Adjustment along the y-axis
1. Select reference value ‘1’.
The reference value will be needed
later on to adjust the finishing miller to
the same milling level as the pre-
miller.
Any reference value can be selected.
Experience, however, shows that ‘1’ is
the best value for new millers (i.e. mill-
ers not yet resharpened).
2. To select the reference value, move lever (12),
setting the dial of the inner (smaller) scale (13)
to a position just below ‘1’ and the dial of the
outer scale (14) to approximately ‘70’ (approx.
10 o’clock) (Fig. 5.9a).
3. Rotate regulating screw (7) clockwise, bring-
ing the milling edge (3) close to the contact
plate (17).
4. Slowly continue to turn screw (7) clockwise
until the dial of scale (14) starts to move (i.e.
until the milling edge touches the contact
plate).
5. Keep rotating screw (7) very carefully and
slowly until the dial of scale (14) is in the up-
per ‘0’ position and the dial of scale (13) is lo-
cated exactly at ‘1’ (Fig. 5.9b).
Caution:
Be very careful when bringing the con-
tact plate close to the milling edge.
Always use the magnifier.
Make sure the milling edge does not
hit the contact plate!
