Abstract

A knife block and looper mounting block having a plurality of grooved retaining plates positioned between and joined to the flanges of a body member. At least certain of the retaining plates have slots in the upper surface for receiving a clamping member for acting on the gauge parts. A multi-knife mounting block has the grooves of adjacent plates progressively disposed closer to one of the flanges and further than the other to correct for disalignment due to the rise in pitch angle between the knives and loopers.
