7.5.2 Blade Specifications
There is a limit to the number of times a blade can be sharpened. Because the
sharpening process removes a little of the edge each time, eventually the edge is far
enough from the blade drive arm that it will not cut correctly.
If the measurement from the center of the
drive hole to the high end of the blade edge
is 3.440” or more, the blade has probably
reached the end of its useful life.
Kinematic drawing 21-00819 shows the
blade as manufactured. This illustration is
similar to part of that drawing. Use this
drawing as a guide to measure your blade.
Measure Blade
Depending on the width and type of material, it may be possible to continue to use a
blade that has been sharpened to or even beyond this measurement. If it does not
work correctly when sharpened beyond 3.440”, then the blade must be replaced.
7.5.3 Sharpening Process
Carefully inspect the cutting edge of the blade. Small sections of damage such as
nicks can be corrected. Any damage that goes deeper than approximately 0.50 mm
(0.020”) may not be repairable. See the previous section.
