Fig. 131
The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can
be mounted various shapes of steel knives, (Fig. 131).
Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in
the cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw. The
knife grooves should be kept free of sawdust which
would prevent the cutter from seating properly.
IMPORTANT: For certain cutting operations (dadoing
and moulding) where the workpiece is not cut
completely through, the blade guard and splitter
assembly cannot be used. Loosen screws (G) and (H)
Fig. 132. Lift up and swing blade guard and splitter
assembly (W) Fig. 133 to the rear of the saw and
retighten (H). CAUTION: Always return and fasten the
blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper
operating position for normal thru-sawing operations
as shown in Fig. 32 and 33.
A moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. 134 is shown assembled
to the saw arbor. Also, the accessory moulding
cutterhead table insert (B) must be used in place of the
standard table insert.

USING ACCESSORY
MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the
work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead in
the circular saw is a fast, safe and clean operation.The
many different knife shapes available make it possible for
the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings,
such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames,
table edges, etc.
When using the moulding cutterhead, add wood-facing
(C) to the face of the rip fence (Fig. 135). 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.
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. 135 shows a typical
moulding operation. See accessories for molding
cutterhead set. NEVER USE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD
IN A BEVEL POSITION.
