in the axial direction, as close as possible to that of the J highest insert. Repeat this procedure for all inserts. Note: Since the insert is clamped, loosening the wedge
screw will not bring down the insert. To lower insert height, both the insert and wedge screws need to be loosened. Start the adjusting procedure for this insert again from Step 1. Cautions: ① Always clean all the insert pockets thoroughly of dust and chips.

adjustment is completed. Additional tightening may movement. weaken wedge clamping torque. ④ Loosening the wedge will not lower the insert. When the insert height exceeds the desired setting during adjustment, loosen both the insert and wedge screws and re-start the adjustment procedure from Step ① . If the insert slides downward when the wedge screw is loosened, the clamping torque of the insert screw is too low. Tighten the insert screw M with a slightly higher torque. Suggested clamping method: First use the straight end of the key to tighten the screw until finger tight, then switch the key to the angled side and turn an additional 45°. ⑤ Do not exceed the recommended clamping torque when fixing the insert. This may damage or fracture the insert screw.
