Charnwood 1500w Spindle Moulder with Sliding Carriage

Fitting neatly into the gap between the heaviest router table and an industrial sized spindle moulder this machine is ideally suited to small professional workshops.

A precision ground cast iron table, a steel base cabinet and a 2hp induction motor are the basic ingredients which make up this fantastic recently upgraded spindle moulder. The height of the spindle, which is a standard 30mm diameter, is controlled by the large hand wheel which can then be locked in position.

A simple belt change selects the correct spindle speed for the tooling. The new 4 speed version provides even more versatility;

1500rpm - Drum Sanding
4500rpm - Moulding Hardwoods
6500rpm - Moulding Softwoods
8500rpm - Routing

The cutter hood is cast iron with a dust outlet at the centre providing efficient extraction for this machine which can produce a high volume of dust and chips. An extractor with 1000 cubic metres an hour airflow is recommended to cope.

The two aluminium fences are adjustable to set the width of the opening, to suit the cutters being used. The outfeed fence can also be stepped out, controlled by a fine pitch thread adjuster, for operations where the complete edge of the workpiece is being removed. Fully adjustable guards are connected to a hinged plate which can quickly be lifted to allow clear access to change the tooling.
The sliding carriage consists of a cast iron table with four bearing guides running along an aluminium extrusion. The fence angle can be set accurately between 90 and 45 degrees with a useful stop to quickly return to 90 degrees again. A hold down clamp and a length stop complete the equipment.

Supplied with sliding carriage, Set of spindle shims, 1/2" Routing collet, adjustable height rubber feet, cable and plug. Runs off any standard 13amp, 230v electric supply.
