Nowhere is more precise knife edge projection more important than in veneer peeling operations. The new Patent Pending A-P-I System is capable of precise edge projection control to within 0.003″ or less. And the process to achieve this accuracy is incredibly quick.
The patent pending Accurate Positioning Insert system is named A-P-I for short.
A-P-I is an insert system that locks into the back edge of the knife. It provides a very accurate knife cutting edge projection position. A-P-I adjusted knives are set very quickly and are consistently more accurate than any other knife adjustment system.
The A-P-I inserts are reusable. When the knife is worn out, unlock the insert and lock it into a new knife.
Abandon costly and dangerous hot molten babbit adjustments and convert to the precise A-P-I system, the method of the future for positioning your wood peeling knives.
