Note: Attaining the proper setting for the
advancement guide is a matter of patience
and trial-and-error. This setting is critical to
properly sharpen the cutters, so take the time
to find the correct setting.
The goal is to position the cutter in relation to
the grinding wheel so that all three angles—
the top plate angle, the top plate cutting
angle, and the gullet angle—will be correctly
sharpened.

Note: If all of the top plates are approximately
the same length, then start with any cutter.
The concern is that all top plates are the
same length when the sharpening operation
is complete to ensure they cut away the same
amount during operation.
If the grinding wheel should break apart
during operation, the only thing between
you and the flying debris of the wheel are
the wheel and arbor safety guards. ALWAYS
make sure the wheel and arbor safety guards
are properly secured in place before con-
necting the machine to power!
