Our EJ-92 Elliptical Jig is required.
RAISED PANEL MOLDING
NOTE: Panel must always have 9” for rollers to engage
Our in stock panel knives are designed to produce a ¼” tongue on stock sizes ¾” or
5
/
8
”. Select a
panel knife based on the finished panel thickness. A panel must be 9” or more in the direction
you are molding in order to not have the panel come off of one roller before it engages the second
roller. When using multiple passes you must always have at least 9” of panel remaining in the
direction of the cut, maintaining roller pressure.
In this example the straight guide is used on our sub plate toward the tubes. Normally raised
panels would exceed sub plate capacity. In the case of wide panels where only one guide can be
used, the operator will need to assist the panel through the molding process.
HELPFUL TIPS
●
Most panels will extend beyond the open side.
●
While molding raised panels apply upward pressure on panel along with pressure against
the guide.
●
There is approximately 1/32” clearance between the top of the panel and the head of the
molder if the head is at stock size setting.
●
Modifying tongue size or making deeper cuts will cause imperfections on the stock. Avoid
setting the head below stock size.
THE SET UP
1.
Disconnect power source.
2.
Attach the knives.
3.
Raise molder head and set the stock on the sub plate.
4.
Align the stock with the molding profile.
5.
Lower the head to pinch the stock.
6.
Set the guide and lock in place.
7.
Raise the molder head, remove the stock, and reset the head to within 3/16” of stock thickness.
8.
Check knife area for clearance.
9.
Attach the chip extractor with the axis pin.
10.
Stand somewhere between the open side and infeed side to assist panel through. Mold the
panel cross grain ends first.
11.
Power up and feed stock.
