X-20 | Hoffmann | Dovetailers

The X20 manual dovetail routing machine is a light weight, more portable model with an open base design. This machine does not require a compressed air supply. This machine is slightly larger than the X18 model, with increased routing height and a table-top mounted on three sided enclosed base. The keyway location is adjusted by positioning the guided center fence plate on the machine table; the keyway length (routing height) is adjusted by setting a height-stop rod to the desired setting. Pulling the main lever downward starts the machining cycle:
> Padded hold-down plate secures work-piece and motor is switched on
> Continued pulling advances the router head until pre-set height is reached
> Releasing the lever returns the motor to its home position and shuts off motor
> Padded hold-down plate releases work-piece
