NEXT, ASSEMBLE TABLE:
I. Because of wood's natural tendency to absorb moisture, your table
boards may have become slightly warped during or after shipment.
Crank the saw up far enough to slip table boards into position.
Lay the
boards out on the table support with the fence in position
at the rear.
Empty out the cloth bag containing the table adjusting
and fastening screws onto atable and pick out :2 round head screws
'" long and 2flat washers. Slip the I" round head screws with flat
washer
through each of the front holes in the table support to hold
the table in place
and tighten the table clamps. If the table clamps
are too tight or too loose, they can be adjusted by changing the
location
of the nuts which set the clamping screws in position.
Check with a straight edge for high spots or gaps on the table
surface.
Check the length of the fence for straightness. Any section
of the table which is not flat should be sanded or planed. Sanding
can be done with Toolkraft Rotary Sander No. 4004 and 900-440
Adaptor. Planing may be done with Toolkraft Rotary Planer No.
4060 and 900-440
Adaptor. See ACCESSORIES section for price.
See
OPERATION section for illustrations.
2. After checking your boards, loosen the table clamps and remove
all
boards from the table supports. See Figs. 6 and 8for detail of
adjustment and locking screw assembly. From the table adjusting
and fastening screws, pick out 4headless screws I" long (these are
your adjustment screws), 4 square nuts and 4sheet metal nut re-
tainers. Insert
the nut into the sheet metal nut retainer, slide the
nuts
and nut retainers between the table support and sheet metal
base
at the second and fourth holes in from the front on each side
so
that the hole in the table support lines up with the hole in the
nut
retainer and nut. Turn the headless adjusting screws through
the holes in the table support angle and nut retainer into the square
nut until approximately l/S" of the screw is through the bottom
of the nut.
3. Place the 8" wide table section in position on the front of the
table
support angle so that the holes line up and the previously
installed front
adjusting 5crews come through the small holes. The
counterbored side should be facing up. See Fig. 9. Put one of the
FIGURE 9
four Aat washers into each of the four counterbored holes. Slip the
two I" long round head screws into the two front holes
and fasten
securely with lock washers
and ht:x nuts. See Fig. 6. Slip the two
I ~" long round head screws into the third hole from the front on
each side. Take the two square nuts and two nut retainers and
fasten to the
I~" round head screws as shown in Figs. 6and 7.
Slip the two \1,4" long round head screws through rear holes in the

CAUTION: This unit is shipped wired for 115 voll current (s£e
Part 5 of this section for converting to 230 voll current).
NOW MAKE TABLE ADJUSTMENTS:
1. All table adjustments are made from the top. See Figs. 9, 10, II
and 12. The bolts holding the table support to the side of the base
are spring loaded and set at the factory. The table supports must
be
able to move up or down for adjusting. Do not tighten these
bolts down securely.
2. Make aflat wood feeler gage about '4" thick x3" wide x10" long.
See Figs.
II and 12.
3. Turn the rotating arm toward yOur right to the 90° position on the
miter scale and lock it in place. The saw blade should be in the front
so that it travels parallel to the table boards across the front of
the table.
4. Make sure that all clamping levers are in the locked position (Ro-
tating Arm Clamp, Yoke Clamp, and Bevel Tilt Lock). Slide the
cutting head to your right as far as it will go and lock it with the
carriage clamp. Remove the guard and raise or lower the cutting
head with the Elevating Crank Handle until the blade just touches
the wood feeler gage and tighten the right hand front table lock
screw.
Do not raise or lower the cutting head again until you have
finished the
table adjustment.
5. Release the carriage clamp, slide the cutting head as far to the left
as it will go and lock the carriage clamp. Raise or lower the table
with the left hand front adjustment screw until the blade just

AND ADJUST THE RIP SCALE: (FIGURF 17)
There are two basic rip positions, the "in rip" and the "out rip".
