Optional Angle Notcher tooling will provide a distortion and burr
free, two-sided, 92 degree shear cut to mild steel bar, plate or
angle stock. Common use of this tooling is in the fabrication of
angle iron frames. Please review capacity labels positioned at
the Angle Notching Station.
Turn off power to machine by depressing the red stop /
off button or lockout upstream power at the main electri-
cal panel.
Setup
Optional tooling and accessories fit within the open station of
the machine. Your Angle Notcher is equipped with one, two-
sided top Notcher blade and two, four-sided bottom blades.
The top blade is mounted on guide pins and return springs
of the tooling base. The moving “center” of the ironworker,
pushes on the top Angle Notch blade via the accessory
push block. If ordered as a factory installed option, your
Angle Notcher assembly is setup for immediate operation. If
ordered as an option, the punch station of the machine must
be cleared of any existing tooling, material or debris prior to
tooling installation. Angle Notcher blades are wearing parts
and will need to be maintained or replaced over time. Refer
to the maintenance section for blade maintenance, removal
and replacement. To setup your Angle Notching station please
observe the following steps:
Install the push block:
Install the push block to the moving center. The V-shaped end
of the push block should be pointing away from the machine.
Secure the push block with bolts provided.
Install the Angle Notcher assembly:
1. Place the Angle Notcher assembly on the Ironworker
support table with the “V” pointing away from the machine.
2. Loosely secure the table from the underside of the base
with four 1/2" bolts and washers (provided).
3. Check for push block and top blade alignment by power-
ing on the machine and slowly inching down the push
block to meet the top blade with the foot pedal. Power the
machine off.
4. In the event that the push block and top blade are not
aligned, simply loosen the bolts under the table allowing
the table to be moved to center the push block centerline
to the top blade. When aligned, tighten the table bolts to
secure the table.
5. Install the Angle Notcher guard with the bolts provided.

Safe Operation
Observe the following guidelines when operating the Angle
Notcher Station.
• Never exceed the capacities of the machine or tooling as
described in the machine specifications or listed at the
tooling station.
• Check Angle Notcher blade clearance at every tooling
change or extended notcher operation. Maintain .010"
clearance between top and bottom notcher blades at all
times. Failure to maintain clearance will damage blades
and support pockets.
• Cut with a minimum of two sides of the blade surfaces
engaging the material being notched. Cutting on one
blade surface may overload the blades and result in tool-
ing damage or injury to the operator.
• Do not stack material to cut in the Angle Notcher station.
• Perform complete notch operations only – partial notch
cuts may jam the drop off side of the tooling and could
result in breakage and operator injury.
• Use notching aids when working with small items at the
Angle Notcher station.
Angle Notcher Operation
1. Clear the feed table of the Angle Notcher station of any
tools or debris prior to powering the machine on.
2. Turn machine on. The top Angle Notcher blade will be in
the neutral position. Push the material under the tooling
guard and into the blade area. Position your material to
the desired cut.
3. Clear your hands from the working area and depress the
foot pedal to activate the Angle Notcher. When the cut is
complete, release the foot pedal to automatically return
the top Angle Notcher blade to the neutral position.
