Material Insertion
1. Once the proper cutter is installed, the
material to be notched can be inserted into
the vise.
2. Open the vise and insert the material so that
the end toward the cutter extends past the
vise jaw approximately 2" (50.8mm).
Material should be kept as close as possible
to the vise jaws to get accurate notches.
3. Tighten the vise.
4. If an angle notch is required, loosen the
cam handle (A) and rotate vise to the
desired angle, not to exceed 45 deg. DO
NOT rotate the vise so that the lead screw
(B) in in front of the end mill.
5. Using the "X" and "Y" hand wheels, position
the material up to the cutter leaving about
1/2" (12.7mm) of clearance between the
cutter and material.
6. The "X" and "Y" Table gibs are set tight from the factory. This is because they are only used
in positioning. The gibs may be loosened; however, this may induce chatter or vibration
when notching material.
7. Position the material as far back (toward the chuck) on the cutter as possible. Visually check
for possible interferences and correct by extending out more material and/or repositioning.
