The collars may be used in any of the following
positions: above, below, or between the cutters.
When the collar is used below the cutter. The
progress of the cut can be seen throughout the
operation. However, any accidental lifting of the
work will gouge the wood and ruin the workpiece.
When the collar is used above the cutter, the cut
cannot be seen, but this method offers an
advantage in that the cut is not affected by slight
variations in the thickness of the stock. Also,
accidental lifting of the workpiece will not gouge
the workpiece; simply repeat the operation to
correct the mistake.
Using the collar between two cutters has the
advantages and disadvantages of the first two
procedures, and is frequently used where both
edges of the work are to be molded.
Freehand Shaping
Freehand shaping requires precise control of the
workpiece and should only be performed by advanced
users.
Use the provided starting pin or a custom-made pivot
board to initiate a cut.
Never start freehand shaping at a corner.
WARNING
Proceed freehand shaping with extreme caution as there is a higher risk of
accidental cutter contact and cutter catches in the workpiece. These accidents can
result in serious injuries.