The rotating arm should be set at 0° for both. For the "in rip" location
turn the yoke so that the blade is at the rear (see Fig. 31), that is with
the blade located between the fence and motor. For the "out rip"
location turn the yoke so that the blade is toward the front, that is
with the motor between the fence and the blade.
1. Set the yoke to the "in rip" position as shown in Fig. 17. Place a
carpentcr's rule or 12' scale against the fence.
2. Lower the blade until it is just above the scale and slide the carriage
in or out until the sides of the saw teeth facing the column line up
directly above the 4' mark on the carpenter's scale. Lock the
cutting head in this location with the carriage clamp.
3. Look at the "in rip" reading on the rip scale. If it does not read
exactly 4', loosen the screws at both ends of the rip scale and slide
the scale until it lines up with the indicator line on the dust cover
at 4". Tighten the screws in each end of the rip scale. Your scale
is now set for "in rip" as well as "out rip" readings.
COVERING TABLE TOP (FIGURE 18)
To extend the life of your table, you may attach 2pieces of 1,4' ply-
wood as shown in Fig. 18. This plywood covering will take all the
abuse and wear which your table would ordinarily receive, and can
be replaced much easier and less expensively. The plywood covering
can be made in 4 sections (one for each board) or in 2 sections as we
have shown here. With a 4 section plywood covering you can make
more arrangements with your table. However, all of the most common
cuts can be made with a2 section table arrangement.
1. Cut I piece of plywood 14" x32" to go over the 8" and 6" table
sections. Remove the front table section, lay it on top of this sheet
even with one side, put apencil through the holes and mark their
location onto the plywood. Drill these table adjustment holes
through the plywood sheet.
2. Cut a piece of plywood I0Ys' wide x 32" long to go over the 4Ys'
and slotted 6" sections. Remove the 6' table section, lay it on the
plywood even with one side and trace the shaft clearance slot. Cut
the shaft clearance slot in the plywood.
3. Set up your table as shown in Fig. 18 and tack the plywood sheets
in place.
CUTTING GROOVES AND TROUGHS
IN TABLE TOP OR PLYWOOD COVER
(FIGURE 19)
If you are going to use a plywood cover on your table, these cuts
sMuld be made in the plywood. If not, these cuts should be made in
\ 0ur work table top. (See Fig. 19).

ADJUSTMENTS TO COMPENSATE FOR WEAR
TO ADJUST THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY: (FIGURE 20)
In order to safeguard the motor and belt of your machine, we have
equipped it with a specially designed clutch assembly. This clutch has
been set at the factory at the proper tension to assure correct cutting
performance. Continuous overloading or intermittent overloading over
a long period of time may cause wear to the slip clutch parts and make
it slip too readily. To reset the clutch make the following adjustments:
1. Remove the saw guard, the saw blade, the arbor bracket and the
belt. (See Fig. 20).
2. Remove the cotter pin, hold the motor shaft with a screw driver,
(this shaft is crossdrilled with 4 locating holes), turn the nut clock-
wise 1/12 revolution and insert the cotter pin through the shaft
hole which is :ocated 90° from the hole from which you removed
the pin. Spread the ends of the pin so it will not slip out.
3. Slip the belt over the large pulley carefully so that the teeth on the
belt are engaged with those on the pulley. Slip the small pulley
and arbor bracket into position. Be sure that the teeth of the small
pulley are engaged with those on the belt.
4.
You will notice that there are 4 oversize clearance holes for mount-
ing the arbor bracket to the motor bracket. These holes are for
adjusting the arbor bracket to the proper location to maintain belt
tension. Insert the 4 fastening serews through the arbor bracket into
the motor bracket and tighten them by hand. Press down gently
with one hand on the arbor bracket, hold it in this position to
maintain a slight belt tension and tighten the 4 screws securely.
CAUTION: Do not force the arbor bracket down, gentle pressure
from your hand
will hold the belt at the proper tension.
5. Mount the blade and guard and try a sample cut. If the blade still
slips too readily, repeat the above adjustment until the blade slips
only when overloaded.
