Measuring Scale De-Luxe
Principle:
The measuring scale engraved in the table indicates the distance from the right knife in
inches. E.G. the line marked 8 has a distance of 8 inches from the right knife.
Outside measurement:
To make a frame of 8 x 6 inches outside measurement proceed as follows:
Cut the right hand side of the moulding to 45
°
. Place the moulding on the table so that the
end of the moulding is exactly at the line marked 8.
Push the movable stop beam (25) against the end of the moulding, and tighten it by means
of the stop block (23) and star wheel (24).
Cut two pieces of moulding.
Repeat the procedure as described above, but use the line marked 6 instead of 8.
Inside measurement:
To make a frame of 8 x 6 inches inside measurement proceed as follows:
Cut the right hand side of the moulding to 45
°
. Place the moulding on the table so that the
corner between the start of the rebate and the end of the moulding is exactly at the line
marked 8.
Push the movable stop beam (25) against the end of the moulding, and tighten it by means
of the stop block (23) and star wheel (24).
Cut two pieces of moulding.
Repeat the procedure as described above, but use the line marked 6 instead of 8.
You can now make a frame which fits a picture of 8 x 6 inches.
The same procedure is adopted for machines engraved in metric.
