ABSTRACT

Pictured below is a wood lathe attachment for producing Styrofoam® moulding. This low-cost attachment is easy to construct and can be adapted for a variety of moulding shapes and sizes. It consists of three basic components: cutter, cutter housing, and clamping board. See Figure 1. Like any router blade, the cutter is a double-faced “negative” of the moulding it will produce. The cutter housing both guides the Styrofoam® past the cutter and collects the chips produced by its operation. The clamping board holds the attachment securely in place on the lathe bed. <sc>Styrofoam</sc>® <sc>Moulding</sc> <sc>Cutter</sc> <sc>Positioned on</sc> <sc>Lathe</sc> https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780080518565/add4c751-335b-4ee5-91d4-f532049b17e5/content/ch115_page232-01_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
