You tried this?

Figured out why that page was missing from my manual. My older version does not have the slider. I guess I could drill another position for the rod.

Well, we dont all have bags of cash to blow on shiny new toys I guess and its cost me less than £200.

I was thinking 500 isn’t a lot re the feathering accessory. I realised I would have to placing and then removing the “wedge” under the section each pass

trigger andy, thats the same as mine, pre woodlands re-branding, you can modify it by making your own adjustable slder plate, the further up the arm you position the lifter bar, the quicker it lifts the head, when I first started using mine, it took ages to work out what was happening, if I went deep enough to clear the gullet, it took the top off the next tooth, back it off so it didnt touch the tooth, lump left in the gullet...etc, I finally spoke to an old guy who had been sharpening badsaw  bands for years and he explained how the cam is timed and how to set up the shape and lift.......now, near perfection, a few thou right down the face, round the gullet and lifts clear of the back slope and clears the topsby around 25-30 thou, I can alter this easily by a slight movement up or down the arm for more clearance or to dress the top of the tooth if they become to hooked

If all I need to do now is still a recess for the lifting arm then I’ll do that and save myself £500. Everything on it is in perfect working order so why waste money?
