| This machine is largely self-documenting. |
Operation
The Do-All is extravagantly decorated with hipster stickers and reminders that instruct the operator what to do.
Speed Selection
The machine is usually set to cut mild steel, for other materials it may be necessary to change the blade speed.
- The first step is to find what speed is needed.
| |
|---|---|
| Blade sizes and speed settings are found with this tool bequeathed to us by our ancestors. |
Blade speed data are well-documented and may be found from a wide variety of sources. The Do-All has a mechanism on its side panel that is well worth examining. It shows how your great-grandparents did these things. Today devices like this are as rare as they are baffling.
- Next the operator checks the current blade speed. An indicator on the lower left side of the machine reads in feet per minute.
This indicator only registers while the machine is running.
| |
|---|---|
| The crank is almost invisible around the back of the machine. |
| |
|---|---|
| Feet per minute. Note only the SLOW speed range is available. |
- To change the speed the operator must reach around the left side of the machine and find a crank down near the bottom.
This crank must ONLY be turned when the machine is running. It uses a similar linkage to the spindle transmissions in a vertical milling machine.
