Jensen A540T flywheels adjustment???

[OzTrees]

Can anyone advise me on how to adjust the position of the flywheel on my Jensen A540T? The knives are sitting a little close to the Anvil.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Many thanks

A little close? Or touching?

If they are now too close and they weren’t before, something very serious has changed!
Bearing issue?
Something worse?

The ideal gap is around 1mm so there isn’t such a thing as too close, unless they’re touching.

 

The pillow block bearings are moveable in little slots, back and forth if it’s like the Forst.

I am told they’re a similar design, I may be wrong though.

I was told .5mm on the far side and 1.5mm on the side closest to the shaft.

 

The disc will warp when it hits a big bit,too close and you might clatter the anvil.

 

You won't get the blade to anvil gap even anyhow.
