7. Cutting aluminum extrusion
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up
of the aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extrusions.
Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose during
operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot be
secured firmly with this tool.
8. Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in
workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.
CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood facing.
• When cutting workpieces from 75 mm (2-15/16”) to
90 mm (3-1/2”) high, use a wood facing to prevent a
portion of the workpiece near the guide fence from being
left uncut.
Example:
When cutting workpieces 90 mm (3-1/2”) high, use
a wood facing with the following thickness.
1. Vise
2. Spacer block
3. Guide fence
4. Aluminum extrusion
