Cutter Installation

Always follow the cutter manufacturer recommendations; however, if not available use the list below with your particular cutting needs in mind to help select the correct cutter, spindle, and RPM. Then install your cutter as outlined.

a)Choose Cutter Profile and Cutter:

To help select the correct cutter, you can go online to select your cutter, bushings, and rub collars.

•For shaper cutter profile selection go to www.romancarbide.com and select the applicable cutter.

b)Choose Cutter Height and Spindle Size:

Use these general specifications to help select cutter and spindle size.

	• For the 1⁄2" diameter spindle, the
	maximum safe cutter height used with
	washers, T-bushings, or rub collars, and
	lock nuts installed is 2".
	• For the 3⁄4" diameter spindle, the
	maximum safe cutter height with
	washers, T-bushings, or rub collars, and
	lock nuts installed is 2 1⁄2".
	• For the 1" diameter	spindle,	the
	maximum safe cutter height with
	washers, T-bushings, or rub collars, and
	lock nuts installed is 2 1⁄4".
	b) Choose Spindle and Cutter RPM:
	Use these general specifications to help
	select spindle and RPM. NOTE: Always use
	the largest spindle possible, and only use a

OPERATIONS	single bushing if you need	to reduce	the
	cutter inside diameter size.

	• For shaper cutters smaller than 31⁄2" in
	diameter run the spindle at 10,000 RPM.
	• For shaper cutters 31⁄2" and larger in
	diameter, run the spindle at 7,000 RPM.
