To verify whether the roller is level, try inserting a piece of paper under each end of the roller. 6.
edges will result after a period of operation. If excessive contact is maintained, bedknife/reel wear will accelerate, uneven wear can result, and quality of cut may be adversely affected. of the cutting units and bedknife profile. Therefore, bench setting a cutting unit does not equal the effective (actual) height of cut you achieve. You must determine how to adjust your cutter on the bench to achieve a comparable height of cut to a cutting unit of a different configuration, model, or brand.
