutting Types
1. Miter Cutting
Miter cutting can be done in two ways with the Hercules®
Deluxe Hot Wire Table: by adjusting the spool carrier on the
overarm or with the adjustable angle/ miter gauge.
Adjusting the spool carrier
: loosen the screws
1
and
2
(Fig. 3) and
select the required angle by sliding the spool carrier. Tighten the
screw
1
again and tension the wire as usual.
Note:
Adjusting the spool carrier will lengthen the heated part of
the wire and thus increase the electrical resistance. The
temperature must be adjusted accordingly.
