This operation is accomplished in three stages. The first stage is Facing. The second stage is Side Grinding . And the third is Top Grinding. These grinding stages must be followed in this one, two, three stage method because of the following reasons.

The number two stage is Side Grinding to establish the correct distance from each side of the plate in order to finish with the Top Grinding and to be able to dial tooth height the same on the O.D..

It must be stated, the expected delivery time on this particular unit was 6 weeks out, adding to my concern. This is the same time frame advised on the Incra web site as well. At probably 5 weeks, I was thrilled to receive delivery notice emails. The large unit came in pristine condition and packaged extremely well. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO BUY FROM CARBIDE PROCESSORS IN THE FUTURE. Thank you for the fantastic deal! Read LessRead less about I had been looking for several weeks
