ACCESSORIES

ROLLER STOCK CONVEYORS

1. 

Your machine may be equipped with one of the 

following roller stock conveyors for moving long 

stock into cutting position (or as an unloading add-

on).  The following conveyors are available:

• 

Stock conveyor five (5) feet (1525.0 mm) long by 

18 inches (457.2 mm) wide rollers with a weight 

capacity of 750 pounds (340.2 kg) per roller.

• 

Stock conveyor ten (10) feet (3050.0 mm) long by 

18 inches (457.2 mm) wide rollers with a weight 

capacity of 750 pounds (340.2 kg) per roller.

Roller Stock Conveyor.

2. 

To install a roller stock conveyor:  

(a)

  Position 

the assembled conveyor(s) behind or in front of 

the machine base; (b) Adjust the conveyor to the 

machine with the leveling screws on the conveyor 

legs.  The top of the front conveyor roller should be 

inline to 0.010-inch (0.25 mm) above the vise bed 

wear plate. 

3. 

The remaining rollers must be parallel to, and in the 

same plane with the vise beds to within 0.010-inch 

(0.25 mm) per 24 inches (609.6 mm) of travel.

4. 

Depress the roller shafts for ease of installation or 

removal of rollers.

 

The conveyor DOES NOT attach to the machine 

base.  Anchor the conveyor to the floor after 

all leveling and adjustments are made.

VERTICAL GUIDE ROLLERS (Conveyors)

1. 

Vertical guide rollers are effectively used to help 

maintain correct positioning of long stock on the 

conveyor.

2. 

These can be installed between the discharge tray 

and conveyor or between conveyors (if more than 

one is supplied).

Vertical Guide Roller.

NESTING FIXTURE

1. 

This optional feature is designed for high-production, 

multiple sawing of stacked bars, rounds and tubing.  

Its jaws have the capacity to hold stock from 1.00 

minimum to 19 inches (25.4 to 482.6 mm) wide, and 

from 1.00 minimum to 14 inches (25.4 to 355.6 mm) 

high.

2. 

Vertical nesting clamp cylinders are mounted to 

the machine’s roller bed rail and index vise.  The 

cylinders operate simultaneously with the regular 

vise clamping cylinders.
