4.9. Using the CAT Bracket & V-Block
TheMcIntyreCATShearsarettedwithaCATBracketasstandard.TheCATBracket
hasbeenspecicallydesignedtoaidintheprocessingofCatalyticConverters(CAT’s).
Once the CAT has been cut using the blades of the Shear, the CAT can be placed with
the squashed end under the CAT Bracket, with the edge against the side of the Top Jaw.
The Top Jaw is then lowered and the CAT Bracket will compress the end of the CAT, re-
opening it, thus allowing the material inside to be recovered.
CAT’s may jerk up or shift while being cut. Always keep
hands well clear of the Blade Guard and the Shear Jaws while
processing CAT’s.
TheMcIntyreCATShearscanbettedwiththeV-Blockattachmentasanoptionalextra.
This is designed to work with the CAT Bracket to make re-opening the CAT’s even easier.
After being cut, the CAT is simply placed with the squashed end in the V-Block, up against
the side of the Top Jaw. The V-Block holds the CAT in the correct position for the CAT
Bracket to re-open the CAT, when the Top Jaw is lowered.
