A dull or misaligned cut-off blade produces chipped, angled, and burred ends. On a profile that has to seal or assemble downstream, that is a customer-visible defect produced entirely at the last station.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.
