CUTTER FLY-APART HAZARD!

 

 

Using cutters rated lower than the spindle speed greatly

 

increases the risk that the cutter will fly apart during

 

operation, which may cause very serious injury to the

�������

operator and bystanders.

 

 

 

Before installing cutters, you must plan the configuration

 

of rub collars and cutters required for the intended

 

application.

 

 

Figure 22. Rub collar mounted between

Rub collars limit the depth of cut and are typically used

two cutters.

 

with most cutters, depending on the profile and type of

���

cut being performed.

 

 

There are three set up positions for rub collars:

�����������

 

ABOVE THE CUTTER as shown in Figure 21. This

 

setup is the safest and produces the most consistent

�����

results.

 

 

 

 

 

BETWEEN TWO CUTTERS as shown in Figure 22. This

 

setup has the advantage of making two profile cuts

cutter.

 

 

 

BELOW THE CUTTER as shown in Figure 23. This setup allows the cut to be viewed by the operator; however, it is also the most dangerous because the operator is exposed to the moving cutter.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND SHAPING WITH A RUB COLLAR BELOW THE CUTTER!
