craftsman molder head

Post by major_bob »

Just picked up a Craftsman molder head at a local yard sale
Can I use it on my SS Mark V? What if any adapter would be needed? Case indicates it will work on a 5/8 arbor

Will my dado insert work or will I need the molder insert?

sorry, for what may an obvious question, but I am away for a couple of weeks and do not have access to my equipment to check

YES.....BUT! The length of the hole in the molder insert is shorter than the modler insert. This presents you with a large distance from the edge of the hole to the molder head/cutter. I would NOT recommend it!

Also the SS cutters do NOT fit the craftsman head. You would need craftsman cutters to use it.

You can make your own wood or plastic insert.
