HYDRAULIC CHIP CONVEYOR
(optional)
An option available with the V-18 II is the hydraulic chip conveyor drive which provides an easier means of
cleaning out the chips that accumulate while cutting. A Chip Conveyor control switch for the hydraulically driven
chip conveyor is located on the operator control panel.
CHIP CONVEYOR (optional)
The chips generated while sawing can be
removed from the bottom of the machine with the
help of the optional chip conveyor. Rotation of the
chip conveyor crank will operate the conveyor in the
direction of rotation of the crank. A chip bucket is
included with the chip conveyor option.The crank
handle and chip bucket are shown below.

MECHANICAL CONTROLS
HEAD FORWARD LIMIT SETTING
The Head Forward Limit is factory set and under normal operating conditions
should not need to be reset.
TO SET LIMIT: If adjustment is necessary, the Head Forward Limit is an
assembly on the vise cylinder rod. Loosen the set screw that allows setting of
the limit switch actuator, and adjust according to your needs. The photo shows
the Head Forward limit switch assembly.

COOLANT FLOW
A generous flow of coolant should be applied in order to increase
production and blade life. The machine is provided with a control
switch on the operator panel and an independently controlled
coolant spout. This spout should always flood the blade with
coolant. Slight adjustment may be required when changing the blade
speed. A properly adjusted flow of coolant should cover the blade
which in turn will carry it into the cutting area. Flow adjusting tap is shown at
Console side in in the photo.
NOTE:
When cutting materials that do not need coolant (cast iron) some
coolant flow is required to provide blade lubrication in order to prevent blade
scoring by the carbides.
