Other means would include ensuring that the gullet width does not exceed that required for the tools cutting diameter. How safe is it to use? - is there limited cutter projection, or other means to achieve the same effect, that will limit the extent of an injury in the event of hand contact during use? However, the most important factor when considering options to use for grooving on hand-fed machines is: the tool dimensions - cutting diameter, kerf and bore diameter.the name and trademark of the manufacturer or supplier,.A possible reason is that they are considered by manufacturers to be a circular saw blade, not a milling tool, and are marked as such with: In practice there is evidence that, in some cases, tool suppliers are not meeting these requirements fully as many tools supplied for grooving on a vertical spindle moulder do not have all of this information marked on them, particularly the "MAN" for hand feed, sometimes having BG Test information instead.
the tool dimensions - cutting diameter (maximum cutting circle), cutting width and bore diameter."MAN" indicating that it is for hand feed and.the name and trademark of the manufacturer or supplier.Tools used on hand-fed machines such as spindle moulders should have marked on them: Whilst it is recommended in Safe use of woodworking machinery (PUWER 1998 as applied to woodworking machinery) that for grooving a properly guarded vertical spindle moulder (or router) is the most suitable machines for the job, there are some unclear areas with regard to the tooling used for grooving, particularly for marking. Use of jig for curved work Grooving on a Vertical Spindle Moulder However, it can be dangerous if not used correctly, because of the risk of contact with the tool, and ejection of the tool part or workpiece. One of the most versatile machines in woodworking, it can be used for mouldings, rebates and curved work.
