Knife and Anvil alignment

[Mike Hill]

I lowered the Rotor shaft into the 528T this evening after replacing the bearings and am having trouble trying to line the knife up to the Anvil.

 

The bearing Case's allow for a slight amount of lateral movement when the bolts are loose,so I lined the edge of the knife up to the Anvil as best as I could and have left it at that.Is there a referance point anywhere on the cutting disc that you can use?

 

The bearings I got sent appear to be slightly different than the originals and as such the markings where the original bearing cases sat where little value.

 

Any help appreciated

Clamp up the bearing bolts and turn rotor over with blades attached. As long as all knives pass the anvil by roughly then same amount then that will do. We set ours up using an adjustable bearing carrier with a gap of about two mm twixt knief and anvil. Oh and don't forget to secure the bearing to the shaft overwise you'll hear a very expensive noise! Good Luck.

When you do set them up use the newest blade you can as if you use worn one's when it comes to place a new one in the gap will be to small and ouch !!!!!!!!! contact wait out
