The final cut
- Place your Body Post Trimmer with the stud hole on the body post
- Turn around the trimmer about 360 under light pressure so that you will cut a perfect 1 mm chamfer
IMPORTANT If chamfering doesnt work as it should, try to change the gap of your blade which should be 0.2 0.5 mm to the edge of the aluminium body.
