Safety Speed SPM301 Screw Pocket Machine

The SPM301’s mechanical linkage allows the pilot drill and router bit to cut at the same time, reducing cycle time without sacrificing cut quality. Simple back fence, stop rail, and depth adjustment make setups and adjustments quick and easy. The built-in analog depth gauge allows changing material thickness a breeze and can be completed within seconds. When it comes to manufacturing, the SPM301 is unmatched. Manufactured completely in the USA, the SPM301 showcases heavy duty construction; a machine truly built to be a work horse and requires only standard 110 VAC and 1-2 CFM compressed air at 80 PSI.

Unlike others of its kind, the SPM301 features cam-driven action providing fast, smooth cutting action under complete mechanical control throughout the machine cycle. The pilot drill and ball end mill produce superior low-angle screw pockets.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Each Use: Remove sawdust, wood chips, and other debris from the machine after each use. Use a soft cloth or air compressor to clean the machine thoroughly, focusing on the work area and moving parts.

• Inspect and Maintain Cutter Blades: Regularly inspect the cutter blades for wear, dullness, or damage. Sharpen or replace blades when necessary to ensure clean cuts and prevent excessive wear on the motor.

• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply lubricant to the moving components, such as the feed mechanism and the cutting assembly, to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation. Use the manufacturer's recommended lubricant for best results.

• Check Fasteners and Alignment: Inspect screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight and secure. Check the machine's alignment to ensure that all components are properly positioned to maintain accuracy in screw pocket machining.

• Monitor Feed System: Inspect the feed rollers, conveyors, and other components of the feed system for wear and proper function. Adjust or replace parts if necessary to ensure smooth material feeding and consistent pocket machining.

• Dust Collection Maintenance: Regularly check the dust collection system for blockages or inefficiencies. Clean the hoses, filters, and connections to ensure effective dust removal and maintain proper airflow.

• Inspect Electrical Components: Check all electrical wiring, connections, and switches for signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure proper grounding and replace any damaged electrical components.

• Check the Motor: Monitor the motor for any unusual noises or overheating. Ensure that it is well-ventilated and running efficiently. Clean the motor housing periodically to ensure adequate airflow.
