Gullet Angle

On most chains, the bottom edge of the cutter gullet must have a 10° downward angle from the outside to the inside of the cutter link, as shown in Figure 28. This angle forces wood chips into the path of the top plate for removal.

The gullet angle is determined by the tilt of the chain holder. The chain holder can be tilted to 0° or 10° in and out.

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.

If your chain requires a 10° gullet angle, align the outside casting tilt mark with the base mark when sharpening right-hand cutters (see Figures 29–30). Conversely, align the inside casting tilt mark with the base mark when sharpening left- hand cutters.

To tilt the chain holder for a 10° gullet angle:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the chain holder lock knob (see Figure 29) three or four rotations.

3.Tilt the chain holder so that the correct cast- ing tilt mark aligns with the base mark, as illustrated in Figure 30. This will produce a 10° gullet angle when sharpening.

4.Retighten the lock knob, then check to make sure the tilt marks are properly aligned.

5.To bring the chain holder back to 0°, align the casting center tilt mark with the base mark.
