Rotating/Replacing Knives
Both of the knives on the Model T32716 can be
removed and rotated to reveal one of the addition-
al cutting edges. Both knives have four available
cutting edges. However, the position of the upper
and lower knives are not interchangeable. When
all edges on the knives have reached the end of
their usable life, they can be reground by using
wet grinding techniques for SK-4 metal or better.
If sharpening services are not available in your
area, replacement knives are available through
grizzly.com and must be replaced as a set.
