1 Introduction
Thank you for making the Castle TSM-21 Screw Pocket Machine a vital part of your shop.
The TSM-21 is designed for use on a wide variety of materials including hardwoods, softwoods,
melamine, particleboard and MDF.
This manual is intended for anyone working with, or performing maintenance or service on the
TSM-21.
If trouble occurs, in most cases one of the major components is either not starting its function or
not completing its function. This may lead to a skip or stall in the operational sequence.
Troubleshooting the TSM-21 is greatly aided by understanding the machine’s operational
sequence which occurs in this order:
1.
The Clamp extends to secure the work piece
2. The Router creates the pocket then retracts
3.
The Drill creates the Pilot screw Hole then retracts
4. The Clamp releases the work piece
