Cutting Types
1. Miter Cutting
Miter cutting can be done in two ways with the Hercules®
Deluxe Hot Wire Table: by adjusting the spool carrier on the
overarm or with the adjustable angle/ miter gauge.
Adjusting the spool carrier: loosen the screws 1 and 2 (Fig. 3) and
select the required angle by sliding the spool carrier. Tighten the
screw 1 again and tension the wire as usual.
Note: Adjusting the spool carrier will lengthen the heated part of
the wire and thus increase the electrical resistance. The
temperature must be adjusted accordingly.

Working with the angle/ miter gauge: Loosen Angle adjustment
screw 1 (Fig. 4) Select the desired angle on the miter gauge 17
(Fig. 1), and tighten the Angle adjustment screw. Loosen Rail
adjustment screw 4 (Fig. 5) and move the extension rail 2 (Fig. 5)
so that you can pass the cutting wire without difficulty. Tighten
Rail adjustment screw. Press the workpiece against the rail and
guide the stop along the slot.
