SESAWING
ReKJwin® is ibe cvtling ol thick boards into thinner ones. If
is о ripping operation. See Figure 29. Small boards—up to
2W" maximum width—can be resawed in one pass; but
larger boards up to 5" maximum require two passes,
one pass along each edge of the board. When two cuts
from opposite edges ore required, these should be made
to overlap
W’ from the approximate center of the board,
if the first cut is too deep, the kerf will close end bind the
sow on the second cut, with donger of kickback. Also, when
the kerf closes, the two sides of the cut ore no longer parallel
to the saw blade, and the saw will Cut Into them to spoil
their oppeorance. Keep the same face of the board against
the ferrce when making both cuts.
When cutting boords thicker than 4", a fence should be used
which extends 3W above the table top. When cutting
boards thicker than 5", cut both sides ond finish the cut
with a bond sow.
BEVEL AND MITER CUTS
Bevel cuts can be mode from either a cross-cutting or ripping
position by tilling the blöde to the desired angle. Miter cuts
Can be made only from о cross-cutting position when the
blode end radial arm are at some angle other than 90® to
the fence. A bevel miter cot is a cot which is both beveled
atid mitered. This cut Is mode with the blode cind rodiol orm
set at the desired miter angle to the fence and then the blode
only Is tilted with respect to the table top to the desired bevel
angle. This cut is also referred to as о compound miter. See
Figure 30.
USE OF THE DADO HEAD
The dado saw or head, as if is colled, is о special set of
blades for cutting grooves ond dados. Croftsmon 6” Krom-
edge Dodo Set can be purchased at any Sears Retail Store
or Mail Order House. The head consists of two outside blödes
1/8" Жкк, six 1/8“ thick chipper blades and paper wash­
ers for 1 /16" width adjustments. With these blödes, grooves
of 1/8", 1/4", and odditional widths increosed in steps of
1/16" op to в maximum of 13/16" wide can be cut. Outside
blades con be used atom, chippers cannot.
When using the maximum width of dodo of 13/16" on
the motor shoft, the outside loose coUor (Item 38, Figure 1)
must not be used. The width of the dodo con be reduced
while using the loose collar and two or more posses can be
mode with the work to obtain the desired width of cut.
Whenever two or more chippers are used, stagger the cut­
ting ends os evenly os possible oround the circumference.
Fractiofsal odjustments in thickness of the heod con be mode
fay using poper washers between the outside blades ond
chippers. Dado head operotions are much the some os those
with
a standard blade—but the dado head lakes о bigger
bite, so that the work-piece should be held more firmly.
When a groove wider than the dado head is needed, make
two or more passes. Space cuts so thot they overldp o trifle.
Dado work is done in the cross-cut position, Piougbing is
done in the ripping position. If the rip or plough position is
used die sow guard and anti-kickback pawl assembly should
be odjusted os described in the paragraph "RIPPING". Rab­
beting is done in the vertical position. Figure 31. When
rabbeting, the motor is indexed 90° to the vertical position
to that the blodes are between the toble top ond the motor
and the yoke is indexed 90° clockwise and locked. The saw is
moved bock on the rodiol arm ond locked to the orm when
the omount of the blade extending forward of the fence it
equal to the depth of the robbei desired. If the depth of the
rabbet 1$ large, do not attempt to col it in one operoHon.
Lower the rodiol arm until the blades are in o position to cut
the desired width of rabbet in the edge of the board. The
bottom of the saw guard should be parallel to the fence and
the dischorge elbow directed to the rear of the saw.
MOLDING OR SHAPING
This work is done using the Croftsmon Molding Cutter Head
and
a set of cutters depending on the type of molding cut
desired. This work is done with the saw in the some position
as that described for rabbeting. See Figure 32, Since the
position of the cutters with respect to the fence and the
table top can be adjusted any or all of the cutter shapes
can be used.
ROUTING AND DOVETAILING
Routing and dovetailing are done with the motor indexed
and locked 90° from the horlrontof except that this time
the externally threaded stub end opposite the norma! blade
end is between the motor and the table top. The follow­
ing chucks will mate with this external 16-20 thread: (See
Figure 33).
0" to 1/4" Key Chuck
5/64" to 1/2" Key Chuck
The following routers and dovetails ore recommended:
1/8" router
1/4" router
3/8" rooter
1/2" router
5/8" rooter
3/8" dovetail
1/2" dovetail
Routing may be done by either moving the work with a
stationary rooter or by clomping the work to the table and
moving the router. Afwoys
approach the router bit from the
left hand side of the saw.
