Thread: Warco Universal Cutter Grinder

the index dot indicates that the indexing ring is 90 degrees into the 180 degree travel.

That gives you the correct position when you line the flat of the d bit up with the pull out blade to rotate the back edge for grinding the relief.

There is probably an index notch that corresponds which you can use to lock it whilst making the marker.

Have you dismantled the spindle? It possible the index ring has a place for the dot on it, but the hole in the housing to view it hasn't been drilled.

That's exactly the information I was looking for - Thank you so much! I'll now sit down and work out where that is relative to the 180degree travel, then drill & mark the position. If it were possible, I'd happily have your babies!

Jim, if it's new from Warco take it up with them.

Robert Butler

Oh, trust me, I have. They do 2 cutter grinders, neither of which feature the all important red dot. The machine is being collected next week unless I can find a work-around - I'm happy enough to drill a small hole in the ring and paint it red, I only really need to know exactly where to put it.

Thanks- there’s no window, but there is 1 section of the head that moves from 150-330 degrees between the pins giving 180 degree movement.

I recently bought a new Warco Universal Tool & Cutter Grinder, which is a Chinese Deckel Clone, but when it arrived it doesn't have the red dot on the head to use to align the indexing tab at the front of the head. The instructions (for what they're worth) insist that it is there and it is mentioned extensively, and to my mind I can't see an alternative way of setting this up. I wondered if anyone has any suggestions as to how to set up this machine in the absence of this particularly important mark.

Thanks
