USING TOP CLAMP FOR BUNDLE CUTTING

Before Cutting , Make sure that the bundle is properly tightly clamped but not being
distorted by clamp force.
Any improper bundle cutting can cause damage to the blade, reduce the blade life.
Notice: There are several factors to makes bundle cutting more difficult and unstable, such as
vibration, wide guide spacing, coolant getting to the teeth and cutting through work
hardened chips.
1. Each bar of the bundle is suggested to be the same size for being firmly clamped in the
bundle.
2. Make sure that the bundle is properly placed (before cutting) to refrain from vibration,
spinning and changing length position during cutting.
3. Tack welding ends of bars will prevent spinning but not vibration.
