Overview Of Adjustments
At this point in the instructions, you should have your sharpener completely assembled
and operational. The sharpener head should be set at the proper hook angle.
At this point in the instructions, you should have:
your sharpener completely assembled and operational.
the sharpener head set at the proper angle.
a blade installed around the supports and clamped firmly.
a grinding wheel installed and dressed properly.
IMPORTANT!
The sharpener is equipped with a cam to sharpen stan-
dard Wood-Mizer blades with a “10/30” profile.
There are three important areas to monitor when sharpening blades:
Hook Angle
Tooth Height
Sharpness of Teeth
The hook angle has already been set and, assuming you maintain proper grinding wheel
shape, should remain constant.
The remaining areas, tooth height and sharpness, are controlled by using the face and
depth/back grind adjustment knobs.
You are ready to proceed to face and depth/back grind adjustments. To make these
adjustments, inspect the blade carefully with proper lighting.