IF CLUTCH DOES NOT SLIP:
If your saw blade will not slip under extreme overload or abuse,
it has probably become clogged with sawdust or other foreign material
and needs to be cleaned.
1. Before removing the clutch assembly. scratch a mark on one of the
corners of the castle nut and another mark directly in line with it
on the outer bronze washer.
2. Remove the cotter pin and castle nut and slip the clutch assembly
off the shaft. Slip the Woodruff Key out of the slot in the motor
shaft.
3. Clean all the parts thoroughly in kerosene. Let the bronze washers
soak overnight in a pan of S.A.E. No. JO Oil.
TO REASSEMBLE THE CLUTCH:
1. Slip the Woodruff Key into the slot on the motor shaft and slide
the inner bronze washer onto the shaft against the spacer sleeve.
2. Place asteel washer on each side of the pulley \\ ith the pins extend-
ing into anyone of the 4 slots around the pulley. Slip the outer
bronze washer into the flange side of the pulley".
3. Slide the above four parts onto the motor shaft and over the inner
bronze washer. Place the spring "asher on the motor shaft against
the outer bronze washer and turn the castle nut onto the motor
shaft by hand. Hold the shaft with a scre\\ dri\ er and tighten the
castle nut with a wrench until the mark on the nut lines up with
the one on the outer bronze washer. Insert the cotter pin, reassemble
the drive and make a test cut.
TO REMOVE THE PLAY BETWEEN THE UPPER ARM
AND ROTATING ARM: (FIGURES 21 and 22)
If the rotating arm sags "hen the cutting head is mo\ed to the ends
of the arm, the arm pi\ at stud connecting the upper and lower arms
should be adjusted to take up the "ear. To adjust folio" each step as
outlined below:
I. See Figure 21. Remo\e the rotate>r arm clamp nut and loosen the
screws on either side of the bo~ on the front of the upper arm.
2. Loosen the set sere\\ in the inner te Slon r. t just enough so that
the tension nut will not be laded In pla-.:e l'f1 te threads of the
stud. See Figure 21.
3. See Figure 22. Hold the arm pi\ot 5!UJ \ ",; "large S,'re" driver to

4. Retighten the set screws, replace the rotator arm clamp nut, try
sliding the arm back and forth to check for sagging and try turning
the ann to the 45° left and right miter positions to see if it turns
easily.
5. Repeat adjustment if machine still sags or loosen tension nut if it
will
not turn freely.
TO REMOVE PLAY BETWEEN YOKE AND CARRIAGE:
(FIGURE 23)
If the yoke and carriage become worn, you will notice the yoke
clamp will not tighten the yoke and carriage securely. To adjust follow
each step
outlined below.
I. Remove the saw blade and guard. Remove the name plate from the
front
of the arm and the front stop screw on the bottom right hand
side of the rotating arm. Slide the motor carriage off the rotating
arm track carefully and place it on the worktable.
2. You will note in Fig. 23 the yoke has been turned to the "in rip"
position and the picture is taken from the rear so that all the ad-
justing screws can be seen. You will not need to set the yoke in
this particular manner.
3. Loosen the yoke clamp and then loosen the set screw in the rear
of the carriage.
~. Turn the yoke stud clockwise with a short heavy, plain or offset
screw
driver until the carriage fits snugly against the yoke. Tighten
the set screw against the yoke stud.
<Lock the yoke clamp to see if it will hold the yoke and carriage
securely. Repeat the adjustment if necessary.
f.. Slide the cutting head onto the rotating arm track. Replace the
front name plate and, stop screw.
TO ADJUST BEVEL TILT LOCK HANDLE: (FIGURE 24)
Through use the bevel tilt lock handle might turn below the motor
A -en locked. If this occurs, make the following adjustments.
Remove guard for clearance to work.
Push bevel tilt lock handle up to unlocked position (see Fig. 24).
Loosen the set screw which holds the motor bracket stud .
