Cutting Tolerance Flat Shear
To obtain the best cutting results, a correct cutting tolerance should be observed.
The average cutting tolerance between the upper knife and the bottom knife should be
approx. 0,9 mm.
After some time the cutting tolerance can increase. By means of the adjustable knife
block guiding it can be set again.
The upper knife that is supplied with the machine, can be used for the 2 different
cutting angles (1,5 and 3,0°). The 4 cutting edge of the knife can be used.
The lower knife can be also used on the 4 cutting edges.
1= right cutting surface (approx. 0,9 mm)
2= wrong cutting surface (<0,8 mm)
With the option ‘automatic cutting tolerance’ tolerance will be adjust automatically at
10% of the materialthickness.
