HMD Hydraulic Table
1. This factory-installed hydraulic-powered worktable
replaces the standard table. The HMD-36 table's
working surface is 34 by 42 inches (863.6 by 1066.8
mm) and a has a 36 inch (914.4 mm) table stroke.
The HMD-60 table's working surface is 34 by 68
inches (863.6 by 1727.2 mm) with a 60 inch (1524.0
mm) table stroke.
2. Information covering installation, operation and
maintenance of the optional HMD-36 or 60 table are
provided in a seperate instruction manual included
with the machine.
AIR-POWERED WORKTABLE
This attachment reduces the machine's work
height capacity by one (1) inch (25.4 mm).
1. This optional worktable provides a 24 by 30-1/2 inch
(609.6 by 774.7 mm) working surface with coolant
return troughs. The worktable can be tilted up to
6° left and 45° right when using this attachment. It
has two (2) T-slots for work xture clamping.
Air-Powered Worktable.
2. The worktable's air-amplied feed system is lever
controlled and allows 12 inches (304.8 mm) of work-
table travel. Light hand pressure against the lever
will move the worktable in forward motion. Release
the lever and pull back the worktable manually.
3. The worktable has a work rest pin that acts as a
workstop when inserted into the sawing slot. Other
worktable features are: (a) A squaring bar that ts
into a worktable T-slot to hold stockpieces during
production sawing; (b) Locks that permit the loading
and positioning of heavy stock; (c) Special center
plates for ling and polishing operations.
Set-Up
1. Position the workstops located on the left side of
the worktable to limit travel. The front stop controls
cut depth; the rear stop minimizes unnecessary
travel. Stops are positioned by: (a) Loosening the
locknuts; (b) Sliding the stops to the desired posi-
tion; and (c) Tightening the locknuts.
2. To tilt the worktable: (a) Use the wrench provided
to reach through the machine frame and under
the worktable to loosen the tilt locknut; (b) Tilt the
worktable manually until the pointer reaches de-
sired angle shown on the scale; (c) Tighten the tilt
locknut.
Production Sawing
1. Place the rest pin into the worktable's sawing slot
to serve as a workstop. Then: (a) Place the squar-
ing bar in the worktable's T-slot to act as the stock
holder. Remove the rest pin and squaring bar
for contour sawing.
2. Place stock on the worktable and secure it at the
desired position. Then: (a) Use the control lever to
carefully move the table forward until the saw band
has just started cutting into the workpiece; (b) Push
the control lever to obtain the desired feed force
(feed force will return to zero (0) when the lever is
released).
UNIVERSAL CALIBRATED WORK FIXTURE
(Used with Air Table Option)
Set-Up for Straight Cut-Off
1. Place the xture on the worktable at the required
distance from the saw band. Then: (a) Loosely
install T-nuts and screws; (b) If necessary, align
the scale's zero (0) mark with the saw band, then
"zero" the pointer.
2. Place socket head screws loosely in the T-nuts
projecting up from below the back-up bar. Then:
(a) Place the T-nuts in the worktable T-slots; (b)
Slide the work xture's back-up edge to a distance
equal to the desired length of cut. Be sure to allow
enough clearance for positioning the stock.
