Second, water carry\u2011over between strand and bed can \u201cfloat\u201d the cut if the gap is too wide, generating smeared edges and fines.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"401a91d0-93b2-4eb1-80a8-5d20f1d66255\">Match cutter surface speed<\/h3><p>Tip speed should closely track strand haul\u2011off speed to avoid slip\u2011induced rubbing.

Start here, allow a small slip factor (0\u201310%) depending on grip and strand count, and confirm you\u2019re inside gearbox and knife\u2011material limits. Where pellets show rub marks or fuzz, nudge RPM towards a closer match; where motor current spikes or edges show tearing, reassess clearance and run\u2011out before pushing speed.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"31268553-a6b3-4879-abfd-23caeb342f6f\">Verify alignment and run\u2011out<\/h3><p>Even a well\u2011set nominal gap becomes inconsistent if rotor run\u2011out or bed\u2011knife misalignment shifts the local clearance along the arc. Use a dial indicator on the rotor and a straightedge on the bed to confirm uniformity across the cut. Record readings pre\u2011 and post\u2011changeover. Because OEMs differ, adopt your QA or OEM acceptance limits and re\u2011check after heat\u2011soak (it\u2019s common for plants to set tight internal targets, but there is no universal published run\u2011out number that fits every strand cutter).
