flat shearing tips
To avoid tooling or workpiece breakage and
the risk of possible injury to the operator,
never attempt to cut a workpiece that is not
adequately supported and held in place.
Never attempt a cutting operation that is
beyond the capacity of your machine.
NOTICE
To make accurate and safe flat stock cuts,
be sure the table and bottom shearing die
are level and even with each other (refer to
Shearing Table Alignment on Page 49).
The workpiece MUST extend through the hold-
down and through the dies, as shown in
Figure 31,
to avoid sudden unexpected upward movement of
the workpiece during the cutting operation.
