Flat Bar Shear Station
Your Ironworker includes a flat bar shear as a standard
feature. The flat bar shear will provide a distortion and burr
free shear cut to mild steel bar stock as listed in the machine
specifications as well as described on the capacity labels
positioned at the Flat Bar Shear Station. The Flat Bar Shear
allows for straight or angled cutting operations. The material
hold down adjusts with a simple hand crank to safely restrain
the material being cut.
The Flat Bar Shear is factory set to proper clearances and
is ready to begin shearing operations. Clearances should
not be altered.
Shear blades are wearing parts and will need to be
maintained or replaced over time. Refer to page 15 for blade
maintenance, removal and replacement.
Safe Operation
Observe the following guidelines when operating the Flat Bar
Shear Station:
• Never exceed the capacities of the machine or tooling as
described in the Ironworker specifications or listed at the
tooling station.
• Fully engage the material hold-down with the material
being cut.
• Do not stack material to cut in the shear station.
• Perform complete shear operations only – partial shear
cuts may jam the drop off side of the frame and could
result in breakage and operator injury.
• Use shearing aids when working with small items at the
shear station.
Bar Shear Operation
1. Clear bar shear station of any tools or debris prior to
powering the machine on.
2. Turn machine on. The shear blades will be in their neutral
position. Place bar stock on the feed table and push
the material under the material hold-down. Position your
desired cut mark adjacent to the moving shear blade.
3. Secure the bar stock in the material hold-down by
engaging the handscrew into the material.
4. Clear your hands from the working area and depress the
foot pedal to activate the shear station.
5. When the cut is complete, release the foot pedal to
automatically return the shear blades to their neutral
position. Reverse the hand screw to raise the manual
material hold-down and remove your material.
