OPERATIONS
It is necessary when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood-
facing to one or both sides of the rip fence. The wood-facing is
attached to the fence with wood screws. 3/4’’ stock is suitable for
most work.
Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead
below the surface of the table. Turn the saw on and raise the
cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing.
Make sure not to cut into the rip fence. Fig.34 shows a typical
moulding operation. NEVER USE THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
IN A BEVEL POSITION.
IMPORTANT: NEVER RUN THE STOCK BETWEEN THE FENCE
AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD AS IRREGULAR SHAPED
WOOD WILL CAUSE KICKBACK.
When moulding end grain, the miter gauge is used. The feed should
be slowed up at the end of the cut to prevent splintering. In all cuts,
attention should be given to the grain, making the cut in the same
direction as the grain whenever possible.
ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD AFTER OPERATION IS
COMPLETE.
USING ACCESSORY DADO HEAD
Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or a wide groove into the work. Dado
head sets (optional acc# KSC-8000) are made up of two outside
saws and four or five inside cutters, as shown in Fig.35. Various
combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8’’
to 13/16’’ for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving ,etc.
The cutters are heavily swaged and must be arranged so that this
heavy portion falls in the gullets of the outside saws as shown in
Fig.36. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig.37, (A) being the
outside saw, (B) being the inside cutter, and (C) a paper washer or
washers which can be used as needed to control the exact width of
the groove. A 1/4’’ groove is cut by using the two outside saws. The
teeth of the saws should be positioned so that the raker on one saw
is beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.
The dado head set (A) Fig.38, is assembled to the saw arbor in the
same manner as the saw blade. The guard, splitter and anti-kickback
finger assembly cannot be used when dadoing and must be
removed from the saw, as shown. Also the accessory dado head
table insert (B-Acc# KW-065) Fig.38, must be used instead of the
standard table insert (Acc# KW-064).
NEVER USE THE DADO HEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION.
ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD AFTER OPERATION IS
COMPLETE.
