However, minor adjustments might be necessary because rough handling in shipment or unpacking may have disturbed the set­ tings. Check your machine carefully; assemble the carriage and motor assembly; assemble the table parallel to the rotating arm; make sure the blade is square to the table top, the cross cut blade travel is square FIGURE 3 to the fence, and the blade does not heel. FOLLOW EACH STEP AS WE HAVE OUTLINED THEM IN THIS SECTION. FIRST UNPACK: Your Toolkraft Radial Arm Saw is shipped assembled except for the yoke and motor assembly and the work table assembly. Remove the machine from the box and be sure that all parts have been removed from the packaging before discarding. THEN CLEAN: Remove protective coating from rotating arm track with kerosene or \arsol. INSTALL YOKE AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY: Your machine's yoke and motor are packaged in the small carton which is taped to the base center support bars. Follow the steps listed below to install this assembly.

    Compliments of Fine Woodworking TOOL TEST Routers for Router Tables New-breed models spare you the expense of a router lift BY ROLAND JOHNSON ABOVE-TABLE ADJUSTMENTS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE A table-mounted router can be very versatile.

That gives more precise control over a variety of work, us- ing bits that otherwise would be too big to use safely. A table allows the use of feather- boards, hold-downs, a miter gauge, and other aids that won’t work with a hand- held router. With a table-mounted router, you can create moldings on large or small stock, make raised panels using large bits, cut sliding dovetails, and much more. Until recently, the best way to marry router and table was with a router lift, an expensive device that holds the router and allows you to change bits and adjust cut- ting height from above the table.

    Practical Implementation of the Stream Function Method for Design of Arbitrary-Geometry Gradient Coils

    Practical Implementation of the Stream Function Method for Design of Arbitrary-Geometry Gradient Coils R. A. Lemdiasov1, R. Ludwig2 1Insight Neuroimaging Systems, Worcester, MA, United States, 2ECE Department, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, United States Introduction Over the past several years a variety of theoretical design methods for the construction of gradient coils have been developed. For instance, in [1] D. Green et al. minimize a weighted combination of power, inductance, and the square difference between actual and desired field. Representing the current as a Fourier series they find optimal coefficients that minimize the cost function. Our work is a continuation of last year’s research reported in [2]. In this paper we describe an alternative implementation of a stream function method to design gradient coils. Using this method we are able to determine the current distribution to achieve a prescribed magnetic field distribution in the Region of Interest (ROI) that is largely independent of the shape of the current-carrying surface. We will demonstrate the successful implementation of our approach as well as experimental results. Theory As mentioned above, a cost function Φ can be introduced in the form K Φ = 1 ()() ()− ()+ 2 +α ∑W rk Bz rk Bdes,z rk Boff ,z Wmagn (1) 2 k =1 () () where W r is a weight function, BZ is the z-component of the total field, Bdes,z r as well as Boff,z are the z-components of the desired and offset magnetic field, and α Wmagn is magnetic energy with being a weight coefficient. In (1), the first term denotes the square deviation of the magnetic field from the prescribed field, and the second term is the magnetic energy of the coil.

  • Types of Tap

    Types of Tap

    Types of Tap HAND TAPS ISO 529 These are straight flute general purpose tools which can be used for both machine or hand tapping. They are generally the most economical tool for use on production runs, but are best on materials that produce chips, or where the swarf breaks readily. Where deep holes are to be tapped, in materials which produce stringy swarf, serial taps may be needed, especially for coarse threads. ISO 529 hand taps can be supplied in sets of three; bottom, second and taper leads, or individually. BOTTOM TAPS have a chamfer (lead) of 1–2 threads, the angle of the lead being around 18 degrees per side. They are used to produce threads close to the bottom of blind holes. SECOND TAPS have a lead of 3-5 threads at 8 degrees per side. They are the most popular and can be used for through holes, or blind holes where the thread does not need to go right to the bottom. TAPER TAPS have a lead of 7-10 threads at 5 degrees per side. The taper lead distributes the cutting force over a large area, and the taper shape helps the thread to start. They can therefore be used to start a thread prior to use of second or bottom leads, or for through holes. IMPORTANT NOTE ON TERMINOLOGY! In the U.K. bottom taps are often referred to as ‘plugs’. In North America second taps are often referred to as ‘plugs’! This can easily lead to confusion. To avoid problems when ordering it is best to use the terms bottom, second and taper.
  • Power Tool Guide 05J50.01

    Power Tool Guide 05J50.01

    Power Tool Guide 05J50.01 The Veritas® Power Tool Guide is a collapsible straightedge that can be clamped to any material under 1" thick. The 52" tool guide (05J50.03) can be clamped across sheet material up to 52". The 8' Power Tool Guide (05J50.01), or the 48" tool guide extension (05J50.04) added to the 52" tool guide, can be clamped across sheet material up to 100". The advantage this guide has over other 8' guides is that it may be dismantled quickly and easily for cutting smaller sheet material as well as for easier storage or transport. The guide includes a pair of 1" capacity clamps that can be positioned anywhere along its length. For clamping material thicker than plywood sheets, a pair of 2" capacity clamps (05J50.09) is available separately. An optional 12" traveller (05J50.02) used in conjunction with a user-made base plate ensures that your power tool will effortlessly follow the intended line with greater safety. The utility of the traveller is further enhanced with the optional position stop (05J50.10) that clamps onto either guide rail. Figure 1: Veritas® Power Tool Guide. Safety Rules These safety instructions are meant to complement those that came with your power tool. We suggest that you reread those, in addition to these listed here before you begin to use this product. To use this product safely, always follow both sets of safety and general instructions. 1. Read the manual. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations as well as the specific hazards related to the tool.

When working on power equipment, keep fingers away from saw blades, wear safety goggles to prevent injuries from flying wood chips and sawdust, wear hearing protection and consider installing a dust vacuum to reduce the amount of air- borne sawdust in your woodshop. Don’t wear loose clothing, such as neckties or shirts with loose sleeves, or jewelry, such as rings, necklaces or bracelets, when working on power equipment. Tie back long hair to prevent it from getting caught in your equipment. People who are sensitive to certain chemicals should check the chemical con- tent of any product before using it.
