Robland XSD310 - The Spindle Fence and Woodpushers (Fig. 14-15-16-17)

The spindle fence and woodpushers (fig. 14-15-16-17)
The spindle fence (fig.14) is fitted onto the table with two threaded knobs (1).
By loosening these two knobs, the complete fence can be slid to the front and back in the two
slots.
The fence plates (2+3) should always be set as close as possible to the outer tool diameter.
The depth of the back fence can be set and adjusted with the knob (4). To align both fences a
very precise, straight edge should be held against the fences and the back fence alignment,
adjusted in such a way that there is no gap left between both fences.
Before starting any work always make sure that all knobs and clamps are correctly locked.
Never operate the spindle-moulder without using the woodpusher safety device or a feeder.
A feeder is the safest way to work with a spindle moulder. The spindle- moulder table can be
equiped with a table extension and a pivoting feeder support. These enable the user to clear the
table simply by pivoting the complete feeder under the table extension without having to dis-
mantle it each time when the saw or planer is used.
This option can be ordered at your Robland dealer under ref. A42452.
In order to operate the spindle in a safe way, some adjustments must be made on the woodpus-
hers (fig.15-17).
1. Adjustment of the fences (1) as close as possible to the outer tool diameter.
2. Adjustment of the horizontal pusher (3) according to the width of the workpiece.
3. Adjustment of the vertical pusher (2) according to the height of the workpiece.
4. When both pushers are correctly adjusted, there is enough pressure exerted to hold the
workpiece against the fences.
5. The horizontal woodpusher (3) is to be set in such a way that the push stick (1) can be used.
Therefore, the screen of the horizontal pusher should not be set lower than 10 mm above the
table.
To change tools, the whole pusher system can be cleared by flipping it over to the back of the
spindle fence.
1. Pull lever (fig.16,1) to the right to unlock the system.
2. Lift up a little the cover plate (fig.17,5).
Now the system can be flipped over to the back. To put it back in place simply lift the cover
plate up again (fig.17,5) to clear it from the lock (fig.16,3) and push the system to the front.
The cover plate (fig.17,5) will lock itself automatically and prevent the woodpushers
from flipping over to the back.
