Ensure that the chip deflector in front of the movable cutter does not get bent by the
unplaned edge of the work piece coming in contact with the cutter. Be cautious process-
ing work pieces of various widths.
Ensure that the cutter head can rotate freely, and that there is approximately 5 mm (0.2”)
between the outermost cutting diameter of the cutter and the chip deflector that works as
a chip barrier behind the movable cutter.