.: Turn the mOlOr bracket stud counterclockwise with aheavy screw
Jmcr until the yoke and motor bracket are pulled snugly together.
Lcx:k the set screw.
Try the bevel tilt lock. It should lock when the bevel tilt lock handle
,s about even with center line of the motor. If it locks below the
,enter line of the motor, repeat the above adjustment.
TO REMOVE PLAY BETWEEN YOKE AND MOTOR
BRACKET AT THE REAR: (FIGURE 25)
If play develops between the yoke and the motor bracket at the
rear, follow the steps outlined below to adjust.
ILoosen set screw which holds motor bracket stud in place. (See
Fig. 25.)

2. Hold the motor bracket stud with a heavy screw driver and turn
the nut clockwise with a wrench until the motor bracket and yoke
fit snugly but not tight against each other.
3. Release bevel tilt lock and try tilting the motor several times. If
further adjustment is necessary repeat the above instructions. Turn
nut counterclockwise to loosen.
TO REMOVE PLAY FROM PEDESTAL: (FIGURE 26)
To remove any play which may develop between the pedestal and
the column follow the steps outlined below.
I. If the column is loose in the pedestal; loosen the locking bolt. turn
the adjusting screw sleeve about 1/12 revolution counterclockwise,
(see Fig. 26), hold it in position with one wrench and lock it in
this position by turning the locking bolt clockwise with another
wrench.
CAUTION: Never turn the adjusting sleeve all the way into the
pedestal in a clockwise direction. This could cause the pedestal to
spring out of shape or crack. You probably will never have to turn
the adjusting sleeve in or out more than '/.s of a revolution to adjust.
2. Try raising and lowering the blade with the elevating crank handle.
If it is too loose repeat above adjustment. If it is too tight, loosen
the locking bolt, turn the adjusting sleeve in a clockwise direction
and retighten the locking bolt. Try raising and lowering the blade
again and make any further adjustment that is necessary.
TO REMOVE SIDE PLAY FROM THE UPPER ARM:
(FIGURE 27)
After your saw has been in use for some time you may notice that
the arm (even though locked in position) can be shifted from side to
side when the blade is at the front end of the rotating arm. Follow
the steps outlined below to correct this condition.
I. On each side of the pedestal at the back you will note 2 headless
set screws with check nuts. (See Fig. 27). You must take up the
wear evenly on both sides of the pedestal by adjusting the brass
gibs from each side. First, hold the screws on the right side with a
screw driver and loosen the check nuts.
2. Now tighten the screws securely and count the number of clock-
wise turns, then back the two screws out exactly '/2 the number of
turns it took to tighten them. Hold each screw in this location with
a
screw driver and tighten the check nut.
3. Next, loosen the upper and lower check nuts on the left side with a
wrench and tighten the set screws. Lock them securely in position
with the check nuts.
4. Try the arm to see if the side motion has been eliminated. Try to
raise the blade with the elevating crank handle. Repeat the adjust-
ment if all side play is not eliminated. If the gib pressure is too
great on the column key and causes a bind "hen raising or lowering
the cutting head, back off the set screws slightly on one side until
the bind is eliminated and lock check nuts.
5. This adjustment might have disturbed the setting of the rotating
arm. Check as described under THE1'\ SQLJARE BLADE CROSS-
CUT TRAVEL and make any necessary adjlolstments.
TO ADJUST THE CARRIAGE BALL BEARINGS:
(FIGURE 28)
The carriage is mounted on the rotating arm track with 4ball bear-
ings and 2 roller bearings. Two ball bearings are mounted in afixed
position on each side of the carriage and roll along the 45° track. Two
roller bearings are mounted in afixed position on the bOllom of the
rotating arm. The two bearings on the left side are permanent, but
the two ball bearings mounted on the right hand SIde of the track are
adjustable. If play develops bet"een the track and the bearings. follow
the steps outlined below to adjust.
