CHANGING INSERTS ON THE SPIRAL CUTTER
The 330mm cutter-head is equipped with 26 index-
able high speed steel cutting tips. (Fig. 5.9) Each
cutting tip can be rotated to reveal any one of its 2
cutting edges. If one cutting edge becomes dull or
damaged, users may simply rotate the cutting tip to
index to a fresh cutting edge.
Each tip has a reference dot at the corner. (Fig. 5.10)
If the tip is rotated, the reference dot location will be
used as an indicator to tell if it is used or new.
To Change The Inserts
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM THE POWER!
2. Loosen 4 hex head screws from dust chute with
a hex wrench and remove the Dust Chute.
3. Leather heavy gloves should be worn to protect
your hands and fingers.
4. Insert a hex wrench into the right side panel &
cutter-head and turn the cutter-head to a
position for changing tips. (Fig. 5.11)
5. Remove any sawdust or debris from around the
insert, Torx screw, and the surrounding area.
6. Remove the Torx screw and the insert, then
clean both parts and the pocket where the
insert sits.
Note
: Ensure the insert, Torx, screw, and the cutter
head pocket have been throughly cleaned. This is
critical to achieving a smooth and precision finish.
Trapped dirt between the insert and cutter-head will
slightly raise the insert, and make noticeable marks.
7. Replace the insert so that a fresh cutting edge
faces outward. If all two insert cutting edges
have been used, replace the insert with a new
one. Always position the reference mark
(Fig.5.10) on the insert in the same position when
installing a new insert to aid in the rotational
sequencing.
8. Lubricate the Torx screw threads with a very
small amount of light machine oil, wipe the
excess off, and tighten the screws making sure
not to over tighten them.
Note:
Do Not use too much oil. The excess may
squeeze out of the threaded hole as you install the
insert and force the insert to raise slightly, forcing
the insert out of alignment.
