What is a ring fence on a spindle moulder?

A ring fence on a spindle moulder is a safety feature designed to provide support and guidance for workpieces during machining operations. It typically consists of adjustable side panels that help stabilize the material being fed into the spindle, ensuring accurate cuts and reducing the risk of kickback. The ring fence can also assist in creating consistent profiles and shapes by maintaining a controlled distance between the workpiece and the cutter. This enhances both precision and operator safety.
