Grind Depth Adjustment
Tooth height is determined by how much material is removed from the gullet of the blade.
The sharpener head is factory-set so that the grinding wheel is at the height of
2.0 to 3.0 mm
(
0.079"
- 0.12"
) above the blade clamp. To adjust the gullet grind depth, use the blade height adjustment
knob shown below.
See Figure 2-8.
During initial sharpening set-up, inspect the gullet depth two or three times. You should see clean
metal across the entire gullet of the sharpened tooth. If you do not see clean metal, stop the
sharpener operation and adjust the grind depth as necessary.
NOTE:
If the blade is “burning” or you notice discoloration, you will need to lighten the grind and
make 2 passes, readjusting for blade height and face grind.
IMPORTANT!
After any adjustment, always restart the blade and sharpen in its entirety to ensure
symmetry.
NOTE:
The grind depth may be affected as the grinding wheel passes through a blade weld.
