  • Page 26: Interrupted Material Feed

    INTERRUPTED MATERIAL FEED Material feed may be interrupted when the cutter slips due to several possibilities, such as worn cutters, excessive external forces etc.. Should interruption of the material feed occur, do not try to move the machine with the cutter engaged in the cutting position, or shake the machine or plate, as this is likely to break the cutter.

  • Page 28: Cutter

    It is important to note that the properties of different materials will respond differently to each other with respect to rotary shearing. Therefore the following is only intended as a guideline. It is Gullco's recommendation that the best cutter for the project be found by trial and experimentation.

  • Page 29: Sharpening Instructions For Kbm®-28 Cutters

    IMPORTANT: If the Gullco KBM -28 cutter is resurfaced below the original recess, or if cutters ® other than those approved by Gullco International are used on the Gullco KBM ® 28 Portable Plate Edge Bevelling Machine, the warranty will be void.

  • Page 30: Cutter Details

    The thickness of the original cutter is 1.1" [28 mm] and must be kept in its original proximity after sharpening, by using cutter spacers. It is recommended that after sharpening, measurement of the cutter thickness be made and appropriate spacers installed behind the cutter to bring the total thickness as close as possible to the 1.1"...

  • Page 31: Forces Acting On The Cutter

    FORCES ACTING ON THE CUTTER The rotary shearing cutter on the KBM -28 Portable Plate Edge Bevelling Machine is subjected to ® considerable stress under load. The drawings above outline the dynamic forces that may be applied to a cutter in operation. F1 = Cutter rotation shearing force.

  • Page 32: Cutter Breakage Caused By External Forces

    CUTTER BREAKAGE CAUSED BY EXTERNAL FORCES In most cases the cutter will break when one or a combination of the external forces, P2 through to P6 described on the previous page, is applied beyond the limit of the cutter. Exceptionally heavy stress may be applied to the cutter by moments P3 and P4. These moments apply a lever action upon the cutter as shown below.

    TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY Slight Overload. Push plate forward to help feeding. Check bevel width relative to the plate tensile strength. Overload. Take smaller cuts per pass. Refer to "Bevelling Capacity" earlier in the manual. Check the guide roller for correct set-up. Refer to the Guide Roller not functioning.
  • Page 37 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE, CONTINUED…. If the bevelled plate looks similar to the adjacent image:  Check that the cutter thickness and spacers are not too great (as described on page 26).  Check that the correct angle pin is installed and that the Angle Alignment Bolt setting is correct (as described page 12).
