Cutter Installation
Before installing cutters, you must plan the configuration
of rub collars and cutters required for the intended
application.
Rub collars limit the depth of cut and are typically used
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
in a single pass.
• 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!
ACCIDENTAL START-UP HAZARD!
Always disconnect machine
before installing or removing any
cutting equipment. Performing
these procedures while machine
is connected to power greatly
increases risk of serious injury!
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.
