SM255t Operation/Maintenance Instructions Page 15 of 32
On the Sedgwick SM255t the complete motor and spindle sub-assembly tilts independently
of the Rise and Fall mechanism. The tilt action rotates about the centre line of the spindle at
the locking collar surface, the operator therefore maintains the same depth of wood cut
irrespective of whether a new height of cut is chosen.
The operator is provided with stops at =%, 0 and -45 degrees. At the zero stop the operator
must hand withdraw the Zero Stop Plunger to enable further tilt, either in the +5 or -45
direction.
6.2 The Spindle Unit
The loose top spindle onto which the cutters are mounted is attached to the main spindle by
a draw bar. To remove the loose top spindle, first isolate the machine. Open the cabinet
door. Using the two 19mm spanners, one set on the flats of the loose spindle, the other on the
bolt head at the bottom of the spindle pulley, untighten the bolt. This enables the loose top
spindle, complete with cutters, spacing sleeves, and lock nut to be removed as a unit from
the machine without disturbing their setting. Use only the spanners supplied with the
machine. Never add extra leverage as this strains the bolts and leads to excessive wear.
If several months pass between spindle changes it is good practice to wipe a light film of oil
over the spindle base before installing it in the arbor.
