Logosol M8 - Manual (Page 17)

Use a compound saw with linear
movement and adjustable cutting
depth.
It can be used both for cutting the
boards into length and for making
the cut-out or recess in the boards.
The machine can be ordered from
Logosol.
Build a good workstation. Take two
boards (for instance some remaining
bottom boards) that are approx. 1.7
metres long. Screw them together
and secure the saw on top of them.
Ensure that there is a space of at
least 1 metre on the left side of the
saw blade. Place an additional board
on both sides of the saw. Place short
board pieces under them so that they
become level with the saw table, then
fasten the construction with screws.
It should be room to fasten the stop
boards (see below) with C-clamps.
Make sure that the saw blade cuts
at a 90 degree angle. As lateral stops
you use two short board pieces, which
you secure with C-clamps. When you
are satisfied with the adjustment (see
the sections Cutting into length and
Setting for the cut-out) you should
also drive a couple of screws through
the board pieces so that they do not
become displaced.
Preparation of the side boards
1. Cutting into length
Use a board piece as a stop 108 cm
from the saw blade, and cut all boards
into the correct length (the depth of the
hot tub will then be 97 cm). You will
need approx. 80 boards for a 2 m hot
tub, but cut a couple of extra boards
in reserve. Cut the ends clean. Avoid
using boards with big open knots, and
avoid getting knots in the cuts.
TIP: There is always a certain degree
of play in the machine. Be careful
you do not bend the saw head in any
direction while sawing. Try to take all
cuts the same way.
NB: Make sure that there is no saw
dust between the stop and the boards
that are to be sawn. Regularly check
the result by comparing the length with
side boards that you have cut before.
