Shear Adjustments - Baileigh Industrial 3-IN-1 Operator's Manual

SHEAR ADJUSTMENTS

To obtain optimum results, shear alignment and shear
bow are two conditions which may need to be adjusted
depending on the gauge and type of material you want
to shear. Shears that are out of adjustment may lead to
uneven or ragged cuts.
1. Lower the shear and hold it in position.
2. Measure along the length of the blades; check the
gap of the moving blade and the fixed blade with a
0.002" (.05mm) feeler gauge as shown in figure 7.
• If the gap is the same along the length of the
blades then no further adjustment is needed.
• If the gap is unequal, proceed to Step 3.
• If you detect a bow in the gap, read the next
sub- section on shear bow.
3. Loosen the two cap screws (#13) that hold the table in place (fig. 7).
4. Turn the two adjustment screws (#52) (one on each end of the work apron) until the gap
is equal across the length of the blades.
5. Tighten the two table adjustment screws and re-check.
Adjust for shear bow:
Make small adjustments to the bolt attached to the
shear blade adjustment bar.
1. Tighten the adjustment bolt (#26) to cause the
ends of the upper blade to move away from the
fixed blade or loosen the bolt to cause the ends of
the upper blade to move toward the fixed blade.
2. Once the shear bow is corrected, re-check the
shear gap.
