KNIFE JIG ALIGNMENT

FEATURES:

This revolutionary knife jig alignment design will enable you to install knives quickly and

accurately

. This gauge will tightly hold the knife in position, this will allow the operator to

adjust gibs and the cutterhead with both hands. This safety feature eliminates the need to

manipulate the knives while tightening adjustments are being performed.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) (Fig.1) Verify that all 3 points (A, B, C) touch the surface of the cutterhead.

2) Loosen scr

ews and release the cutter knife gib.

3) Set one gauge on each side of the blade as illustrated in Fig.2. Point B (magnet) must

contact with the tip of the knife. Turn head gauge (#2) counter-clockwise, swirl head one

cycle to lift up 1.5mm on the scale. The point B (magnet) will draw up the knife to the

height required on top of the cutterhead surface. Tighten screw (#7) and then proceed to

tighten the knife gauge locking system.

REMARK: The scale between 0 to 1 is about 0.15mm (0.006”) To turn one circle from 0 to 0

is 1.5mm (0.06”).

APPLICATION: Cutterheads with a diameter of 3” to 5” (75 to 125mm). Number of knives:

2 to 4 pcs.

FUNCTION: This knife jig is designed for quick and safe knife replacement. With the

traditional method of knife alignment, a standard setting-measuring tool is used to control

the height of the knife tip over the cutterhead surface. Use one hand to hold the jig and the

other to lock gibs. If a situation where the knife setting system is not equipped with a

spring, you must lift the knife with your hand or raise it with the system available. The

magnetic system will allow your hands to be safely touch free from the tip of the knife and

the swirl head (#2). This procedure will micro-adjust and evenly set the knife to the

required height with a tolerance of 0.05mm (0.002”).