I. (See Fig. 28.) Remove the carriage damr knob.
2. Remove the right hand dust cover b\ taking (\ut the two screws.
J. Loosen the set sere'" on the carriage SIde rlate b~ turning It counter-
clockwise <l few turns.
4. Tighten the front hex bolt and the rear he' boll aprroxill1ately the
same number of turns to move the Sltle rlate In e\enly. Keep trying
the travel on the track as ~()U 3J)U>t l<' mdke surc the bearings
aren't binding on the track.
5. After you have the he>. bolts tlghlen"J >t' th,l the carriage moves

0. It is important that the bearings be in line from front to back on
the track ·arm.
To check this, apply some light grease to the tracks
of the rotating arm. Wipe the grease down to athin film. Then pull
the carriage to the front stop
of the track and push it back to observe
the tracks left
in the grease. There should be only one mark, the
width
of the bearing face. If the bearings are not moving in the
same line, you must make further adjustments. If the front bearings
are higher than the rear, tighten the rear hex screw. If the front
bearing
is lower, you' must tighten the front hex bolt. This adjust-
ment
is important in keeping your saw SQuare for ripping operations.
The
felt track wipers on each side of the right and left hand dust
covers
will wear and should be adjusted occasionally so that sawdust
won't pile up on the track
and cause abind in the crosscut travel.
I. Loosen the screws in the metal backing plates.
2. Slide each felt wiper down until it fits snugly against the track and
tighten the screws.
TO ADJUST FELT TRACK WIPERS:
OPERATIONS
CROSSCUTTING: (FIGURE 29)
The rotating arm must be positioned at 0° on the miter scale. The
motor position should read 0° on the bevel tilt scale and the yoke
should be positioned to the left
of the rotating arm in the cutoff po-
sition. Place the wood on the work table against the fence.
The blade
should be behind the fence and should be lowered into the crosscut
groove
in the table. Make sure all clamps except the carriage clamp
are
in the lock position. Hold the operating handle with one hand
and turn the saw on with the other. Hold the work against the fence,
pull the blade through the work, push the blade back to the rear
of
the fence and turn saw off. (See Fig. 29.)
For best crosscut results, use IO-CC-58 Crosscut Blade with the
Model 910A Radial
Arm Saw. See ACCESSORIES section under
BLADES for prices.
RIGHT AND LEFT HAND MITERING: (FIGURE 30)
(See Fig. 20.) The rotating arm should be positioned to your desired
miter angle as indicated on the miter scale.
The most common miter
cuts are 45° right hand
and 45° left hand. The miter index pin will
locate these positions automatically. Push the blade to the rear
of the
fence and lower it into the 45° miter groove. Hold the work against
the fence, pull the blade through the work and push the blade back.
For best results use the same blade as for crosscutting.
Radial Arm Saws
do not require frequent oiling. Oil merely tends
.0 collect dust and clog up the mechanism. Oil the 3index pins and
moving surfaces about once per month with S.A.E. No. 20 Oil to
minimize the wear. Squirt a
few drops through the slot in the rear of
the pedestal on the thrust bearing and on the elevating screw about
once per month. Never oil the Rotating Arm Track. This track should
be cleaned occasionally with lacquer thinner
or carbon tetrachloride
to remove any dirt
or grease.
LUBRICATION
RIPPING: (FIGURE 31)
Your machine will rip to the center of a581 11." wide board. You can
rip boards up to
18" wide with the saw in the "in rip" position and
boards from 12" to 29" wide with the saw in the "out rip" position.
To set the machine to the
"in rip" position, (see Fig. 31), turn the
rotating arm to 0° position, turn the yoke to
your left until it auto-
matically indexes
in the position with the blade parallel to the fence,
between the fence and the motor. When using the
"in rip" position,
lock the carriage on the rotating
arm track at the desired width of
the board to be ripped. Lower the blade into the rip trough, feed the
material through from the right hand side as shown
in Fig. 31. Never
rip from the anti-kickback side
of the guard. Always tilt the guard so
that the ripping end just clears the work, lower the anti-kickback arm
until the grips hang
Ys" below the work. Never rip without using the
guard and anti-kickback grips.
