7. Rotate insert 90° and install so that a fresh cutting
edge faces outward (see
Figure 8
).
— When all four insert cutting edges have been used,
replace insert with a new one. Always position
new insert reference dot in same position to aid in
rotational sequencing.
8. Lubricate Torx screw threads with a very small
amount of light machine oil, wipe excess off, and
torque screw to 50–55 inch/pounds.
Note: If too much oil is applied to the threads,
excess oil will attempt to squeeze out of the
threaded hole and raise insert during installation,
bringing it out of height alignment.
6.
Remove Torx screw and insert (see
Figure 7
),
then clean all dust and debris from both parts and
cutterhead pocket.
Note:
Proper cleaning of insert, Torx screw, and
cutterhead pocket is critical to achieving a smooth
finish. Dirt or dust trapped between insert and
cutterhead will raise insert, and make marks on
your workpiece when planing.
Tip:
Use low-pressure compressed air or a vacuum
nozzle to clean out cutterhead pocket.
