Making Groove Depth Adjustments
Ifthegroovemeasurestoosmallortoolarge,adjustmentscanbemade.Thelinelocatedontopof
thedepthadjustmentscrewisformakingtheseadjustments.
Each1/4turnofthedepthadjustscrewwillproduce.020”inchangeonthediameterofthegroove.
Therefore,turningthescrewintheclockwisedirectionwillmakethegroovediameterlarger.
Counterclockwisedirectionwillmakethegroovediametersmaller.
