HEIGHT OF CUT
NOTE: All three cutting heads MUST be accurately
set at the same height of cut to insure an
even cut.
Bedknife adjustment must be made before
setting the height of cut.
1.
Set the height of cut on the gauge block (Part
No. 892010) by turning the wingnut until the
distance between the bottom of the screw
head and the top of the gauge block equals
the desired height of cut (See Fig. 10.3.2).
2.
Loosen the locking nut on one of the front
roller adjusting brackets just enough to allow
adjustment (See Fig. 10.3.1).
3.
Hold the gauge block (Part No. 892010)
across the bottom of both the front and rear
rollers near the roller adjustment bracket and
adjust the front roller until the cutting edge of
the bedknife comes up to touch the bottom of
the gauge screw head (See Fig.10.3.2).
4.
Tighten the locking nut and repeat the
procedure at the other end. After adjustment
has been made at both ends, go back and
recheck both ends.
5.
Make sure all three cutting heads are set
without changing the height of the gauge
screw.
