Notes on Knife Grinding
1.
After regrinding several times, the knives must be checked to be sure that there will still be
adjustment left in the bed knives. The general rule is to place a rotor knife and bed knife back to
back as shown in the diagram shown below, and then measure the total width (dimension “A”) of
both knives.
2.
If dimension “A” is close to or below the minimum, knives should be replaced.
Standard Form Rotor and Bed Knife Sharpening Dimensions
A = (Minimum) = 2-5/8”
B = Bed Knives must be held alike and parallel in sets within .010”
C = Rotor Knives must be held alike and parallel in sets within .002”
