BMS500/600doc121319
SETUP & OPERATION
The figure above shows proper positioning of the stroke adjustment plate for blades with .875" (22.2
mm) tooth spacing. (The indicator on the adjustment plate is in line with the indicator on the cam.)
The exemplary indicator and holes marked with red should be used for blades with 1.125" (28.6 mm)
tooth spacing.
CAUTION!
The indicator located on the cam is a reference point for
setting the stroke adjustment plate on the cam depending on tooth
spacing of the blade.

Oil Flow Adjustment
To start oil flow to the blade, use the Oil Flow Start/Stop Switch.
2.10 Feed Rate Adjustment
The cam speed can be adjusted with the Feed Rate Dial located on the control panel
(Table 1-3 on page 5). During the sharpening cycle, adjust the cam speed so that it is as high as
possible without "burning" the blade.
NOTE:
All machines should be adjusted by maintenance to a maximum speed of 40 revolutions per
minute.
2.11 Blade Rejection
Sometimes blades cannot be resharpened. Reasons to reject blades for resharpening include:
the blade is coil set (the blade is over-stressed and will fold on itself),
the blade is missing two or more teeth in a row,
the blade band has been twisted,
the blade band is too low for the sharpener (the blade has been sharpened too many times/too
much material has already been ground from the blade),
the blade has no set on one of its sides,
severe rust is present,
the blade has tooth spacing uncommon to Wood-Mizer blades (i.e., a competitor’s blade)
