You will need to add the thickness of your sub plate to the thickness of your stock to know
where to set your machine head.
Example: ¾” piece of molding stock, plus ½” of sub plate
equals 1 ¼”. Set machine head at 1 ¼” on your scale to achieve proper roller tension and a safe
operation.
Be sure to
check for sufficient feed roller contact
before proceeding to use this setup.
Be sure to rotate your molding knives to
check for rotation clearance
with the power off before
starting the machine.
You may also use your fence and flex guide directly on the machine bed and extension plates.
Just remove your MDF sub plate and reinstall your guides using your 1” carriage bolts in place
of the 1 ½” bolts you were using with your sub plate.
In the following pages you will see other applications using the GS1 system.
