Overview Deburring The Blade Deburring The Blade Sharpening leaves tiny metal burrs on the back side of the teeth. New blades also have burrs. These burrs MUST be removed before the set is checked. If they are not removed, they may cause the toothsetter to give false readings. To remove burrs, take the blade from the Sharpener.
This allows enough room for the blade supports. See Figure 2-1. Mounting Bolt (2) Hex Nut (2) Crank Handle Knob Socket Head Bolt Toothsetter Crank Handle Hex Head Bolt Hex Nut (2) Toothsetter BMT008-1 Stand FIG. 2-1 BMT100-2 Setup BMT10013doc082115...
