Adjusting the radii:
Please note that only the position of the upper
edge of the radius can be adjusted by rotating the
guiding plate. The lateral position of the radius on
the workpiece end face is determined by the guide
wheel fitted and cannot be altered.

Notes on radius milling:
Choosing the right guiding roll to ensure the correct
lateral position of the radius is just as important as
setting the correct height of the guiding plate.
If the wrong guiding roll is used, the machined radi-
us will not form a smooth transition with the end
face of the workpiece.
If the guiding roll used is too large, the appearance
of the resulting radius is similar (but rotated by 90°)
to that created when the guiding plate is set too low.
