| UNIQUE CUTTER JOINT DESIGN
All cutter models feature this unique construction of the cutter joint including four important design elements:
BEARING RINGS are machined into the bearing surface of each cutter body. The rings face each other as the two halves are brought together. In cutter operation the two halves only bear and move against each other in the very limited are of the bearing rings. This minimizes the metal-to-metal contact. Since the work piece is resisted at near maximum distance from the cutter centerline, relative joint movement (play) is also minimized.
HARDENED NUT of alloy steel and extended cross-sectional area anchors the joint against movement under the cutting load. precision machining of the nut insures perfect alignment of the two cutting edges.
ALLAN HEAD SCREW WITH FINE-PITCHED THREADS allows for perfect joint adjustment during initial manufacture and during resharpening. DELRIN WASHER eliminates metal-to-metal wear under the shoulder of the nut and reduces friction during operation. |
