ZEROING-IN THE CHAMFER HEIGHT –
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
Note: The machine’s chamfer height is set at zero from the factory. If the setting
is disturbed, it must be zeroed in. Follow the instructions below for zeroing-in.
1. Loosen the 2 lock knobs then loosen the support deck assembly so that the
inserts are below flush level.
2.
Use a steel ruler or other accurate device with a right angle. While keeping the
ruler square with the impeller and the support deck, slowly adjust the support
deck until the ruler just touches the carbide insert. This is the zero point.
3. Once the zero point is found, loosen the small set screw and turn the dial ring
to indicate zero on the scale. Then retighten the set screw.

direction, incorrect installation of the indexable carbide inserts can cause the
failure of chamfering or even rupture of the indexable carbide inserts. Please
