7. ORBITAL MECHANISM
7.1 Blade Movement
In the Model CJ 110V, the orbital mechanism moves the blade up-and-down and forward-and-backward in
the same manner as the Model CJ 65V2. This makes the blade dig well into wood and other soft materials
and also discharges cutting chips well to achieve speedy cutting. The amount of fore-and-aft blade
movement can be adjusted just by turning the change knob to any of the four settings. The following table
shows the modeled orbits of blade movement at each orbital position (change knob position).
7-2. Orbital Position Selection
Selection of the most appropriate orbital position for each cutting job is essential to achieve the best
efficiency for cutting. However, as the best orbital position depends on such factors as the hardness and
thickness of the workpiece, the desired finish of the cut surface, and so on, it is not practical to set a single,
simple standard for best orbital position selection. The table (next page) can be used as a general guide for
appropriate orbital position selection based on various factors.
