USING A C C E S S O RY
MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the
work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead in
the circular saw is a fast, safe and clean operation.The
many different knife shapes available make it possible for
the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings,
such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames,
table edges, etc.
The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can
be mounted various shapes of steel knives, as shown in
Fig. 113. Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a
groove in the cutterhead and securely clamped with a
screw.
The knife grooves should be kept free of sawdust
which would prevent the cutter from seating properly.
The moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. 116, is assembled to
the saw arbor as shown. Also, the accessory moulding
cutterhead table insert (B), must be used in place of the
s
tandard table insert.

IMPORTA N T:For certain cutting operations such as
dadoing and moulding where you are not cutting
completely through the workpiece, the blade guard
and splitter assembly cannot be used. Simply loosen
screws (G) and (H) Fig. 114. Lift up and swing blade
guard and splitter assembly (W) Fig. 115, to the rear
of the saw as shown in Fig. 115. CAUTION: Always
return and fasten the blade guard and splitter assem-
bly to its proper operating position for normal thru-
sawing operations.
