GUIDE FENCES

When molding, the workpiece mustbe guided intothe

molding cutter bits or knives properlyin order to pro-

duce the desired shape and size molding. Usingprop-

edy adjusted guide fences assures the workpiecepass-

es the molding cutters/knivesin the same position

using multiple passes. Figure 26 shows an auxiliary

table with guide fences mounted to the planer/molder

table.

and fixed guide fence, through space between table

and extensiontable, and clamps to lip on the base.

the workpiece advances smoothly.Revise the first

pass measurement with the current reading.

• During moldingoperation, do not exceed I/," total

depth of cut.

• If your moldingrequires several passes, make sure
