Use the adjusting lever
[5-2]
to adjust the width of
the dowel hole you intend to cut for an adequate fit
or set with 3 mm play:
You can see on the display
[5-1]
what dowel hole
width is selected.
Setting the Mortise Depth
The mortising depth determines how deep into the
workpiece the mortising bit penetrates. This needs
to be adjusted for different sized tenons.
In most cases, the tenon should be centered across
the joint, and the depth of the mortise should be ½
the length of the tenon. However, in some cases you
may want to have more of the tenon in one piece
than the other. In this case, the sum of the two
depths must equal the length of the tenon.
