Expected life and the recommended care for the tool:

Rotary shear machining tools are engineered to process materials with a maximum tensile strength of 600 MPa (87,022 PSI).

When all guidelines in the instruction manual are strictly followed, these tools can potentially last for 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) or more.

In practice, the typical lifespan ranges from 2,000 to 3,000 meters (6,561 to 9,842 feet). It's important to note that various factors can influence the tool's longevity.

Material and its preparation

It is crucial to respect the maximum strength specifications of the material being machined. Using the tool on materials exceeding the recommended strength will not only significantly shorten the tool's lifespan but also risk damaging or destroying both the tool and the drive unit.

The method of material preparation before machining can greatly impact tool longevity. If your workshop uses flame cutting, it's advisable to clean the edges intended for beveling with an angle grinder. This is particularly important for plasma-cut materials, as the cutting process can harden the edges, potentially reducing the tool's overall lifespan.

Care for tool

Proper maintenance and care play a vital role in extending the tool's useful life. Regular upkeep is essential for optimal performance and longevity.

During the beveling process, it's important to frequently assess the tool's sharpness. If you notice any dullness, sharpen the tool immediately. Continuing to work with a blunt tool can lead to chipping or complete destruction of the tool.

Working procedure

Following the correct machining procedure is crucial. Detailed instructions can be found in the tool's manual, which should be consulted regularly.

When attempting to achieve maximum possible reductions in bevel edge width, it's necessary to divide the machining process into two separate cuts. For a comprehensive explanation of this technique and other important procedures, refer to the machine's user manual.
