Spindle moulder question

[jfc]

I need to cut some ogee for a large skirting board i have been asked to make but part of the cutter will need to go above the timber , stopping me using the power feed .



My question is , is it common practice to remove the center wheel on the power feed to get over this or do i go back to using the shaw gaurd and hold down ?

You should be able to swivel the feed head around so it works horizontally - holding the workpiece onto the fence instead of pressing down on to the table. You tilt it slightly towards the outfeed side so it has a downwards component keeping the work on the table and you might need rollers or something to support the ends.

oooooo i'll check that out in the morning

and do your cutting list first - then you can reduce most of it to easy handleable sizes.
Glad to see you are getting in to spindlemoulding. As I've said often - it's a brilliant machine.

Don't do that. I'm sure I can give it a good home and a peaceful retirement amongst friends up here in the rolling Pennines..... ;D

You need to get the powerfeed looking something like this .

I suppose that's a change from "That's not a knife, this is a knife....."

[mrgrimsdale]

and you have to reverse the direction - you've probably been wondering why this was possible (assuming it is on your kit, it's normal)

It still worries the crap out of me, even after all these years. I probably spend more time checking everythings locked and set up right than I do running it.
Mind you it only takes a lump of flying Oak to make you think
