[24] CUTTING PRESSURE CONTROL dial
Used to adjust the pressure with which the saw blade is pressed against
the work being cut. The cutting pressure is adjusted according to the
material and shape of the work to ensure efficient cutting.
Turn the dial clockwise to increase the cutting pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease the cutting pressure. Work materials are
indicated in colored zones around the dial. Set the dial within the
applicable colored zone to suit the material and size of the work to be
cut.
For work of the same material and size but more difficult to cut, turn the
dial clockwise to increase the cutting pressure. For work less difficult
to cut, turn the dial counterclockwise to decrease the cutting pressure.
NOTE
O When the dial is turned clockwise, the variation of the sawhead downfeed
speed with the cutting resistance decreases or the sawhead lowers at an
almost constant speed. When the dial is turned counterclockwise, the
variation of the sawhead downfeed speed with the cutting resistance
increases.
O The colored zones of the dial give Amada’s recommended values for cutting
round bars of representative material types. For single cutting of plates and
rectangular bars and for stack cutting, set the dial near the maximum value of
the colored zone for each type of material. In this case, the dial may be set
somewhat beyond the applicable colored zone.
