Hydrastop / Relton Cutter:
Multi tooth cutters perform better when all teeth are cutting. Precision grinding the teeth will speed up the cut.
Pilot Bits
It is important to keep pilot bits sharp and in good condition. Always inspect for damage. Losing coupons may result if the piolt bits are not properly maintained.
Service Note
Cutters and pilot bits that are in good condition should give trouble free cuts. Machine maintenance is a must. Take time to check all equipment parts. Replace or repair all worn out parts.
