— If the workpieces do not fit together or if the fit is
too tight, then adjust the cutter to take a larger
cut and repeat "Cut 1."
— If the workpieces fit together too loosely, adjust
the cutter to take a smaller cut and do "Cut 2."
— If the tails fit easily side-to-side into the sockets,
but do not go down far enough, adjust the socket
depth deeper.
— If the tails fit easily side-to-side into the sockets,
but go too far down, adjust the socket depth
shallower.
Adjusting.Cutter
The cutter rotates eccentrically in the spindle, which
allows it to be adjusted for control of the dovetail joint
"fit" when assembled.
Two set screws hold the cutter in position and a spindle
scale is provided for monitoring the cutter position during
adjustments ( Figure.45 ).
To.adjust.the.cutter,.do.these.steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the guard.
3. Use a 4mm hex wrench to loosen the two set screws
on the spindle just enough to rotate the cutterhead.
(Loosening the two set screws too much may cause
the cutter to drop down in the spindle and throw off
other adjustments.)
4. Rotate the cutter inside the spindle as necessary to
take a smaller or larger cut (see
Figure.46
). Use the
highest point in the cutter groove to keep track of
the cutter position during adjustments.
5.
Tighten the two set screws to secure the cutter in
place.
6. Make sure the spring is connected to the headstock.
7. Install the guard.
8. Test the new cutter setting by making a cut.
9. Repeat cutter adjustment as necessary until the fit
is satisfactory. ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE
ADJUSTING CUTTER!
