    Cutting trivex (phoenix) semi rimless on kappa edger

    Just wondering if anyone can help me figure out what setting to set edger to when cutting trivex on an older kappa edger. I have tried every setting and there is not a trivex setting on it. Its cuts full metal fine but semi rimless it gets stuck on the grooving cycle.

    Cut flat on CR with less water pressure than normal (Remember to turn it back up!), call the job back up and groove on PC. If that still doesn't work use a benchtop groover.

    Literally getting stuck? I dont have a kappa, but I will assume its melting itself to the groover wheel because its spinning to fast...
    My santinelly cuts trivex all dry like poly, but slower wheel speeds. During groove it rotates fairly fast. maybe you have a axis speed setting in menu of the kappa, if so turn it up.

    Kappas don't have that level of control for the edging, much less the grooving mechanism.
