shaft(19),tilt the table to the desired position reading the angle on etched plate (22). Tighten clamping nuts (l4)before
doing any cutting.
The table also revolves on its trunnion through a complete revolution of 360 degrees. To revolve the table loosen
clamp nuts(15)and unscrew and remove tapered dowel pin (21). With a crank on worm shaft(16 or 20)the table may be
rotated to the desired angle which is read on the graduations at (l17).Tighten clamp nuts (15)before doing any cutting.
When the table is returned to the upright position dowel pin(21) may be replaced thereby assuring the exact
positioning of the table.
If the table is rotated 90 degrees to the left it will present a large flat working surface with T slots similar to a plain
table.
