g day! some more pics of my rebuild ... Went to set the the cylinder cutter! to the bed knife. And its all over the shop'..... It seems the cylinder knifes are not true enough. An example of this is when, say the left side is ajusted down, and contact made with the bed knife, but the contact is 2" inch in from the left end of the bed knife. To drop it any lower, it is sitting to heavy on the bed knife. I've had both sides up down and in between, and i can't get it to cut from left to right and visa versa. I had it sharpened and a new bed knife. So to sum it up, what i am trying to achieve is a scissor like action across the face of the bed knife, but not able to. This setting was done on a very flat surface, with rear drum ajustment set square to ground and a page out of the telegraph news paper. Any advice would help before I phone the guy who did the sharpening. Thanks all....
