Setting.Fences
The dovetail machine features HDPE (high density
polyethylene) plastic fences for both the horizontal and
vertical workpieces (see
Figure.24
). These fences are cut
into during operation to reduce tear-out.
The fences should be set so that the dovetails are evenly
distributed across the width of the workpiece. Setting the
fences requires attention to the "in" and "out" positions
of the tracer pin (see
Figure.25
). When the tracer pin is
in the "in" position, the cutter is cutting the workpiece.
When the tracer is in the "out" position, the cutter is
outside of the workpiece.
To.set.the.fences,.do.these.steps:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove the guard.
3.
Place the vertical workpiece on the support bar.
