GASKET CUTTER KIT INSTRUCTIONS
for Allstate's
Inch and
Metric
Cutter Kits |
|
|
Adjusting
the Cutting Blade: Loosen Cutter Head Screws (Fig. 2) and extended
Cutting Blade (Fig. 3) beyond Cutter Head just enough to cut through the
gasket material; tighten the screws firmly.
Use the large scale for diameters 1” and over and the small scale for
small gaskets and bolt holes. The outside diameter or circle should
always be cut first.
Cutting Gaskets up to 12” in Diameter: Using the large scale on
the Cutter Block, set the center line on the Fig. 4 Post for the desired
outside diameter, and secure with Thumb Nut (Fig. 6). Slightly puncture
the material with Fig. 17 Piercing Tool in the center of the desired cut
and push Fig. 8 Center Pin through this hole up to shoulder of pin.
Place material on Cutting Board (Fig. 12) and insert point of Center Pin
in the Fig. 9 Ferrule in the center of the board. Position Gasket Cutter
on material so that the hole in Fig. 4 Posts is over the body of the
Center Pin. Using slight pressure, rotate the Gasket Cutter clockwise to
cut OD of gasket. (See Photo A). Remove Cutter, set Fig. 4 Post for
inside diameter, replace cutter on material and cut ID in same manner as
above.
Cutting Gasket 12” to 24” in Diameter: Place Fig. 10 Extension
Bar in groove on bottom of Cutter Block, with large hole in Bar closest
to the Cutting Blade. Insert Fig. 5 Post through large hole and Cutter
Block, and secure with Fig. 6 Thumb Nut. (See Photo B). Extension Bar
adds 12” to capacity of Gasket Cutter so that setting of Fig. 5 Post
should be equal to actual diameter desired less 12”. For example to cut
a 16” diameter Fig. Post should be set at 4 on the large scale. Set Fig.
5 Post for outside diameter, place hole at furthest end of Bar over
Center Pin, and swing Cutter to make the cut. Re-set Fig. 5 Post for ID
and make cut in same manner. Note: For diameters over 17”, use Fig. 9
Ferrule in corner of Board.
Cutting Gaskets over 24” in Diameter: In addition to Fig. 10
Extension bar, use one Fig 6A Thumb Nut and Fig. 11 Extension Bar for
each additional 12” of diameter desired. Fasten Bars together by
inserting studs in one Bar in holes of other Bar and secure with Fig. 6A
Thumb Nut. Setting of Fig. 5 Post should be equal to actual diameter
desired less 12” for each Extension Bar used. For example, to cut a 32”
diameter use one Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 Bar and set Fig. 5 Post at 8 on the
large scale. Proceed with cutting of gasket in same manner as described
in preceding step.
Cutting Small Gaskets: Insert Fig. 16 Post in Cutter Block with
offset pin nearest Cutting Blade, and secure with Thumb Nut. Using small
scale, set post for desired diameter. Pierce material slightly and lay
over the offset pin. Place Fig. 15 Cutter Knob over material so that
offset pin enters hole in center of Knob. Using slight pressure, rotate
Cutter Knob clockwise to make cut.
Cutting Bolt Holes: Locate exact center of desired bolt holes,
and proceed in the same manner as cutting small gaskets.
Cutting Thick Materials: Set blade depth to one-half the
thickness of the material, make partial cut from one side, turn material
over and repeat the cut. For example, if material is ‘A” thick, set
blade for ¼” depth and cut from both sides. Use Fig. 8A Center Pin for
Material ‘.4” thick and over. |
