BEDKNIFE ALIGNMENT (TOUCH METHOD)
After securing the bedknife on the tooling support
assembly, the bedknife face must be aligned to the
grinding head. Using the gauge as described on the
previous pages will get the alignment very close. For
maximum bedknife life use the following touch method
to finish the alignment of the bedknife to the grinding
head.
Alignment is accomplished by touching the
grinding wheel to the bedknife.
With the bedknife set to the correct angle, move the
grinding head to the right end of the bedknife. Now,
rotate the infeed handwheel until the wheel just
touches the bedknife at the end nib of the knife face
on a used bedknife, or the full knife face on a new
bedknife. On used bedknive if you wish to grind to
match the worn bedknife, then touch the grinding
wheel inside the end nib See FIG. 18.
Next, move the grinding head to the left end of the
bedknife. Now without moving the grinding head
infeed, adjust the tooling bar left side adjuster until
the grinding wheel just touches the bedknife end nib
or the knife face on a used bedknife, or the full knife
face on a new bedknife. Again, on a used bedknife if
you wish to grind to match the worn bedknife, touch
the grinding wheel inside the end nib. See FIG.19.
Because when you adjust the left side, the right side
also moves a small amount, you should go to the
right and left sides several times to verify that you
just contact the knife at both ends. This can be
done while grinding the knife.
NOTE: These adjustments are done on the
carriage, NOT at the infeed handwheel on the
grinding head.
NOTE: The recommended method is to use the
end nib. Using the end nibs will help keep the
bedknife true to the mounting holes in the bedbar.
