If floor stand has been provided, machine must be bolted to floor stand with bolts provided. Stand must be securely lagged to floor. 1. Mount and level Notcher with drop-out overhanging edge of bench and bolt or lag in place. Lubricate all points with SAE 30 machine oil before operating. 2. Upper Standard Blades - (17) and (18) are set at factory for “pierce” cutting, starting at apex or corner of inside cut. To change to “splay” cutting, interchange blades (17) and (18) end for end so that cut starts at outside edge of sheet. Align blades at point (elongated holes are provided in blades for this purpose) before tightening blade bolts (16) securely. 3. Lower Standard Blades - (28) and (29) are each symmetrical and can be mounted to use all 4 cutting edges. Blades are positioned by blade bolts (32) from underneath table. 4. Blade Adjustment: a. Take off table (21) by removing two table screws (27). Position the slide at bottom of stroke. b. Loosen lower blade bolts (32) slightly. c. Turn blade adjusting screws (26) mounted in adjusting plate (25) to bring blade to .002 normal clearance between upper and lower blade.

  • Severance Tool Countersinks
    Phone: 989-777-5500 Fax: 989-777-0602 E-Mail: [email protected] Severance Tool Industries Inc. • POB 1866 • Saginaw, MI 48605 A Countersink For Every Use Severance Tool Industries, Inc. manufactures countersinks with one, four and six flutes, carbide and high speed steel, countersinks with pilots and drill points, heavy-duty tools and specials. Sizes range from 1/8" to 3", and almost any centerline angle can be specified. These standard tools will handle at least 99% of all countersinking applications ... and we can build specials to satisfy any other need. Carbide or Steel? When machining hard or abrasive materials, carbide countersinks will often give 10 or more times the service life of high speed steel tools. As a rule of thumb, consider carbide for production operations with cast iron, alloy steel or glass-reinforced plastics. High speed steel is generally more economical in low carbon steel and nonferrous machining applications. In automated production operations, the cost of changing a tool can exceed the cost of the tool. Consider long-running carbide in such situations. 1, 4, or 6 Flutes? In general, a six-fluted countersink will remove more material per revolution than will a four-flute or single-flute tool. While the single-flute countersink is slow cutting, it will work well in a non-rigid machining setup. Four flutes provide more chip clearance than six do. This is a consideration in machining stringy materials such as some plastics and nonferrous alloys. Other factors being equal, the six-flute countersink will give more service life than the four-flute tool because the cutting load is distributed over more edges.

  • Forming Methods
    theartofpressbrake.com http://www.theartofpressbrake.com/wordpress/?page_id=1023 Forming Methods Bend Allowance, Outside Setback, Bend Deduction If you calculate these with precision, you have a better chance of bending a good part on the first try. But, to make this happen, you need to make sure every factor in the equation is what it should be, and this includes the inside bend radius . How exactly is this inside bend radius achieved? To uncover this, we must first look at the different methods of bending on a press brake: air forming, bottom bending, and coining. The Methods of bending There are three different types of bending methods used in the forming of sheet metal: “ air forming“, “Bottom Bending and “Coining. Each of these methods has a specific purpose and application. In this chapter the benefits and the inefficiencies of each will be discussed. Coining Note that there are three bending methods, not two. Bottom bending and coining often are confused for the same process, but they are not. Unlike bottoming, coining actually penetrates and thins the material. Coining is the oldest method and for the most part, no longer practiced. Why? Because of the extreme tonnages this method requires. An amount of tonnage so great that the material “flows” on a molecular level while under this extreme pressure. Coining forces the punch nose into the material, penetrating the neutral axis, figure 1. Technically, any radius may be coined, but traditionally, coining has been used to establish a dead-sharp bend. This method not only requires excessive tonnages, it also destroys the material’s integrity.

