Operating the Spindle Moulder
It is assumed that anyone purchasing a spindle moulder has been trained to operate this type of
machine competently. Such training is beyond the scope of this manual.
Spindle rotation speeds:
1500rpm - Drum Sanding *
4500rpm - Moulding Hardwoods
6500rpm - Moulding Softwoods
8500rpm - Routing *
* It should be noted that sanding and routing accessories are optional extras.
Limiters: Never use a cutter block without limiters fitted.
Fences: Close the two fences together so the edges are just missing the cutter. This improves the
support for the work piece and is best practise for safety reasons.
Always adjust the fences so that the work is fully supported. If the cut removes the whole edge of
the work piece, step the out-feed fence forward as appropriate.
Set the vertical hold down to contact the top of the work piece.
Set the front guard spring to hold the work piece up against the fences.
Use a push stick to feed small work pieces through the cutter block.
Always feed the work against the direction of rotation (from right to left).
