Adjusting &
Replacing Scoring
Blade
The scoring blade rotates in the opposite direction
from the main blade and makes a shallow cut into
the workpiece surface. This prevents workpiece
tear-out.
Some replacement scoring blades consist of an
inner and outer blade with internal shims. The
shims are provided so the scoring blade set
can match the kerf thickness of the main blade.
Figure 93 shows a typical scoring blade set with
shims.
The scoring blade provided with the Model G0699
has wedge-shaped teeth so that scoring kerf wid-
ens as the blade is raised.

NOTICE
To make sure that the scoring blade kerf
is the same as the main blade kerf, you
will need to adjust the scoring blade as
instructed in this procedure whenever the
dimensions of the main blade change.
