NOTE: The outside arbor flange can not 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 as shown in Fig.
39.
1. A moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. S15 can be easily
assembled to the saw arbor. Also, the accessory
moulding cutterhead table insert (B) must be
used 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. S16).
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 inch 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. S16
shows a typical moulding operation.
Never use moulding cutterhead in a
bevel position.
Never run the stock between the fence
and the moulding cutterhead. irregular shaped wood
will cause kickback.
Always install blade guard after operation
is complete.
Special attention should be given the
grain direction. Make all cuts in the same direction
as the grain whenever possible.

USING ACCESSORY DADO HEAD
The blade guard and splitter assembly
cannot be used when dadoing or moulding. it
must be removed as described in “using accessory
moulding cutterhead” section.
Use pushsticks, hold-downs, jigs,
fixtures, or featherboards to help guide and control
the workpiece when the guard cannot be used.
The accessory dado head set table insert
(E) Fig. S20, must be used in place of the standard
table insert.
