There are a total of four fences on the DT65
Dovetailer – two vertical and two horizontal.
These allow two sets of workpieces to be cut at
the same time. If this is desired, position the
other two fences in the same manner as the first
two fences, remembering again to offset the
vertical fence by half the pitch.
Buffer Pads
The polyethylene buffer pads, shown in Figure
22, have slots through which they are secured to
the fences by screws. These buffer pads can be
re-positioned if needed.
To adjust a buffer pad, loosen the two hex cap
screws (shown in Figure 22) with a 13mm
wrench. Slide the buffer pad as necessary. Re-
tighten both hex cap screws when finished.
Cutter Height
This adjustment will change the height of the tail
on the tenon (male) cut, and how deep the
mortise (female) cut goes into the thickness of
the workpiece.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Loosen the spindle lock screw (Figure 23)
by turning it counterclockwise with a 6mm
hex wrench.
3. Turn the spindle height adjustment screw
(Figure 23) with a 5.5mm hex wrench, either
clockwise to raise the cutter (increase the
cutter depth), or counterclockwise to lower
the cutter (decrease the cutter depth).
4. Tighten spindle lock screw by turning it
clockwise.
Mortise Depth
This adjustment ensures that the side pieces of
your drawer will remain flush with the front and
back pieces of the drawer. The correct fit will
have the sides flush with the front and back of
the drawer, without showing any of the mortise
cut on the inside of the drawer.
The mortise depth adjustment bolt, shown in
Figure 23, limits how far forward the headstock
will go, and thus limits the length of your mortise
cut.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Loosen the hex nut on the mortise depth
adjustment bolt (Figure 23) by turning the
hex nut counterclockwise with a 17mm
wrench.
