Notching
1. Activate the start switch making sure the cutter is rotating the correct way. With the cutter
rotating, the notch can be created.
2. Using the large feed hand wheel, slowly rotate in the counter clockwise direction. As the
cutter makes contact with the material, continue to rotate feeding slow enough not to
damage the cutter. The cutter control shaft is equipped with a 1-way clutch which prevents
the cutter from being turned in the counterclockwise direction.
3. Once the cutter passes completely through the material, continue to rotate the hand wheel
unti
l the red pointer lines up with the red indicator pin at the 12 o’clock position.
4. If the material needs to be notched deeper, advance the "X" hand wheel, moving the
material closer toward the cutter, repeat these steps until the desired notch depth is
achieved.
5. Alternate depth notch, if you know how deep you need to notch, mark that depth on the
material. Rotate the red indicator to the 6' o'clock position, then feed with the "X" handwheel
until the cutter reaches the mark, Then make one complete revolution to complete the notch.
Angle Notching
To notch at an angle, the vise needs to be
rotated left or right. For small angles, rotating to
the right is ok, but for large angle, rotating the
vise to the left is preferred.
IMPORTANT: Never rotate the vise to
the right so that the lead screw is in front of the
end mill. The vise could be inadvertently moved
into the end mill damaging the vise, end mill
and possibly the spindle.
1. Precut the material to the desired angle
prior to notching. This will create an edge
that is parallel to the end mill.
2. Loosen the vise pivot lock handle and rotate
the vise to the desired angle and lock the
pivot handle.
3. Load the material into the vise similar to a square end cut and proceed with the milling.
