ing wheel. Move the tooth rest until the tooth rest’s upmost point and the cutter’s center are on
the same line horizontally
Pull the sleeve slightly backwards, so that the cutter clears the wheel. Move the sleeve forward
and let it rotate naturally against the tooth rest as you move it forward and back being sure to
never let the cutter part from the tooth rest. Don’t force the cutter to rotate.
