Cutter.Height
The cutter height dictates the tail height on the vertical
workpiece and the socket height on the horizontal
workpiece (see
Figure.30
).
The cutter height range is restricted by the size of the
cutter (see
Figure.31
). The lowest point of the cutting
edge should never be set above the bottom of the
workpiece.
A taller cutter height is stronger due to larger tails and
pins, so maximizing the cutter height is preferred in most
situations.

1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Place the horizontal workpiece on the horizontal
table against the fence, and clamp the workpiece
