CUTTER MAINTENANCE
Your Bowl Saver has a quality Stellite cutting
tip, to give you a long lasting and hard wearing
cut. With proper care it will save up to 500 bowls
before it needs replacing. Contact the supplier for
an exchange set of blades or send blades back to
the factory for re-tipping. (Very moderate cost)
You will notice that the top of the tip is hollow
ground,
this is essential t
o the performance of
the tool. The Hollow grind is best left alone and
shaprening done by a very light grind to bring up
a burr,as per picture.
Pay close attention before grinding your
cutter,
check the angle.
Parallel for soft wood and negative 5 degrees

Tip replacement
can be done by a saw doctor
who has the ability to braise a replacement stellite
tip which we or our distributor can supply.
TAKE NOTE :
Grinding instructions are critical
to the performance of the tool.
