FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
FOREWORD
Porter-Cable Laminate Trimmers are designed for flush and bevel trimming
laminated plastics, phenolics, and other similar materials having a bonding
agent too hard to be trimmed with ordinary tools.
The Tilt-Base model allows trimming into corners inaccessible to standard
trimmers and to trim laminated surfaces joining at angles of 45° to 90°. This
feature eliminates the need for hand-trimming in many applications.
The Off-Set Base Trimmer is designed for trimming into the corner of a
back splash and trimming narrow ledges which are already mounted
against a wall or another surface.
The Underscribe Base is designed for making accurate “butt” joints in
laminated plastics, phenolics and other similar materials. The Underscribe
Base is used with the Model 7301 Trimmer Motor and the 43109 Trim Bit.
SELECTING THE BIT
These trimmers are equipped with a
1
/4" diameter collet to accept laminate
trimming bits having
1
/4" diameter shanks. Bits are available as an
accessory.
