USING ACCESSORY

MOULDING CUTTERHEAD

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

work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead in

the circular saw is a fast, safe and clean operation. The

many different knife shapes available make it possible for

the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings,

such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames,

table edges, etc.

The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can

be mounted various shapes of steel knives, as shown in

Fig. 125. Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a

groove in the cutterhead and securely clamped with a

screw. The knife grooves should be kept free of sawdust,

which would prevent the cutter from seating properly.

IMPORTANT: For certain cutting operations such as

dadoing and moulding where you are not cutting

completely through the workpiece, the blade guard and

splitter assembly cannot be used. Loosen screws (G) and

(H) Fig. 126. Lift up and swing blade guard and splitter

assembly (W) Fig. 127, to the rear of the saw, and then

tighten screws (G) and (H). CAUTION: Always return and

fasten the blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper

operating position for normal thru-sawing operations.

The moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. 128, is assembled to the

saw arbor as shown. NOTE: THE OUTSIDE ARBOR

FLANGE CAN NOT BE USED WITH THE MOULDING

CUTTERHEAD, TIGHTEN THE ARBOR NUT AGAINST

THE CUTTERHEAD BODY. DO NOT LOOSE THE

OUTSIDE ARBOR FLANGE, FOR IT WILL BE NEEDED

WHEN REATTACHING A BLADE TO THE UNISAW

ARBOR. ALSO, THE ACCESSORY MOULDING

CUTTERHEAD TABLE INSERT (B), MUST BE USED IN

PLACE OF THE STANDARD TABLE INSERT.

It is necessary when using the moulding cutterhead to

add wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence, as

shown in Fig. 129. The wood-facing is attached to the

biesemeyer fence with two clamps, as shown (refer to the

Unifence section of this manual for attaching wood facing

to a Unifence). 3/4 inch stock is suitable for most work

although an occasional job may require 1 inch facing.

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. 129, shows a typical

moulding operation. NEVER USE MOULDING CUTTER-

HEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION.

IMPORTANT: NEVER RUN THE STOCK BETWEEN THE

FENCE AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD AS IRRE-

GULAR SHAPED WOOD WILL CAUSE KICKBACK.

When moulding end grain, the miter gage is used. The

feed should be slowed up at the end of the cut to prevent

splintering.

In all cuts, attention should be given the grain, making the

cut in the same direction as the grain whenever possible.

ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD

AFTER OPERATION IS COMPETE.
