CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the

three passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
Stopper block (Fig. 7)
The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts
which raise or lower 0.8 mm per turn. You can easily
obtain three different depths of cut using these
adjusting hex bolts without readjusting the stopper
pole.
Adjust :he lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth
of cut. Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain
shallower depths of cut. The differences in height of
these hex bolts are equal lo fhe differences in depths
of cu1.
To adjust the hex bolts,
first
loosen the hex nuts on
the hex bolts with the wrench and then turn the hex
boils. After obtaining the desired position. lighlen the
hex nuts while holding the hex bolts in that desired
position.
The stopper block is
also
convenient for making three
passes with progressively deeper bit setlings when
cutling deep grooves.
