Cutting plates
N Secure the plate on a non-slip
surface
N Grind a guide groove (A) along the
line marked
N Make the cut (B) deeper with even
back and forth motions
N Leave a "hinge" (C)
N First sever the plate at the cut ends
so that no material breaks away
N Break plate
N Make curves in multiple operations
– make certain that the cutting
wheel does not tilt
Cutting round and hollow bodies
N Secure pipes, round bodies, etc.
against rolling away
N when determining the cutting line,
avoid reinforcement, especially in
the direction of the severing cut
N Grind a guide groove along the line
marked
N Make cuts deeper with even back
and forth motions – feed with full
cutting depth along the guide
groove – for small corrections of
direction, do not tilt the cutting
wheel, but always position it anew
instead – if necessary, leave small
ridges that hold the part that is to be
separated in position. Break these
ridges later
Shaping pipe
N Mark a cutting line
N Grind a guide groove along the
marked cutting line – do this by
starting at the apex and cut outward
on both sides
N Cut into pipes, round bodies, etc. in
the area at the ends of the cutting
line, so that the material does not
break away
N Make cuts deeper with even back
and forth motions – start at the apex
and cut outwards on both sides –
feed with full cutting depth along the
guide groove – for small corrections
of direction, do not tilt the cutting
wheel, but always position it anew
instead – if necessary, leave small
Manual cutting along this line
requires particular caution and
precision.
