PREPARATION FOR BENCH OPERATION
The Gullco KBM
®
-18 Plate Edge Bevelling Machine may be used as a bench mounted rotary shear
for bevelling small, light and manually manageable work pieces. For bench mounted applications,
the optional Base Frame and spring loaded caster assemblies can be removed from the machine (if
applicable). To establish an efficient, safe working position, mount the bevelling machine to a
levelled bench or work table, capable of handling the load involved. It is always advisable to tilt the
mounting of the bevelling machine to allow the work pieces to remain in a flat, horizontal plane. It is
not recommended to bevel heavy or large work pieces that are difficult to manually handle, with
bench mounted machines. If a heavy or large piece must be bevelled with a bench mounted
machine, support the material with a suitable arrangement of rollers or casters to allow free
movement of the material. Ensure that the work piece is level with, and sits flat on, the Main Roller
and Support Rollers.
IMPORTANT: Heavy work pieces being bevelled on bench mounted machines can cause a
twisting force on the cutter and may lead to cutter / machine damage.
IMPORTANT: Make sure all plates are started square to the cutter, or damage could result.
