Installing Teeth

Maintenance & Repair
2. If possible, set the grinder up with a coarse wheel on one side, and the "Green
Wheel" on the other side.
3. Using the "Green Wheel", grind the end of the carbide until the edge is once again
sharp. Avoid grinding on the top of the carbide, which would reduce its thickness
and weaken it, making it more susceptible to cracking and chipping.
4. As the end of the carbide is ground away,
you will have to grind a relief on the square
steel shank. The steel must be ground with
the regular coarse grinding wheel and not
the "Green Wheel".
5. Although the angle is not critical, always grind the tooth so that there is a relief
under the carbide edge.
6. The tooth may be ground until the carbide
until the carbide has approximately 3/16"
remaining.
1. When installing teeth on the cutting
wheel, be sure that all teeth are
extended an equal length beyond the
wheel. A tooth gauge (part # 793190)
has been provided with the grinder for
this purpose.
2. After teeth are located in position, lock
by tightening the (2) bolts in each tooth
pocket.
Tighten bolts 100 to 110 ft-lbs. torque.
CAUTION:
Cutter wheel will be out of balance and should never be run with a tooth
missing or a badly worn tooth.
