BUSHINGS
The Bushings
Generally, the bushing will be in two parts, an inlet and an
outlet with the inlet bushing being tapered or otherwise con-
toured to assist in guiding the product into the cutter mecha-
nism. It is extremely crucial to the success of the cutting
process that bushing bores be exact and in perfect alignment
with each half. They should be polished smoothed, burr free
and generally several thousands oversized for optimum per-
formance.
Installation of the bushing
Open the top hinged cover (yellow) to expose
the top of the bushing holder.
Use the two set screws positioned on top of the
bushing holder and turn them counterclock
wise to loosen and remove the bushings.
Replace the desired bushings and tighten up
the two set screws just enough to barely be
able to move the bushings.
Rotate the blade wheel until the blade enters
the space between the two bushings.
Move the outlet bushing in until you can bare-
ly feel the blade scrape along the inside of the
bushing.
Move the inlet bushing inward until there is
about 0.001 to 0.003 inch clearance between
the blade and the outlet bushing.
Tighten the two screws in the housing to lock
in the bushings.
Rotate the blade wheel
by hand so that the blade
passes through the space between the two bushings to
insure that it will clear without hitting either bushing and
passes through the space with little effort.
