Delta 32-100 - Depth of Cut Control.12; Checking and Adjusting Depth of Cut.12; Foot Pedal.12; Adjusting Foot Pedal Cable.12

DEPTH OF CUT CONTROL
The Delta Plate Joiner has the capability of cutting slots
in wood to accommodate three biscuit sizes, 0, 10 and
20, as shown in Fig. 27.
The lines (A), (B) and (C) Fig. 27, on the fence and table,
indicate the width of cut for each biscuit size:
(A) - For size “0” biscuit
(B) - For size “10” biscuit
(C) - For size “20” biscuit
Line (D) Fig. 27, indicates the center line of the cut to be
made for size “0”, “10” and “20“ biscuits.
To adjust the depth of cut for different size biscuits rotate
dial (E) Fig. 28, until the pointer (F) is pointing to the
desired size of slot you wish to cut, for either “0”, “10”
or “20” biscuit.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
DEPTH OF CUT
1. Rotate dial (E) Fig. 28, until the pointer (F) is pointing
to the desired size of slot you wish to cut. NOTE: In this
case we will be making a test cut for a size “0” biscuit.
2. Make a test cut in a scrap piece of wood.
3. Insert a size “0” biscuit in the cut just made. The
biscuit should enter the wood slightly more than halfway
before it bottoms in the cut.
4. If the slot is too deep or not deep enough adjust the
depth of cut by loosening nut (G) Fig. 28, and tightening
or loosening screw (H). Continue to make test cuts until
the depth of cut is as stated in STEP 3. Then tighten
nut (G).
FOOT PEDAL
The Foot Pedal (A) Fig. 29, controls the lateral movement
of the biscuit cutter. Pressing down on the pedai (A) moves
the cutter out to make the cut and releasing pedal (A)
retracts the cutter. Fig. 29
ADJUSTING FOOT
PEDAL CABLE
When the foot pedal (A) Fig. 29, is depressed the bracket
(D) F ig. 30, moves forward until the adjusting screw (E)
contacts stop (F). When the machine is in this positon
(cutter exposed on the front of the fence) the boss iocated
directly underneath the top of the foot pedal (B) Fig. 29,
should be between 1/4 and 1/2 inch away from bottoming
on bottom plate (G) Fig. 29. If it is not, an adjustment to
the cable can be made by sliding back sleeve (H) Fig. 30,
and adjusting the cable by tightening and loosening the
two adjusting nuts (J) and (K) Fig. 30.
