Motors and Bits 

Because the motors are enclosed in the machine, it is important that the maintenance guidelines 

provided in the manufacturer’s instruction manual are strictly observed.   

 

Periodically during operation, blow out the air passages on both motors with 30 PSI 

compressed air.  

 

Let motors rest/cool down after 2 hours of continual use. 

 

Use dust collection for clearing sawdust out of your machine case and creating air flow 

through the case to aid in cooling the motors.  

 

When cutting pockets in solid woods such as maple, oak, ash or alder the 

B00438

 4-flute 

HSS Cobalt bit can be used. Use of this bit is NOT recommended in particle board. 

 

If pockets are being cut in both types of materials (i.e., particleboard and hard wood) or if 

an exceptionally long bit life is desired, then it is suggested that the 

B00338

 solid carbide 

bit (shipped with your machine) be used.  Both bits are available through Castle, Inc. 

 

The pilot hole is made with a 

9

” drill bit, 

B02964

.  This size drill bit comes with your 

machine.  Also available are a
