Instruction Manual

X-table: move the table far enough to the left so that the required
number of slices or the size of the workpiece to be cut can be
managed. If this is not necessary, the tables should be kept close
together to support the sample as much as possible during
cutting.

Y-table: move the table to place samples slightly forward of the
cut-off wheel's centre. This maximises cutting efficiency.

Clamp the workpiece with the clamping device of your choice e.g.
a quick clamping device. Place the workpiece between the clamp
and the backstop.

Push the clamp towards the workpiece, and lock the quick
clamping device with the locking handle.
Ensure that only one of the quick clamping devices is tight, the other
device should only press lightly. Use support tools if the geometry of
the workpiece makes support necessary.
When using the AxioCut Step cutting mode, the cut-off wheel cover may
hit the jaw of the Quick Clamping Device, if this is mounted in the forward
position; i.e. using the cross-directional T-slot closest to the front of the
To avoid this situation, place the quick-clamping device as far back as
possible, using the front-most T-slot.
Test possible infringement by starting the machine with the cut-off wheel
completely clear of the clamping device.
There is however no danger involved should the cut-off wheel guard
accidentally hit the clamping device.
Axitom will stop automatically and display the following messages:
"Y-table position not found" or "Cutting arm position not found".
