Template Setup FG

The following table provides the most crucial measurements for setting up the templates on the tip profiling machine.
The position and thickness measurements given are guidelines used by the factory, and are meant to help you reset your machine or find a starting point after having changed templates.

The given Length of Scrape is the factory setting, most templates allow for a longer scrape than how the machine is delivered. This allows for flexibility in finding an individualized setup for each user.

Generally it is only necessary to profile the first few millimeters of a sacrificial blank to set up a tip profiling machine. Utilizing this method, one blank can be clipped several times and used to set up several machines.

Machines delivered from the factory are set up with these measurements and the dial then calibrated to zero.

- Distance to Line is measured from the far end of the template to the engraving line on the tongue of the tip profiling machine.
- Gen2 templates are identified by an engraved dot on the underside of the template.
