Removing Blade Set

[vfauto]

Use your setter to do it. Just set the anvil to set to 0 and bend the teeth back in instead of out. You will need to do the teeth opposite what you do when setting them. Takes about 10 minutes per blade or less.

I think that would only work with a single tooth setter????

vfauto,  What kind are you using??

Cooks Dual Tooth Setter.

[Cutting Edge]

I don't have one of those....nor do I know anything about a Cooks.  What I was referring to was a modification for WM single tooth setters (maybe others?).  I'm sure folks that have a Cooks will have a technique though.  Sorry for any confusion.

It works really well with a Cooks. Just set both anvils to 0 set and run the blade through twice. You have to run it twice to catch both teeth, assuming you leave the third tooth without set as a raker. After the first run you will have to shift the blade so you can get the teeth on the other side. I use a Cooks also and have done this myself when I overset after I first started using it. I never tried flipping the blade inside out and running it through backwards. You may be able to do that and get both teeth in one run. I'll try it tommorow and see.

You may run amuck turning the band inside out as the pawl that advances the teeth will ride up the back of the tooth and not advance.Frank how many bands did you overset and by how much.?? Frank C.

Just a few that I know of, but I am still having a teriable time getting the set consistent.

I've found I get the best results with clean blade without burr.  We have the dual tooth setter and I've been running the blade around twice. Just takes another 60 cranks.

Our old Wood-Mizer single tooth setter had a gauge built in so you could tell if you over or under set as soon as you let the pressure off.

i put a new blade on my mill  and was setting my blade to run on my band wheels ran the blade in to far and tadah no set

Take one of the pushers out of a dual tooth setter, and then push the set out with the other.  Do one side then the other with first one, then the other pusher.    Have to change your setting so getting it back can be a pain, but it works.   I prefer to just use an overset blade on knotty softwood which works great, even with overset blades as much as 40 thousandths.  I "label" an overset blade with a wire tie so I know which ones they are when out on the road.
