Overview - Center Fence Plate and Square Stop
Hoffmann Dovetail Joining Machines are equipped with an innovative fence system for joining miter joints at any
angle as well as square or butt joints, end-to-end joints, etc.
MU-3 series machines are equipped with a Center Fence Plate (1) and a Square Stop (2).
Adjusting the center fence plate in or out determines the locations along the miter face at which the dovetail
keyways are being routed.
Once set and locked in place, left and right hand parts are processed for perfectly aligned miter joints.
The standard 45 degree fence plate allows for processing of up to 120mm
– 4 3/4” wide moulding.
Wider material can be processed with optional Inside Corner Fences.
Custom parts with miter cuts other than 45 degrees, as well as square joints can be processed with the included
square stop.
The recessed tape scales in both the table and rear fence are used to accurately set the square stop.
