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 will 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.
2.
There is less chance of tare out.
The disadvantage is that they are initially more expensive and 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.
Adjusting the fence.
The fence has 2 adjustable stops. One
for 45 degrees, and the other stop for the
90 degree position.
The fence is clamped in the angle
position with the angle clamp handle. To
adjust the fence, loosen the clamp
handle, move to the required position,
and re clamp.
The stops do not come pre set, and to
set, follow the guide lines below.
To move the fence across the jointer
table, loosen the clamp handle, move the fence with the forward back handle to the
required position, and re clamp.
