  2. Weld P20 to make 1/2" of P19 (cutting knife) exposed at the cutting edge Repeat for the total 12 teeth

    • Weld P20 to make 1/2" of P19 (cutting knife) exposed at the cutting edge

    • Repeat for the total 12 teeth

    Edit

  3. Weld 4 teeth at the proper spacing (4" from the left to rebar centre and 2" from the right edge to rebar center) to part 15 (tooth bar bolt bar), with 3 inches overlap between P18 and P15 The teeth go on the side farthest from the bolt holes. Repeat for the 2 other P15 parts Repeat for the 2 other P15 parts

    • Weld 4 teeth at the proper spacing (4" from the left to rebar centre and 2" from the right edge to rebar center) to part 15 (tooth bar bolt bar), with 3 inches overlap between P18 and P15 The teeth go on the side farthest from the bolt holes.

    • Make sure that at least about 1/2" of cutting knife is exposed after grinding

    • Make sure that P15 is oriented with the side closest the holes on the side farthest away from the teeth

    • Make sure that the angle between the long leading edge of P15 and P18 is 90 degrees i.e. those teeth are pointing straight outwards.
