Although the correct depth of cut varies according
to wood hardness and workpiece width, we rec-
ommend the maximum depth of cut (per pass) be
no more than
5
⁄
16
" for boards less than 6" wide. A
series of light cuts will give better end results and
put less stress on the machine than trying to take
off too much material in a single pass.
To set upper cutterhead depth of cut:
1. Calculate amount of material to remove
from top of workpiece (i.e., final workpiece
thickness).
Tip: When determining upper cutterhead
depth of cut, take into consideration amount
of material to be removed by lower cutterhead
2. Adjust headstock height:
— Enter final workpiece thickness using digi-
tal control pad (refer to
Digital Controls
on
Page 39 for instructions).
— While viewing upper cutterhead depth-of-
cut scale, push UP or DOWN buttons on
headstock height switch to raise or lower
headstock to desired final workpiece thick-
ness. Use headstock height handwheel for
fine adjustment.
•
Use the headstock height switches (see
Figures 43–44) and the depth-of-cut scales
(see
Figures 43–44) to set a final workpiece
thickness.
Note: Alternatively, use the headstock height
handwheel (see
Figure 43) to precisely set
depth of cut in 0.1mm/0.004 in. increments.

Adjusting Infeed
Safety Guard
The infeed safety guard (see
Figure 45) provides
additional safety when feeding workpieces into
the machine. The guard helps shield the operator
from the feed track. It is equipped with an emer-
gency stop plate (see
Figure 45) that immedi-
ately stops all machine functions if contacted. The
height of the guard is adjustable. To adjust the
guard, loosen the two hex bolts (see
Figure 45)
that hold it in place and raise or lower the guard
according to pre-cut workpiece thickness.
