It is necessary when using the moulding cutterhead to
add wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence, as
shown in Fig. 117. The wood-facing is att ached to the fence
with wood screws through holes which must be drilled in
the fence. 3/4 inch stock is suit able for most work
although an occasional job may require 1 inch facing.
Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the
cutterhead below the surface of the table. T urn the saw
on and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut it s
own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 117, shows a typical
moulding operation. NEVER USEMOULDING CUTTER-
HEADINA BEVEL POSITION.
IMPORTANT: NEVER R U N THE STO C K BETWEENTHE
FENCE AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD AS IR-
REGULARSHAPED WOODWILL CAUSE KICKBACK.
When moulding end grain, the miter gage is used. The feed should be slowed up at the end of the cut
to prevent splintering.
In all cuts, attention should be given the grain, making the cut in the same direction as the grain when -
ever possible.

Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work.
Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws
and four or five inside cutters, as shown in Fig. 118.
Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut
grooves from 1/8† to 13/16 † for use in shelving, making
joint s, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily
swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion
falls in the gullet s of the out side saws, as shown in
Fig. 119. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 120,
(A) being the out side saw, (B) an inside cutter , and (C) a
paper washer or washers which can be used as needed
to control the exact wid th of groove. A 1/4 † groove is cut
by using the two outside saws. The teeth of the saws
should be positioned so that the raker on one saw is
beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.
