Some profiles are too deep to make
on the W&H. In some cases you can
rotate the profile into a flatter
position to effectively reduce the
depth of cut. A
“vee block”
guide
would be made to guide your stock.
The profile knives would have to be
custom made to use in this vee block
position.
When making
tongue and groove stock
, a serious and detailed approach is needed in
order to achieve a uniform fit. Carefully pre-inspect your stock for cupping and warping.
You need to plane all your stock to one uniform size.
The guide thickness should be ¼” thinner than your stock or your
roller
will scuff on the
guides
when the stock has left the machine and the rollers are in their rest positions. When
running thin stock you will need to fasten a sub-plate between the guides to maintain a
thick enough guide to control your stock.
Always check your knife clearance to the guide.
Clear away any interfering portion
of
the guide.
MOLDING PICTURE FRAMES
Decide whether the rabbet or profile cut should be done first. If you are going to make the
rabbet on the W&H Molder, do the rabbet first. In order to utilize the W&H Molder for
rabbets, a rabbet knife with a depth of cut equivalent to the depth you need should be
ordered. If we do not have a standard knife with the depth you seek, we can make a
special knife to suit your needs.
