See Figure 3-19.
Side cutter shims are used to raise the cutter head up and down on the cutter shaft. Using
shims allows the precise setting of the cutter head, and when locked in place, your setting
will not change. Also, shims provide you the ability to easily change your settings, as well
as the ability to return to specific settings, as long as you record the shims that are used
in that particular setup.
RAISING OR LOWERING THE CUTTER HEAD
Remove the cutter head and determine the amount of shims to place under the cutter
head to achieve the correct height of the head.
You may have to try several combinations of shims in order to achieve the correct height
setting for the side cutter knives.
Replace the cutter in the same orientation as it came out.
IMPORTANT! Replaced the cutter heads back in the machine with the
knives facing the correct direction. The leading edge of the knife
should always turn into the wood. Ensure this knife is cutting into the
wood when the head is rotating.
