wm debarker alignment

[cypresskayaksllc]

I have the debarker manual. I can get the height right but I cant get the DB blade straight with the saw blade. Any advise? thanks

The Left to Right adjustment is made with the bolts that hold the unit to the sawhead. There enought pay in the holes to make the adjustment. take the spring loaded arm off the debarker to make it easy to swing it in and out. Swing it out and use your LTBGAT to set the debarker. then swing it in and do the samething. If the debarker blade is higher than the LTBGAT then the top of the mount block needs to go toward the mast. loosen the bolts and take a dead blow hamer and hit the top towards the mast. Note** if this debarker is not new, there is one maybe two set screws in the holes next to the bolts thru the C-frame. Its trial and error! hope this helps a little. Matt

Do you have the Mark 1 Debarker? Belt driven
Or the Mark 2 Direct drive blade Debarker?
The Mark 1 will have u bolts the Mark 2 is easier to adjust.

The top pin will wear and keep changing the adjustment if it is worn. I have replaced the pin and fixed some.

The Mark 1 is a bear to adjust. It changes when you tighten the u bolts.

I have to agree with Marty, the mark 1 is a pain. How much of a pain is it to upgrade to a mark 2, Marty?

Hello,
I was looking for the up grade kit. It may not be available any longer. You can purchase a Debarker assembly for $1510.00. They work much better.
Hope this helps.
