Flat Stock Shearing

Dies

The bottom die for the flat stock shearing sta- tion has four cutting edges that can be used by mounting it in different positions. The top die has one mounting position and one cutting edge. Both dies can be face ground to sharpen the cutting edges if necessary.

Note: The cutting edges of the dies must remain flat and parallel in relation to one another. DO NOT grind the top or bottom of either die.

To remove and replace the flat stock shearing dies:

1.Turn the motor OFF, and press the emergen- cy stop button to avoid unexpected tooling movement.

2.Remove the shearing hold-down, shearing support frame, and shearing table.

3.Set the controls to Notch and Inch, reset the emergency stop button, then turn the machine ON.

The edges of ironwork- er tooling are very sharp and can quickly cut fin- gers and hands. Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling tooling to avoid injury.
