Press the knife with knife gage Lightly tighten two
outside and center gib screws.
Repeat the preceding method on successive knives
making sure that the height from knife to knife is the
same within 0.03mm. Loosen gib screw to establish
the high point of the knife. To touch the knife gage.
After all knife have been installed, recheck all gib
screw to be sure they are tight, loose gib screws can
result in knife being thrown out of the cutterhead
causing severe damage to the machine and possible
serious or fatal injury to the operator or bystanders.
Note: If all knives have been removed, a new set
must be installed without locking the gibs until all
knives and gibs are in and the gib screws lightly
snuggled down. The locking process should precede
working from the center out on each knife and
locking all gib screw once, repeat the same
sequence until all screws are equally tight. Locking
one knife in without the others in position can cause
cutterhead distortion.
