NOTE: When cutting very small ovals/circles better results can be achieved using the
1. Small ovals
Distortions will occur when making very small diameter circles or ovals owing to
the self alignment action of the tools.
1.1 Note the position of the cutting head against the lazy oval scale.
1.2 Set the machine to make the desired size and cut the oval/circle.
If the top of the oval leans to the right move the cutting head towards the beam.
If the top of the oval leans to the left move the cutting head away from the beam.
1.3 Loosen the thumbscrew allowing the cutting head to move towards or
away from the beam.
1.4 Cut another oval in a different part of the board, check the setting and
repeat the adjustment as necessary locking the thumbscrew each time.
The machine is now set to produce upright ovals in the size range for which it was
adjusted. Over 10cm [4"] the ovals will remain upright throughout the range.
2. Small circles
When cutting small circles the effect of the self alignment action is slightly
different, the blade can become uncontrollable and very inaccurate. Moving the
cutting head towards the beam as explained above will correct it.
