Special allen key
Note.
Take special care to clean the tooth and
its mating surface. Any dirt or sawdust that is
trapped under the tooth will cause it to be at a
different height to the other teeth and degrade the surface
finish when you start machining. This will result in you
having to take all the teeth out and clean the teeth and the mating surfaces
again. This is very frustrating and a waste of time, take your time and ensure
that you are very thorough with cleaning.
3.
Lower the tooth into the cutter head and clamp with the allen key.
Note.
Only move all the teeth to a new cutting edge. Do not move less than all
the teeth.
Note.
The carbide cutter head has several advantages over the parallel blade
type cutter head.
1.
The teeth are carbide and will last longer than high speed steel parallel
blades.

. There is less chance of tear out.
The disadvantage is that they are
initially more expensive and that the
surface finish is slightly wavy. This is
caused because the teeth have a very
slight radius. This waviness is easily
removed by a light sanding.
