CUTTERHEAD MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
After considerable use, the knives will become dull and
it will not be possible to do accurate work. Unless
badly damaged by running into metal or other hard
material, they may be sharpened as follows:
WHETTING KNIVES
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
Use a fine carborundum stone; cover it partly with
paper as indicated in Fig.
17
to avoid marking the
table. Lay the stone on the front table, lower the table
and turn the cutter head forward until the stone lies flat
on the bevel of the knife, as shown. Hold the cutter
head from turning, and whet the bevelled edge of the
knife, stroking lengthwise by sliding the stone back and
forth across the table. Do the same amount of whetting
on each of the three blades.
