7. Remove Torx screw and insert, then carefully
clean away all dust and debris from insert
and insert pocket in cutterhead.
IMPORTANT: This step is critical for achiev-
ing a smooth finish with cutting operations.
Dirt or dust trapped under insert during instal-
lation will slightly raise insert in cutterhead,
which will leave marks on workpiece after
jointing.
Tip:
Use low-pressure compressed air or a
vacuum nozzle to clean cutterhead pocket.
8.
Re-install insert with a sharp cutting edge
facing outward. Make sure insert is properly
seated in cutterhead pocket before securing.
— If all four insert cutting edges have been
used, replace insert with a new one. Always
position reference dot in same position
when installing a new insert to aid in rota-
tional sequencing.
9.
Lubricate Torx screw threads with a small
amount of light machine oil, wipe excess off,
and torque screw to 48–50 inch/pounds.
IMPORTANT:
If too much oil is applied to the
threads, excess will attempt to squeeze out of
threaded hole as you install insert and force it
to raise slightly, making it out of alignment.
If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead
and each other, then poor cutting results and kick-
back can occur.