To Set the Machine to the
"Out Rip" Position, turn the yoklt to
your right until
it indexes parallel to the fence with the motor between
the fence and the blade.
The "out rip" cutting operation is performed
In the same manner as the "in rip" but since cutting head is turned
180° the work is fed from the left instead of from the right. The "out
rip" position is normally used only for ripping wider than 18", Long
work should be supported, as it comes through the blade and over the
opposite end
of the table to prevent it from kicking up into the blade.

see ACCESSORIES section under BLADES and under WORK
SUPPORT STAND.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING: (FIGURE 32)
To make aclean bevel crosscut without making additional grooves
in
your work table, it will be necessary for you to make an auxiliary
table which fits between the table boards in place of the fence and will
hold the work above your worktable top. (See Fig. 33.) However, for
those who don't mind cutting extra grooves in the work table top,
bevel cuts from I° to 65° can be made without the use of an auxiliary
table.
Any bevel cut beyond 65° is almost an edge cut and cannot be
done without the auxiliary table. To cut the bevel groove in your
table, set the rotating arm at 0°, set the blade to your desired angle
on the bevel tilt scale, and proceed to make another ~{2' deep groove
in the work table top in the same way you cut the 0° crosscut groove.
After making the auxiliary table or bevel groove, hold your work in
place on the auxiliary table (see Fig. 34), or on the work table top with
one hand. If using an auxiliary table, have the blade behind the work
and low enough to make a clean-cut. If using your work table top,
have the blade behind the fence in the bevel groO\e you made for the
cut. Pull the blade through, push it to the back and turn switch off.
(FIGURE 34)
FIGURE 33
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING FIGURE 34
BEVEL MITER CUTTING: (FIGURE 35)
Bevel miter cuts can be made in right or left hand miter position.
The auxiliary table shown in Fig. 33, makes this operation much
easier. However, you may make abevel miter cut with abevel angle
between I° and 65° on the regular work table top, if you don't mind
making more preliminary groove cuts as described under Bevel Cross-
cutting in your work table top. Fig. 35 illustrates abevel miter cut
being made on the auxiliary table. The cutting operation is performed
in the same manner as described under Bevel Crosscutting.
BEVEL RIPPING: (FIGURE 36)
Bevel rip cuts are made in the same manner as a straight rip cut.
Tilt the motor to your desired angle of bevel on the bevel tilt scale,
lock it
in place and proceed with the cut as described under Ripping.
(See Fig. 36.)
DADOING: (FIGURES 37 and 38)
Use Toolkraft No. 50-93F, or 50-93G with your Radial Arm Saw
for dado grooves. See ACCESSORIES-DADOS for prices. A dado
head consists of 2 outside blades and inside chipper blades which are
used to adjust the width of cut to your desired size. Toolkraft Dado
Saw No. 50-93F consists of 2 outer blades 5' 0.0. and 5 chipper
blades ~fi' thick giving you atotal of "16' "ide cut capacity. Toolkraft
Dado Saw No. 50-93G is 6' 0.0. x 1;16' "ide and consists of the 2
outer saws and two '/s' thick chipper blades. one 1-(6" thick chipper
BEVEL MITER CUTTING FIGURE 35
-Page 14-

blade, and one ~. thick chipper blade. The outside blades of dado
sets can
be used alone, the chipper blades cannot. Additional widths
may
be obtained by using paper shims between the blades of the dado
head. When using the full
';(6' width of dado head 50-93G the outer
arbor washer may be left off. For doing cross dadoing, follow the
procedure described under "Crosscutting." (See Fig. 37.)
For angle
dadoing follow procedure described under
"Right and Left Hand
Mitering."
For dado ripping and ploughing the length of aboard see
"Bevel Ripping" section.
