SETTING THE SCALE FOR SINGLE OR MULTIPLE PASSES
The “0” on the yellow scale references the top of the GS-2-1 guide system ½” sub plate. Insert
stock after head setting has been determined.
Full pass cut example: ¾” Stock, set scale at ¾” achieving a finished profile.
Multiple pass example: ¾” Stock, set scale up to 3/16” above stock thickness, run profile.
Continue lowering the head until the finished profile is achieved.
These settings allow you to achieve proper roller tension for holding the stock and providing a safe
operation. Check knife rotation clearance by turning the knife arbor to insure.
NOTE: Some profiles may require a relief cut in the deep section with a roughing knife or dado
cut. This cut relieves stress on the motor and lessens the load on the feed system.
Relieving deep cuts allows the molder to not bog down, will have less tear out.
OPERATIONAL TIPS
●
Do not cut a wider stock area than the knife was designed to cut. This will cause excessive
heat in the knife, burn your stock and puts a harmful load on the feed system.
●
The roll pressure screws are set at maximum molding pressure from the factory. They are
screwed into the head as far as possible and the check nut is tightened. This ensures
proper roller tension.
