which is not to say that it could not be done with a 10mm guide bushing, using the motion you describe.īTW, there was a thread on the MOF96 here a while back - one of the contributors posted a wealth of info about Elu. The cutting movement was straight in and out - no in one side, out the other was required. Worked fine, just a bit fiddlier in getting the setup right. Having said that, I seem to remember trying out my old Hitachi on the attachment (fitted the same guide bush), with a different dovetail bit. The dovetail bit used by Elu was also particular: 8mm shank, 14,3mm largest diameter, 13,5mm cutting height, 15 degree angle. This allowed rapid repeat setup, but the first time still needed test cuts. The cutter depth gauge was really just a bent piece of stiff sheet metal, formed into a U-shape, with a bolt and nut going through the base of the U, and a wing nut to secure the bolt, once properly adjusted. The bit had to protrude exactly 15mm from the base plate. The kit came with the attachment you show, the guide bush, the dovetail bit, and a cutter depth gauge.
The guide bush is given as 11mm - differed from all other Elu guide bushes, which went up in even mm from 10 up. John, I could never afford a MOF96 40 years ago, but still have some documentation from a wealthier fellow woodworker.
