Felker Tools

Mr. Walton A. Felker, a skilled chemist and pharmacist, had observed the need for engineered circular diamond blades to replace the crude metal disks then used for cutting ceramic tile, minerals and geological specimens. In 1924, Mr. Felker invented and began commercial production of the world's finest notched edge impregnated diamond blade - the Rimlock. Today, Felker continues its rich tradition as an industrial leader in tile and masonry saws as well as diamond blades and abrasives. Production on the Rimlock had ceased as technological advancements have allowed for new innovation and design that have increased quality and performance. Products such as the Tile Master® Tile Saw and the Pavermate™ Masonry saw, along with all other Felker blades and equipment have contributed to Felker's success.

Align Your Tile Saw

There are two basic alignment checks for the Tile Master. Any adjustments made must follow these procedures to ensure that the unit functions freely.

Adjustment tools required: Carpenter's Square, two 7/16" wrenches, and 5/32" hex key.

1.) Check the Blade in Slot Alignment
• The blade should be centered in the Conveyor Cart slot.
• Set-up your saw as described above and move the Conveyor Cart back and froth from the front to the rear of the pan. If the blade contacts either side of the slot, the Cutting Head Location Adjustment must be performed.

Cutting Head Location Adjustment
• The Cutting Head Assembly is located by the Set Collars. Using a 5/32" hex key, loosen these two set collars. Move the Head Assembly along the Pivot Bar until the Blade no longer contacts the slot. Relocate the Set Collars against the sides of the Cutting Head and retighten the set screws.

2.) Check the Parallel Alignment
• The conveyor cart should travel parallel to the place of the blade.
• Place a square rule against the backstop, lightly in contact with the blade. The blade surface should be parallel to the square; i.e., no gap between the blade and the square at either the front or back edge of the blade. Next, holding the square firmly, traverse the cart fore and aft. The blade should remain parallel to the square, staying slighty in contact with it throughout its full travel. If the blade does not stay in contact with the square, the Parallel Alignment must be performed.

Parallel Alignment
•The parallel tracking of the cart can be adjusted by moving the rails on which the cart travels. The mounting holes in the pan are slotted to accomodate this adjustment.
•Align the inside rail first. Loosen the four (4) 1/4"-20 fasteners (7/16" wrenches) locating the two (2) Rails so that both rails are free to move. Move the end(s) of rail until the square is flush with the blade as described above. Tighten the fasteners of this rail and recheck the alignment. Once alignment has been made, move the cart fore and aft to locate the second rail parallel to the first. Tighten the remaining two fasteners.
