3. Using the collar between the two cutters has
the advantages and disadvantages of the first
two procedures, and is frequently used where
both edges of the work are to be molded,
Figure 44.
Note: It is advisable to place the cutter as low as
possible on the spindle to reduce spindle deflectio n
and ensure the best possible finish. Also make
sure that the contacting surfaces of the cutter are
smooth, clean and without dents.
Starting Pin
Use of the starting pin should
only be attempted by advanced users. If you
have never used this method, it is
recommended you get training from a qualified
person. Failure to comply may result in serious
injury.
The starting pin is used to support the work when
starting the cut.
1. The work should be placed in the position 1,
(Figure 45), using the starting pin as a support
2. Swing the work into the cutter as shown in the
position 2. The work is now supported by the
starting pin and the collar.
3. After the cut has been started, the work is
swung free of the starting pin and only rides
against the collar (Figure 46). Always feed
against the cutterhead rotation.
