MOLDING
Molding, also known as millwork or trim, can be defined
as a strip of wood milled with a plain or decorative sur-
face which is continuous throughout its length.
•
To get superior molding finish, workpiece must be
planed and presized prior to molding. Always presize
the workpiece to within '_6" of the final thickness
prior to molding.
•
During molding operation, do not exceed 1/4"total
depth of cut.
Certain molding profiles require outer edge clean-up.
When using such profiles the workpiece must be pre-
sized to 1/8"larger than the final width. This will allow 1_6,,
for clean-up on either side.
Certain molding profiles cut only the edge of the work-
piece. When using such profiles workpiece must be
presized to the same width as the final width.
INSTALLING
CUTTER
BITS
Refer to Figures 15, 16, 17 and 28, pages 8, 9 and 18.
NOTE: The cutter bits are mounted in the center of the
cutterhead (Key No. 47) using the 2" bit gibs (Key No.
42) provided. The cutter bits and the planing blades
(Key No. 44) are mounted in the cutterhead at the same
time so that planing and molding operations can be
done with the same set-up.
The bit setting gauge (see Figure 16) is used when
mounting three piece molding bits in the planer/molder
cutterhead. The gauge aligns the bits in the cutterhead
so that all three bits cut the workpiece in the same posi-
tion providing precise cuts and improved surface finish.
•
Turn the planer/molder off and unplug the
planer/molder from the power source.
•
Remove the blade cover and chip deflector (Key
Nos. 8 and 15).
•
Using the 5mm socket head bolt (Key No. 9) used to
mount the blade cover, mount the bit setting gauge
to the top of the planer/molder as shown in Figure 16.
•
Position the bit setting gauge so that the molding bits
are positioned in cutterhead as required. Tighten the
5mm socket head bolt.
•
Loosen two set screws (Key No. 41) on the 2" bit gib
(Key No. 42) located in the center of the cutterhead.
•
Use the brass punch provided to gently tap the gib
down into the cutterhead slot.
•
Tap until the gib is loose and can be moved.
•
Remove the 1" spacers (Key No. 43) as needed.
•
Be sure the cutterhead slot and gibs are clean and
free of any dirt, grease, chips or burrs.
•
Place the cutter bits in the cutterhead slot in place of
the spacers.
•
Insert the first cutter bit to be mounted between the
bit gib and planer blade.
•
Slide the cutter bit against edge of the cutter bit
setting gauge and tighten the cutter bit/bit gib
combination in the cutterhead.

Figure 16 - Using the Bit Setting Gauge to Install Cutter Bits
•
To mount more than one cutter bit in each cutter-
head slot, for example, tongue and groove cutter bits
(23302), additional set of three bit gibs is required.
Use replacement parts list, page 19, Key No. 42 to
order.
•
Remove one or both cutterhead gibs (Key No. 40) as
needed after loosening the set screws (Key No. 41)
and tapping gibs down.
•
Place the bit gib in the cutterhead slot at the desired
position.
•
Insert the cutter bit between the bit gib and planer
blade, and tighten cutter bit/bit gib combination.
•
Rotate the cutterhead and mount the remaining cut-
ter bits using the bit setting gauge to align bits.
•
Be sure all bits and gibs are tight and secure.
•
Remove the bit setting gauge and replace the blade
cover and chip deflector. Check that chip deflector
plate does not interfere with bits (see Figure 15). If
necessary, adjust plate using wing nuts.
WARNING:
Never operate planer/molder without blade
cover and chip deflector properly mounted.
CAUTION:
In order to prevent damage to cutterhead,
caution must be exercised when mounting gibs in the
cutterhead slots.

Always tighten the gibs gradually and tighten the
three gibs in the cutterhead slot at the same time.
