The Manti
and Mini-Mantis, and Metric Mantis (for our customers
that prefer
metric measure), take the guesswork out of
depth of cut setup on a variety of woodworking
tools including the routers, router tables, shapers,
table saws and jointers.
Setting depth of cut on woodworking tools is a
everyday thing in the woodshop. Accurately
setting them is not a trivial issue, unless you
use a Mantis. All woodworking tools us a
"supportive reference surface to either support the
work or the tool while cutting. The table
top of the table saw, the base plate of the router,
the bed of the jointer are all examples of this
"supportive reference surface". When setting
depth of cut with these tools the cutter is
elevated
relative to the Plane of the
supportive reference surface. The Mantis is a
precision machined
aluminum casting that has a 1" diameter measuring
anvil mounted to a precision dial indicator,
so that it measures the elevation of the cutter tool
above the supportive reference surface. The
large frame Mantis allows the Indicator to be mounted
outside the legs positions so that the
indicator in a cantilevered position can be used to
set jointer knives and to measure out feed
table elevations directly relative to the infeed
table. The compact Mini-Mantis is convenient
for measuring router bit elevations. Quit
guessing about cutting depth, use the Mantis
or
Mini-Mantis to get it right all the time. |

SHAN
270-BC30 & 270-BC64 No
more tape measure and test cutting. Set it and
forget it.
The SHAN270-BC30 and the SHAN 270-BC64
digital scale kits for Biesemeyer &
PowerMatic rip fences
provide you with reliable fence settings for your
Biesemeyer fence.
The SHAN 270-BC30 fits the Biesemeyer BC30 fence and
provides digital accuracy for setting fence
position for 30" to the right of the
blade. The SHAN 270-BC30 is also useful
for making a precision
crosscut sled (see picture below).
The SHAN270- BC30/BC64 readout is
integrated on the sliding sensor head that is fixed to
the box beam.
The mounting allows the fence to be simply removed as
usual by just lifting the fence body off
of the support rail. No tools, no messy wires,
economically priced, the SHAN BC 30/BC50 provides
unparalleled performance and value.
The SHAN270-BC30/BC64 will change the way you do
woodworking forever. Now you can reliably trim .010"
off of a piece with confidence, for a perfect
fit. More importantly you can go back later to exactly
the
same setting when you need to.
Mounting a router in the extension wing of your table
saw is a great idea. With it you get a large work
surface to support you work with the router.
With a SHAN BC30/BC50 mounted on the rip fence
you now get positioning accuracy that only a digital
scale can provide. With this setup and some
simple jigs you can make you can make through dovetail
variable size through or half blind dovetails
in a flash. More importantly, with digital
positioning, you can make cuts today and come back
and make the same cutes three weeks from now.
The SHAN270-BC30 can also be used on homemade crosscut
sleds (Picture below to provide digital accuracy
for cross cutting members and for forming tenon
shoulders. |
 
SHAN
BC30 Digital Scale (above left) provides digital fence
positioning for Biesemeyer, Powermatic
and other rip fences with 2"x3" box beams. The
clear display of the BC30/BC64 digital scale (above right)
provides accuracy to .001" and resolution to .0005".
The sensor display provides for simple incremental
(stepwise cutting) that does not require a calculator. The
unit is fully programmable for fixed offsets.
The Biesemeyer fence with an auxiliary router fence,
(below left) provides digital fence positioning
for router operations. This ids great for cutting dovetails.
Our latest innovation using the BC30 product is the digital
crosscut sled( below right) provides
digital crosscut accuracy up to 32" and is great for
making precision panels and forming tenon shoulders.
