towards the ends of the knife. Refer to Section 9-11 for
the correct torque values based upon bolt sizes and
thread pitch. After the bolts on each knife have been
fully torqued, re-check with a 0.05mm feeler gauge
between the knife and seat. Use the same procedure on
all remaining rotor knives.
9-7 Bed Knife Sharpening
Each bed knife is provided with two (2) cutting edges.
When the exposed edges become blunt, the knives can
be turned over and repositioned to present the new
cutting edges.
It is not necessary to grind bed knives to the closely
matched tolerance of the rotor knives and as with the
rotor knives small nicks in the cutting edges will not
seriously affect knife cutting efficiency. Bed knives
smaller than the minimum dimension shown must be
replaced along with their fasteners.
It is important to note that the minimum dimensions
given for the rotor knife and bed knife cannot be
combined simultaneously to produce a cutting
combination.
NOTE: Replacement knife sets and knife re-sharpening services
