Spring Cutting; Fence Movement - Powermatic 60C Manual De Operación Y Partes

After the outfeed table has been set at the
correct height, it should not be changed except
for special operations or after replacing knives.
Examples of incorrect settings:
If the outfeed table is too high, the finished
surface of the workpiece will be tapered (Figure
23).
If the outfeed table is too low, the work will be
gouged at the end of the cut (Figure 24)
As a final check of the outfeed table adjustment,
run a piece of wood slowly over the knives for 6
to 8 inches; it should rest firmly on both tables
(Figure 25) with no open space under the
finished cut.

Spring Cutting

Refer to Figure 26.
To spring cut, the outfeed table is lowered below
the level of the cutterhead, as shown in Figure
26. Loosen both gib screws (A) on the outfeed
table. Amount of end-drop is controlled with the
table lock screw (B). Tighten handle to reduce
amount of drop. A 1/32" drop usually creates the
ideal concave for spring joints. After completing
a spring cut, return the outfeed table in line with
the cutterhead knives.

Fence Movement

Refer to Figure 27.
To slide the fence forward or backward on the
table, loosen lock handle (A), slide the fence to
desired position and tighten lock handle (A) to
secure fence. Lift up on fence when tilting or
sliding, to prevent scratching the table.
NOTE: The lock handle (A, Figure 27) may be
adjusted to a more convenient position by
loosening the hex nut below the casting (B,
Figure 28), turning the handle to the proper
position, and retightening the hex nut.
To tilt the fence forward:
1. Loosen locking handle (C, Figure 27).
2. Place an angle measuring device on the
table and against the fence. Tilt the fence to
desired angle using the handwheel, and
tighten locking handle (C) to secure the
setting.
To tilt the fence back:
1. Loosen locking handle (C, Figure 27).
2. Flip the stop block (D) out of the way.
3. Tilt the fence to desired angle using the
handwheel, and tighten locking handle (B)
to secure the setting.

When the tilted operation is
finished and the fence is returned to 90
degrees, don't forget to flip the stop block
back to its original position.