For rabbetting, the motor should be locked
at 900(see Fig. 38). Use
your elevating crank handle and depth scale
for setting depth
of cut. ALWAYS USE GUARD WHEN CUTTING
WITH DADO SAW.
MOLDING: (FIGURE 39)
Use Toolkraft Shaping and Molding Cutter Head No. 1120 with
various knives (see Fig. 40), for doing shaping
and molding work.
See Accessories Section-Shaping and Molding Cutters-for price.
Put the shaping
and molding cutter head on the saw arbor. Position
the cutting head to 900as
in Fig. 39, and feed work into the knives
using the fence as aguide.
It may be necessary to cut anotch in the
fence to provide clearance for the cutter knives. ALWAYS

SHAPING: (FIGURE 41)
Your Radial Arm Saw can be easily converted to an excellent shaper
by purchasing the accessories referred to in this section. In addition
to the features
of an ordinary shaper your Radial Arm Saw shaper cut-
ting head can be moved forward
or backward and can be tilted to bring
any
part of athree lip shaper cutter against the work. These features
will enable you to cut many different shapes with each cutter.
To con-
vert
your machine simply remove the guard and saw blade, loosen the
bevel lock and swing the
motor up until the bevel index pin automatic-
ally stops the
motor in the inverted position with the accessory shaft
end perpendicular to the worktable. Attach the three lip shaping
cutter
to Toolkraft 900-435 shaping cutter adaptor and screw this assembly
into the rear shaft
of the motor. Then make up an adjustable fence of
your own design or purchase TOOLKRAFf SHAPING AND JOINT-
ING FENCE accessory, No. 900-457, which is shown in Figure 41. If
you decide to make up your own fence, the left hand section should be
made adjustable to be used with three lip shaping knives and
adaptor
No. 900-435-1. Complete instructions on mounting the TOOLKRAFf
SHAPING AND JOINTING FENCE are included with this accessory.
After
your fence or the 900-457 fence has been installed, lock the
carriage in place on the rotating
arm track and raise or lower thecutting
head with the elevating
crank handle until the cutter knife will come
into play
at your desired location. Feed the work into and against the
knives.
Your Radial Arm Saw rotates slower than arouter shapero You
must compensate for this by feeding the work slower. Fig.
41 illustrates
one use
of athree lip shaper cutter. See Fig. 51 for illustration of Tool-
kraft Model 900-457 Shaping and Jointing Fence accessory which will
also convert
your saw to an aceurately performing jointer. See Fig. 42
for available knife shapes. See

ROUTING: (FIGURE 43)
Your machine can be easily converted to arouter by purchasing the
accessories referred to
in this section. Routing is done with the motor
in the vertical position. Screw the router adaptor 900-440 into the rear
motor shaft. (See Fig. 43 for illustration.) Use standard router bits
with
1;2", ~6" or %" shank diameters by slipping the proper sleeve
into the router
adaptor and locking the sleeve and router in place
with the set sere
ws on each side of the adaptor body. Set the rotating
arm

SURFACE SANDING: (FIGURE 46)
By purchasing Toolkraft rotary sander No. 4004 and router adaptor
No. 900-440 you can convert your machine for surface sanding opera-
tions. (See Fig. 46.) There are two methods of doing surface sanding
with your Radial Arm Saw. The most common method would be to
feed the work under the sander. Another method would be to move the
motor in and out on the rotating arm track while you shift the material
along
the fence until the entire surface is sanded. For both methods
the motor should be placed in the same vertical position as for shaping
and rClwing. Slip the 1;''' insert into the 900-440 adaplClr. insert the
rotary
sander shank into the sleeve and lock it securely with the set
s~rews on each side of the adaptor body. Screw this assembly iuto the
rear threaded motor shaft. Raise or lower the motor until the sander
is "64" below the highest spot of your material. Always sand with the
grain if
it is possible. If you find it necessary to go deeper to clean up
the material, :ower the cutting head and repeat the entire operation.
