MOLDING
HEAD CUTTER
Molding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the
workpiece.
Cutting moldings with a molding cutterhead
(not included) on the circular saw is a fast, safe and
clean operation.
The many different knife shapes avail-
able make it possible for the operator to produce almost
any kind of molding, such as various styles of corner
moulds, picture frames, table edges, etc.

The molding head consists of a cutterhead (A) in which
you can mount various shapes of steel knives (B).
Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove
in the cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw.
The knife grooves (C) should be kept free of sawdust,
which would prevent the cutter from seating properly.
See figure 26-1.
• The blade guard and splitter assembly cannot be
used when dadoing or molding and must be swung to
the rear of the saw. Blade guard must be reassem-
bled when finished.

Figure 26-2 shows the molding cutterhead is assembled
to the saw arbor as shown.
If the outside arbor flange (D) cannot be used with the
molding cutterhead, tighten the arbor nut (E) against
the cutterhead body. Do not lose the outside arbor
flange, for it will be needed when reattaching a blade to
the saw arbor. Also, an accessory molding cutterhead
table insert (F) (not included) must be used in place of
the standard table insert. See figure 26-2.

H
It is necessary when using the molding cutterhead to
add a wood facing (G) to the face of the rip fence (H).
The wood facing is attached to the fence with fasteners.
A 3/4-inch facing is suitable for most work although an
occasional job may require 1-inch facing.
See figure
26-3.
Position the wood facing over the cutterhead with the
cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw
on and raise the cutterhead slowly. The cutterhead will
cut its own groove in the wood facing.
• Never use molding cutterhead in a bevel position.
• Never run the workpiece between the fence and the
molding cutterhead as irregular shaped wood will
cause kickback.
CAUTION
• When molding end grain, the miter gauge must be
used. The feed should be slowed up at the end of
the cut to prevent splintering
In all cuts, pay attention to the grain, making the cuts
in the same direction as the grain whenever possible.
