Top Plate Cutting Angle - Grizzly T23108 Owner's Manual

Top Plate Cutting
Angle
The top plate cutting angle (see Figure 26) is a
angle on the top plate underside that usually is
ground at 60°. The combination of this cutting
angle and the top plate angle serves to continue
the cut and remove wood chips from the kerf.

When setting up the sharpener, the top plate cut-
ting angle is determined by the tilt of the grind-
ing wheel. The grinding wheel tilt is adjusted by
changing the angle of the swing arm.
Note: Always refer to the chain manufacturer's
specifications when setting up the sharpener.
However, if this information is not available, use
the chart in Figure 22 on Page 20 as a general
guide.
