Flat Stock Shearing
Dies
The bottom die for the flat stock shearing sta-
tion has four cutting edges that can be used by
mounting it in different positions. The top die has
one mounting position and one cutting edge. Both
dies can be face ground to sharpen the cutting
edges if necessary.
Note: The cutting edges of the dies must remain
flat and parallel in relation to one another. DO
NOT grind the top or bottom of either die.

To remove and replace the flat stock shearing
dies:
1. Turn the motor OFF, and press the emergen-
cy stop button to avoid unexpected tooling
movement.
2. Remove the shearing hold-down, shearing
support frame, and shearing table.
3. Set the controls to Notch and Inch, reset
the emergency stop button, then turn the
machine
ON.
4. Use the foot actuator to pivot the beam to
the right so that the flat head cap screws of
the top die are accessible, then release the
pedal actuator to hold it in that position (see
Figures 59–60).
The edges of ironwork-
er tooling are very sharp
and can quickly cut fin-
gers and hands. Always
wear heavy leather gloves
when handling tooling to
avoid injury.
