Homemade Guide Set-Up for Edge
Molding
Figure 27 shows a wooden guide set-up for
edge molding. The guides are C-clamped on
each side of the stock and are within 3/4” of the
top edge to provide maximum support so that
the narrow stock will travel beneath the knife.
Installing Single Pattern Knives
Custom pattern knives are easy to install and
adjust.
Always disconnect machine
from power source before changing knives
or molding bits.
1. Loosen the gib set screws and tap all gibs
down to release the planer knives.
2. Remove the planer knives, then the gibs
and jack screws. Clean the cutterhead slots
and the custom pattern knife thoroughly with
a nonflammable solvent to remove all wood,
dust, gum, and any protective coatings.
3. Re-install the jack screws. Install the
aluminum gib and then the pattern knife into
one of the cutterhead slots. See Figure 28.
Tighten the gib set screws. Double check
during this tightening, to insure against the
knife creeping up during the tightening
process. If necessary, tap the knife down
with a hard wood block until it has bottomed
out in the cutterhead slot.
4. Install one steel gib and the steel
counterweight in the second slot. Tighten
the gib set screws. (The steel gib and
counterweight are ground to balance the
cutterhead.) See Figure 29.
5. Install the other steel gib and counterweight
in the third slot and tighten the gib set
screws.
Do not interchange counter-
weights between sets of pattern knives. They
are properly sized for the one set. Machine
vibration may result if counterweights are
accidentally interchanged.
Installing Three-Knife Set
1. Loosen the set screws on the gib in the first
slot. Tap the gib down to release the planer
knives.
2. Insert the pattern knife next to the planer
knife, as shown in Figure 30. Note: Small
molder knives (1” and under) will require a
spacer.
