Gullet Grind Adjustment
The amount you need to grind from the gullet will be determined by how much tooth
height you need (See the
Blade Handbook
for tooth height recommenda-
tions). Use the turnbuckle to control how much material is removed from the gullet.
Before adjusting the gullet grind, ensure all motors are turned off.
Adjust the gullet grind:
1.
Remove the cover so that you can see how the grinding wheel contacts the blade.
2.
Advance the blade by using the jog switch until the grinding wheel is positioned over the
lowest point of the gullet between teeth.
3.
Spin the grinding wheel by hand and check how hard the wheel contacts the gullet of the
blade.
4.
Raise or lower the sharpener head so that the grinding wheel lightly touches the gullet by
first loosening the thumbnut, and then using the turnbuckle (See Fig. 4-9.) to do one of
the following:
If the wheel is too close to the blade, twist the turnbuckle clockwise to raise the
wheel.
If the wheel is too far from the blade, twist the turnbuckle counter-clockwise to
lower the wheel.
