Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the

workpiece with a special moulding cutterhead.

The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can

be mounted various shapes of steel knives (Fig. 60). Each

of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in the

cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw. Keep the

knife grooves free of sawdust to allow the cutter to seating

properly.

For certain cutting operations (dadoing and

moulding) where the workpiece is not cut completely

through, the blade guard and splitter assembly cannot be

used. Loosen screws at (G) and (H) Fig. 61. Lift and remove

the blade guard and splitter assembly (W).

Use pushsticks, hold-downs, jugs, fixtures,

or featherboards to help guide and control the workpiece

when the guard cannot be used.

USING A MOULDING CUTTERHEAD

NOTE: The outside arbor flange cannot be used with the moulding cutterhead. Tighten the arbor nut against the cutterhead body. Do

not lose the outside arbor flange. It will be needed when reattaching a blade to the arbor.

Always return and fasten the blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper operating position for normal

thru-sawing operations.

1. You can easily attach a moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. S15 to the saw arbor. Also, you must use the accessory moulding

cutterhead table insert (B) in place of the standard table insert.

2. When using the moulding cutterhead, add wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence (Fig. 63). The wood-facing is attached

to the fence with wood screws through holes which must be drilled in the fence. Stock that is 3/4" inch thick is suitable for

most work, although an occasional job may require 1" facing.

3. Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw on and raise

the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 63 shows a typical moulding operation.

Never use a moulding cutterhead in a bevel position.

Never run the stock between the fence and the moulding cutterhead. Irregular-shaped wood will cause

fkickback.

Special attention should be given the grain direction. Make all cuts in the same direction as the grain whenever

possible.

Always install the blade guard after the operation is complete.
