4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE FL 900V
JOINTING MACHINE
The FL 900V jointing machine is especially
designed for making slots in panels for inserting
joint splines.
The angle and height of the head are adjustable,
which means you can make any type of joint
quickly and accurately. The machine comes
equipped with a channel chip outlet and a con-
nector for coupling it to an external suction sour-
ce.
5. DEPTHS ADJUSTMENT
For nº0, nº10 or nº20 (Fig. 1, 2 and 3) splines, set
the adjustment at position 0, 10 or 20, respective-
ly, to obtain a depth of 8, 10 or 12 mm.

7. LAYING OUT THE SLOTS
A pencil line is enough for this operation (Fig. 4
and 5). Position the reference mark on the
machine against it (Fig. 6, 7 and 8). Pencil lines
can be made using a ruler or a template, or even
by eye.
8. JOINTING
8.1 JOINTING TO A PLANE SURFACE
For 16, 19 and 22 mm boards (for boards larger
than these use the movable front part and the
movable fence):
Place the piece to be assembled on the edge of
the previously drawn pencil line as shown in (Fig.
9). Mill the vertical grooves as shown in (Fig. 10)
and the horizontal grooves as shown in (Fig. 11).
Glue and assemble. (Fig. 12).
8.2 JOINTING AT AN END
For all board thicknesses use the movable front
panel and the movable fence.
Position the front movable panel at the desired
height or board thickness. Placethe movable
fence panel in the 90° position and mill the slot
(Fig. 13 and 14). Glue and assemble (Fig. 17).
