5.1. ADJUSTING THE KNIFE DEPTH
Two types of high quality knife holders are available for the Ultima cutters.
No matter which type of knife holder you are using, adjusting the knife depth is a very important parameter
when it comes to making high quality outputs. Always make sure that the knife blade protrudes enough, but
not too much out of the knife holder.
