2-12-4 KNIFE CARRIER S
a) Inserting the knife
The knife carrier S is designed to take triangular
glass knives, diamond and sapphire knives. These
knives are put into the knife insert (fig. 18.8) and
clamped with the clamping screw (fig. 18.9). The
black arrows in fig. 18 show the clamping
direction of the various clamping devices.
b) Adjusting clearance angle
The clearance angle adjustment of the knife can be
set by moving the insert (fig. 18.8) on the support
(fig. 18.5). Turn the clamping lever (fig. 18.10)
downwards to lock in the selected clearance angle.
c) Moving the knife sideways
Move the knife carrier together with the support
(fig. 18.5) sideways.
Thus, the desired position concerning the knife can
be adjusted. Loosen the knurled screw (fig. 18.7)
slightly. Turn one of the two set screws (fig. 18.6)
to achieve the desired side movement of the
support (fig. 18.5) with regard to the carrier (fig.
18.3). Tighten the knurled screw (fig. 18.7)
slightly after this positioning.
CAUTION! If the knurled screw (fig. 18.7) is
tightened, do not adjust the set screws (fig. 18.6)
d) Turning the carrier
Loosen the clamping screw (fig. 18.4) to move the
carrier to the left or right side on the socket up to
approx. 30° according to the bowed orientation
scale. Afterwards, tighten the clamping screw (fig.
18.4) again.
e) Moving the knife carrier
on the dovetail guide
Swing the clamping lever (fig. 18.2) to the back to
release the knife carrier. The knife carrier can then
be moved forwards or backwards.
