Initial knife clearance is adjusted by moving the shear table in and out and/or with shims.

If the knife width is less than the reference minimum (W), the knives may not cross full length. If the knife thickness is less than the reference thickness (T), proper knife clearance may not be possible.

Recommended regrind tolerances are as follows:
WIDTH - Parallel to within .005" from end to end
THICKNESS - Parallel to within .003" from end to end
No variation greater than .001" within any 12" length
