The
Hoffmann PU2 dovetail routing machine is a free standing
production unit. This model is equipped with a high-speed
router motor, located at the center of the machine. The
supplied 45 degree fence plate, which is guided in a keyway
in the machine table, is used to accurately position the
material on the table. The location of the dovetail slots
for the Hoffmann Keys is adjusted by simply moving this
fence plate.
The
machine is equipped with a pneumatic foot pedal to start
the routing process. Actuating the pedal initiates the
routing sequence:
-
pneumatic
clamp secures work piece on machine table
-
router
head advances until the pre-set height position is reached
-
router
head returns to base position
-
pneumatic
clamp releases work piece
Output
is approx. 16 routing strokes per minute, which translates
into 2 completely processed rectangular frames. These
numbers include material handling, but obviously depend
on routing depth, feed speed, material flow and operator
performance as well. Flow control valves on the main pneumatic
cylinder allow the operator to adjust the upward and downward
feed rate independently, depending on the material being
processed.
A heavy-duty cast aluminum table provides a large work
surface, the steel cabinet has a 4" diameter dust
collection port on its backside for dust free operation.
The
supplied router bits are solid tungsten carbide, made
to exacting specifications. Depending on the routing depth
and the material to be routed, the useable cutter life
is approx. 10,000 strokes. Every machine is shipped with
a tool kit and set-up jig, which allows a router, bit
change in only minutes. Diamond tooling is also available.
