THE UNIVERSAL CALlBRATED WORK FIXTURE (Air powered table only)
The universal work fixture is clamped to the table and holds the workpiece in position while
it is moved into the saw band. The foot switch may be used if desired. Use the following
procedure for setting up the fixture.
A.
Set up for straight cut-off.
(1)
The fixture bar is bolted to the table with T nuts and socket head cap screws. Place bar
on table at required distance from band and loosely install nuts and screws.*
(2)
Square bar to table by lining up one edge of movable stop with one edge of table slot.
Next tighten the two socket head screws.
(3)
After work fixture has been set up, a kerf can be sawed into bar 1/16 in. to 1/8 in. deep.
This will allow cutting completely through workpiece. Set adjustable table stops to
prevent sawing deeper into work bar upon completion of cut.
Setting up the fixture for angle sawing
Square the bar to the table T slots.
B.
Set up for angle cut-off.
(1)
Remove right hand T-nut and socket head screw from bar. Loosen left hand screw.
(2)
Turn bar to desired angle and tighten left hand screw.
(3)
Mount collar (behind bar) loosely on T nut with socket head screw. Bring collar up
snugly against bar and tighten screw.
If necessary, align zero mark on scale with saw band, then zero the pointers.
