THE
HEAD.
The
cuEterhead
motor,
Fig,
1,
is
built
directly
onto a
nickel
chrome
steel
spindle
which
runs
on
precision
high
speed
bearings.
Blower
"B"
is
incorporated
in the
head
to
dislodge
chips
from
the
face
of the work.
Transparent
guard
"C",
which
can
be
swung
away
for
easy
access
to the
cutter,
gives
full
protection
to
the
operator
without
obstructing
his
view
of
the job. A
quick
acting
brake
and
also
a
spindle
lock
for
use
when
cutter
changing
are
incorp-
orated.
The
brake
is
operated
by
pressing
the knob "Dti
after
the
motor
has
been
switched
off.
The
lock
is
operated
by
sliding
the
lOCking
bar,
tiE
tI
, INWARDS to
lock
the
spindle
and
OUT
to
unlock.
Care
should
be
taken
not to
start
the
machine
whilst
the
locking
bar
is
in
position.
MOVEMENT
OF
THE
HEAD.
The
head
is
brought
down
and
locked
by
means
of the fa
at
treadle
(see
Fig.
II). A
touch
on
the
auxiliary
toe
pedal
disengages
the
ratchet
holding the
head
which
is
counterbalanced
so
that
it
rises
out
of the
work
automatically
The
travel
of the
head
is
limited
by
stops
for
movement
both
up
and
down. A
range
of
four
stops,
"G",
controls
the
downward
movement.
Anyone
of
these
stops
may
be
selected
by
means
of the hand
lever
"J",
A
long
stop
screw
"H"
gives
a
wide
range
of
movement
to the head.
The
upward
movement
of
the
head
is
controlled
by
an
adjustable
stop
"K",
To
reduce
the
travel
of
the
head the
locking
handwheel
"M"
is
first
loosened
and
the
stop
then
screwed
in a
clockwise
direction,
the
locking
handwheel
being
tightened
again
afterwards.
To
increase
the
travel
of the
head
the
stop
is
screwed
in
an
anti-
clockwise
direction.

The
table
can
be
supplied
in two
forms,
either
a
plain
table
as
Fig.
2,
or
one
with
compound
movements
as
illustrated
opposite.
For
general
routing
operations
using
jigs
with
shaped
formers
or
templates
a
plain
table
is
recommended.
When
heavy
cuts
are
required
where
it
is
necessary
to
clamp
the
work
to the
table
for
straight
work,
the
compound
table
is
ideal
using
the
longitudinal
and
transverse
movements.
It
is
not
possible
to
change
the
tables
after
the
machine
is
despatched.
Both
tables
have
a
removable
centre
plate
to
allow
the
cutter
to
work
below
the
surface
when
moulding,
etc.
A
series
of
holes
in the
tables
are
for
securing
fences,
for
straight
cutting
such
as
edge
moulding.
FORMER
OR GUIDE
PIN.
The
rO\lting
of
all
kinds
of
shaped
work
is
done
with
jigs,
the
cutter
reproducing
the
shape.
A
formed
shape
or
template
is
attached
to
the
underside
of
the
jig
and
is
worked
round
a
pin
proj
ecting
through
the
table
a$
shown
on
page
14
and
subsequent
pages.
The
pins
are
reversible
in the
plain
table,
each
end
being
made
a
different
size
to
correspond
with
the
diameter
of
the
cutter.
The
lever
"C",
Fig.4
(see
also
page
12)
gives
three
heights
of
the
pin
above
the
table
to
allow
for
different
depths
of
cut
or
sinking.
To
change
the
pins,
slacken
handle
"B"
on
holder
"D".
