Pattern Shaping:
1. Sometimes the location of the Taper Pin (56) holes on the Work Table (52) will
not always be in the safest position. You can clamp a piece of scrap wood to the
Work Table so the edge of the scrap wood can be used as the starting support.
(See Figure JJ.)
2. The use of patterns (templates) allows identical parts to be cut with speed and
accuracy. Shaping with a pattern begins by attaching a prefabricated template to
the rough workpiece. The edge of the template rides against a Rub Collar (98,
99, 100) on the Spindle (105) as the Cutter cuts the matching prole on the
workpiece edge. Also, you can incorporate extra features into the template
assembly (such as toggle clamps - not included) to hold the workpiece or you
can use custom guards for safety and protection. (See Figure KK.)
CAUTION! Make sure to design jigs and xtures so screws and clamps DO
NOT contact the Cutter and the workpiece is held securely to the jig. The jig
must be stable on the Work Table (52).
3. To make a template, design the assembly so that cutting will occur underneath
the workpiece. Make sure screws or clamps will not come into contact with the
Cutter.
4. Make handles for safety and control.
5. Use materials that will move easily across the Work Table (52) surface and Rub
Collar (98, 99, 100).
6. Remember to consider the Cutter and Rub Collar (98, 99, 100) diameter when
making the pattern.
7. Install hold-down clamps (not included) at three sides of the pattern assembly, or
screw the pattern assembly to the back side of the workpiece.
