1. Advanced Operations

Irregular workpieces without plane clamping surfaces must be
clamped using special clamping tools, as the workpieces must not
move during the cutting. This could result in damage to the cut-off
wheel or to the workpiece itself. Use the T-slots to mount the special
clamping tools.
Struers offers a selection of Clamping Tools (Please refer to the
Struers Clamping Tools brochure
To achieve faster cutting, position the workpiece so that the wheel
will cut the smallest possible cross-section.
To cut workpieces exceeding the width of the cutting chamber, a
plate in the cutting chamber wall may be removed and replaced by
rubber curtains.
A set of rubber curtains can be ordered separately as part of a spare
part kit (Cat. No. 15322902).
In some countries it is a requirement to have a fixed side wall in the
cutting chamber and rubber curtains may not be used.
Please check local regulations before ordering.
Remove the left-hand side cover of the protection hood.

Mount the rubber curtains and the attachment rail inside the

hood and secure with the 3 M5 screws supplied.
Place the workpiece without clamping it.

Position the workpiece so that it can pass through the rubber

curtain when the protection guard is closed.
Check that the tilting cutting unit can pass, when cutting.

Clamp the workpiece.

If needed, put a cloth around the protruding workpiece to absorb

any cooling water that may leak out.
