Degree Adjustment of Fences
(Fig. E-3-1)
The fences (17) + (18) can be adjusted as required (from the factory they are adjusted to 45°
for a double mitre).
If, for instance, you want to make a 6-sided (hexagonal) frame the following procedure is
used:
6 pieces of moulding are cut in the normal way at 45° so that the inside measurement of
each piece of moulding is equal to the finished inside measure of the frame plus approx. the
width of the rebate.
Hand levers (19) and (20) are loosened and the fences are turned according to the scales
(21) + (22) to 60°.
The degree adjustment is read by means of the mark.
After the adjustment the hand levers (19) and (20) are fastened again, and all moulding ends
are cut separately at 60° - single mitre.
Exact Adjustment of the Fences (Fig. E-3-2)
When the fences have been adjusted to degrees other than 45°, the correct re-adjustment to
45° is made as follows:
Place a straight steel rule against the measuring scale (26) so that it overlaps the whole of
the right fence (18). Now, adjust the right fence (18) according to the steel rule, and the right
fence (18) will be adjusted to exactly 45°.
Place the steel rule against the right fence (18) (now exactly adjusted at 45°), so that it
overlaps the whole of the left hand fence and proceed as mentioned above with the
adjustment of the left fence (17).