  • Twice As Sharp® Operators Manual
    OPERATORS MANUAL TWICE AS SHARP® Scissors Sharpening System Customer service 1-800-888-3832 Professionally Sharpen Scissors and Shears manufactured by WOLFF INDUSTRIES, Inc. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON LEE WOLFF Inventor of Twice as Sharp® 1930 - 1996 In 1957 Lee Wolff started a sewing machine sales and service business. Fabrics and a complete line of sewing needs were added in 1963, and the number of employees grew to 25 to handle the volume. During those years, Lee did a great deal of scissors sharpening and repair and made im- portant modifications on the available scissors sharpening equipment. In 1971 Lee and Mary Wolff became the first major importer and distributor of plastic handled scissors in the United States. They started to manufacture sewing scissors in 1973 under the trade name of KNIP. A U.S. patent was granted on the KNIP. The scissors factory was sold to American Scissors Corp. in 1980 and moved to the south. Lee set up the factory and innovated many new manufacturing processes. The July 1983 Consumers Reports rates the American Scissors designed and produced by Lee Wolff as a best buy. He also designed a full line of unique plastic handled scissors with interchangeable parts. Lee worked on perfecting the process of scissors sharpening for many years. It is necessary to accurately control the cutting angles, reduce burr formation during sharpening, and do deburring and micro-sharpening as a final process. This method produces scissors that are normally twice as sharp, hence the name Twice as Sharp® scissors sharpener. A United States patent has been granted as well as several foreign patents.

These tools are the perfect addition to our expanding line of industry-leading cordless metalworking tools with the most advanced brushless motor and battery technology,” said Terry Tuerk, Metabo’s Senior Product Manager. The Metabo NIV 18 LTX BL 1.6, 18V nibbler, is available as a bare tool (601614850), or in a kit version with 2 - 4.0 LiHD batteries, charger and case (US601614400). A punch, die and combination key are included with the tool. The NIV 18 LTX BL 1.6 includes a speed selector for adjusting the cutting speed according to the material being worked. The nibblers' powerful Metabo brushless motor deliver up to 600- 2,360 strokes per minute. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE METABO’S NEW CORDLESS NIBBLER AND SHEAR PAGE 2 The tool can cut through 16-gauge mild steel, 18-gauge stainless steel and 14-gauge aluminum and has a minimum curve radius of 5/8".

  • 15 Degree Sharpening Module for Use on Chef’Schoice® Model 2100 Commercial Sharpener
    INSTRUCTIONS 15 Degree Sharpening Module for use on Chef’sChoice® Model 2100 Commercial Sharpener Module shown inserted in Model 2100 Sharpener. (Sharpener not included). Read these instructions before use. It is essential that you follow these instructions to achieve optimum results. © 2011 EdgeCraft Corp. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF 15° SHARPENING MODULE EdgeCraft offers the 15° detachable sharpening module designed specially to place a factory quality edge on Japanese, Asian style knives and all other 15° knives. It can be used inter- changeably on the Model 2100 Sharpener with the standard 20° module designed for the European/American style blades and all other 20° knives. The 15° module is identical in size to the 20° module and it can be removed or installed on the guide rails of the Model 2100 as described in the Model 2100 manual. The 15° Japanese/Asian module can be used for either straight edge or serrated edges, how-ever the 20° European/American module is recommended for sharpening serrated blades because serrated blades are predominantly manufactured with 20° edge angles to provide greater support for the individual serrations. While Asian style knives have historically been sharpened at about 15 degrees at the factory and European/American style knives have been made with 20 degree edges, very recently leading German factories have introduced European style knives edged at 15°. Remove the standard 20° European/American module from the 2100 sharpener and install the 15° Japanese/Asian module as described in the Model 2100 Instruction Manual pages 11-12. Understanding THE DIFFERENCE – EUROPEAN/AMERICAN AND Japanese/ASIAN STYLE KNIVES In general you will find that Euro/American blades shown in Figure 1 are sturdier than the more delicate and thinner contemporary Asian blades as illustrated below.
