NESTINGFIXTURE(Continued…)
Controls
1. GototheMODESELECTscreen.
2. UnderESCAPE,choosehowtheindexviseresponds
afteronecutiscompleted.
 DO allow the index vise to move back 2mm
(standardsetting)toavoidthesawbandfrom
touchingthematerialasthesawbandisraised.
Itisdesignedforbundlecutting.
 NONEkeepstheindexvisestationarywhilethe
saw band is raised. It is designed for single
cutting.

Forbestnestingcuttingresults
1. Stackthesamenumberofstockpiecesineachrow.
2. Thestackshouldalwaysbehigherthanitiswide.
3. Increasing the nesting vise clamping pressure will
increasetheholdingloadperpiece.
4. Applyasmuchcoolantaspossiblewhilecutting.
5. Replacewearplatesonthemovablevisejawwhen
theybecomeworn.
6. Adjust the index table’s vertical guide rollers to
keepthestockfromcollapsingwhenthevisesare
unclamped.
7. Generally,reducedbandspeedandfeedforceare
necessary when sawing stacked material. This
resultsin alower cuttingrate thanpossible when
sawingsolidstock.
8. Insomeinstances,increasedproductionandblade
lifemaybeobtainedbynestingfewerpiecesthan
themaximumcapacitypermits.