Use 50 to 60 grit sandpaper for rough stock removal. When using
sandpaper this coarse leave ~2" of stock for your finish sanding opera-
tion. For finish sanding use 120 grit or finer as required. See ACCES-
SORIES section under SANDING for prices and description of Tool-
kraft No. 4004 rotary sander. See ACCESSORIES under ADAPTORS
for 900-440 description and price.
DRUM SANDING: (FIGURE 47)
Toolkraft No. 4000 and 4001 sanding drum sets may be purchased
to convert
your Radial Arm Saw to an excellent tilting arbor drum
sander. (See Fig. 47.) For details and prices of No. 4000 and 4001
sanding
drum sets see ACCESSORIES section under SANDING
DISCS AND DRUMS. To convert your machine, turn the motor to
the vertical position. Insert the drum sander into the proper sleeve
and
adaptor No. 900-440. Screw this assembly into the rear motor
shaft. Slide the carriage over the arbor clearance cutout in the table
and use the elevating
crank handle to lower the drum into this slot.
As the grit becomes
worn on the sanding drum, lower it further into
the arbor clearance cutout to bring anew section of the drum into
play. Use 50 or 60 grit sleeves for rough sanding and 120 grit or finer
for finishing.
SURFACE PLANING: (FIGURE 48)
You can easily convert your Radial Arm Saw for use as a surface
planer by purchasing Toolkraft rotary surface planer No. 4060 and
adaptor No. 900-440. See ACCESSORIES section under PLANER
and ADAPTORS. To convert turn the motor to the vertical position
and install rotary planer with adaptor in the same manner as de-
scribed
under routing and surface sanding. (See Fig. 48.) You may
push the cutter over your material while shifting the material in along
the fence until the entire surface of the material is planed. You may
also lock the carriage on the rotating arm and feed the material along
the fence and under the planer. When you have planed one strip off
the material, unlock
the carriage clamp, slide the cutting head back
to the edge
of the first cut and repeat the operation until the entire
surface is planed. The amount of stock which you can remove in one
rass is determined by the density of the material you are working with.
You may plane
up to l/S" off soft material in one pass. For hard wood
adjust the cutter up or down as necessary to get full working capacity
from the motor without overloading it.

DRILLING: (FIGURE 49)
You may purchase Toolkraft key type chuck XM-858, chuck wrench
No. XM-862
and adaptor No. 900-450 to easily convert your machine
for horizontal drilling operations.
There is an almost infinite number
of working arrangements that can be made for straight drilling, angle
drilling, end drilling
and edge drilling. Fig. 49 illustrates astraight
horizontal drilling operation.
The guard was removed to provide a
clear view
of the operation. For safe operation you should use the
guard to cover the saw arbor. Be sure to remove the blade when setting
your machine up for drilling. To convert to drilling, simply remove the
guard
and blade, replace the guard, screw the adaptor 900-450 into the
rear
motor shaft and slip the chuck onto the adaptor. The speed of
the motor makes it necessary for you to use only standard right hand
cutting drills which are designed for medium to high speed operation.
Do not use multi-spur bits, expansive bits, or drills over
¥.!. diameter.
Set the cutting head
in position with the drill parallel to the work
table, hold the material in place
and feed the drill into it by pushing
the cutting head along the
rotating arm track. You can drill into the
work
at an angle by setting the rotating arm at your desired angle on
th~ miter scale and feeding the drill into the material in the same
manner as above. Drilling ll10y also be done by feeding the work into
the drill.
To do this you should build ajig or fixlure 10 guide your
material. Fasten the jig to your work table, set the drill in desired
position
in the jig and lock it in place. Place your material against the
guide on the jig
and feed it into the drill. See ACCESSORIES section
under
CHUCKS and under ADAPTORS for description and price
of chuck and adaptor.
BUFFING: (FIGURE 50)
By purchasing adaptor No. 900-435 and buffing and polishing kit
No. 4090 you can easily convert
