Inspecting Knives
The height of the knives can be inspected with a
straightedge to ensure that they are set even with the
outfeed table at their highest point in the cutterhead
rotation, or top dead center (TDC).
To inspect the knives:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove cutterhead guard or block it open.
3. Using a straightedge on outfeed table, check
height of each knife at positions shown in Figure
47.
— Knives are set correctly set when they just
touch bottom of straightedge at TDC in each
of straightedge positions.
— If knives do not touch straightedge or they lift
up at any position, then those knives need to
be adjusted.
