Application of multifunctional equipment in practice
Multifunctional woodworking machines are quite complex equipment, therefore, before starting work it is necessary to read the instructions for its use, so as not to face problems or the need for repairs. About that, how to use such equipment, not every experienced carpenter knows.
Therefore, it is mandatory to study the instructions. However, it should be noted, that regardless of the manufacturer, all models of multifunctional machines have the same principle of operation. The practice of using this equipment will be discussed below. As an example we will take the multipurpose Performax PKM machine 300.
Among all the features, which have modern models of woodworking equipment, the most popular is sawing material. This is not surprising, after all, most modern units have a fairly large desktop, that allows to carry out sawing of preparations without problems.
If you need to cut a wooden product to the stop, then in this case the important point is the width of the workpiece. The importance of this factor is significant for that reason, that the machines have different sizes of desktops.
Most modern models of woodworking machines have the ability to cut wood blanks at a certain angle and even inclination.
This is due to the fact, that saw blade, present in the equipment of carpentry equipment can be returned. Only some models can rotate the desktop.
However, not all multi-operation machines can rotate the saw blade. Some manufacturers do not implement this feature in their models for this reason, that it complicates the design of the machine. But still light blanks, do not differ much in weight and size, can be dissolved at an angle, by pressing to the side stop, which can be tilted.
If the stop is moved behind a separate guide bar, on which there is a scale, then such equipment can be considered a good choice for a home builder. And all because, what, using it, the owner gets the opportunity to lock the workpiece at the right angle.
In some cases, the emphasis may be shifted to the plane of the table. In this case, the adjustment is performed using tools, designed for measurement.
All multi-operational machines for processing wooden blanks have the function of grouting. Expensive models are equipped with a reysmus. This makes it possible to perform finishing of workpieces.
If the machine you bought has a firm focus, then you will not have great difficulties with the removal of the chamfer or layer on the plane. But it is better to stand on the side of the machine from the side, which is closer to the saw blade.
To increase the depth of planing in one pass, you can manipulate the raising and lowering of the desktop. Each manufacturer in the manufacture of carpentry equipment, integrates desktop control systems into its machines. However, there are no big difficulties with setting up this element. Even a beginner can understand this.
Choice of combined machine
Every craftsman often has to deal with woodworking operations.. Many use a hacksaw or a plane to perform them.
However, such tasks can be significantly simplified, if you use wood joinery equipment. This significantly saves the time of the homemaker, and in addition, allows you to perform drilling tasks without serious physical effort, sawing and chipping.
The market offers a large selection of such equipment at different prices. Along with the models of domestic companies, foreign analogues are also available for everyone. Which option to choose - everyone decides for himself, based on their financial capabilities.
But for the right choice you need to focus not only on price, but also on functionality. After all, probably everyone wants to have a machine in their home workshop, which can be used to perform a wide range of tasks. Therefore, attention should also be paid to the functions of the lathe.
Modern models of this equipment differ in price and characteristics, therefore, everyone can choose the appropriate model of lathe according to their financial capabilities.
That he served long, and in the process of its use there were no problems, after its installation and connection to the mains should carefully study the operating instructions. Then you will avoid many troubles.
