Figure 34: Final cutter diameter and reference height measurement

Uniflex blades rise from tip to shank depending on if straight bevel or face
gears between 2° and 6°, which makes it difficult to determine the cutter refer-
ence height. This problem is shown in Figure 35. The solution for a correct
measurement is to position the tip of the height gage at the transition point be-
tween tip edge radius and cutting edge as shown in Figure 34. While this
measurement is done, the tip of the height gage should be directed to point at
the center of the cutter head.
