Boring
End Grain
When boring
end grain, use the miter gauge to align the workpiece with
the bit. Adjust the safety grip to the thickness of the stock.
Note: When boring end grain, adjust the speed one to two letters
slower than you normally would. End grain is much tougher
than edge grain.
If the
workpiece is less than 30" long (Model 500) or 55" long (Model
510), mount the rip fence on either the table or the extension
table and use it as a backstop. If the piece is longer than
30" or 55"and you have to work without a backstop, clamp the
workpiece to the table.
Adjust
the table height and depth control as desired, make a four-point
check. The power plant, carriage, table height and table tilt
locks must be secure. As you feed the bit, don't be alarmed
if it takes more pressure than usual to bore the hole.
