DT45 Dovetailer, 1HP 1PH 115/230V

The POWERMATIC® DT45 is a powerful manual dovetail machine perfect for cutting dovetails on drawers and various furniture parts. It comes with a router spindle that enables adjustable - height dovetail cutting and can machine four types of dovetails with different pitches. Manual locking and unlocking of pieces are done via an eccentric clamp. Its cast - iron and steel construction offers excellent stability and durability. The cutter height ranges from 3/16' to 3/4', fitting different cutting depths and board thicknesses. An eccentric spindle collet is useful for resharpened cutters. The extra - large soft - grip handle gives you great control and comfort. Four dovetail center lines at 1', 1 - 1/2', 2', and 2 - 1/2' add a custom look. Manual clamping keeps boards firmly in place. Material stops help position the workpiece easily. A spring - loaded carriage ensures smooth and effortless dovetail cutting. The precision linear carriage bearings are sealed at both ends to prevent dust buildup. A visual stylus and template assist in guiding the carriage.

Using the POWERMATIC DT45 is straightforward. First, select the appropriate dovetail type according to your needs as it can machine four different types. Set the cutter height based on the board thickness, which can range from 3/16' to 3/4'. Use the eccentric clamp to manually lock the piece in place. Then, position the workpiece with the help of the material stops. Start the machine and use the visual stylus and template to guide the spring - loaded carriage for smooth dovetail cutting. Remember, the motor is 1HP with a 1 - phase and can work on 115/230V, pre - wired for 115V. For safety, be aware that it may cause cancer and reproductive harm as indicated by Prop 65. When it comes to maintenance, since the precision linear carriage bearings are sealed, they'll be protected from dust. However, keep an eye on the cutter. You can use the eccentric spindle collet for resharpened cutters. Also, check the manual clamping mechanism regularly to ensure it keeps the boards firm.
