1060 – 14 – Vice Loading and Bundling

1m

In many saw cutting operations, workers will bundle multiple pieces. This effects beam strength. Even though all machines have a set capacity they can handle, the amount of material that is realistic to load might be lower. Typically, the harder materials are, the less a saw can handle at once.

Positioning the material on the vise can have a large impact on cost per cut. When the material is shaped strangely, the materials need to be loaded so the blade cuts through as exact a width as possible.

When grouping materials or cutting strangely shaped parts, it is of utmost importance to clamp the material. If not, then the teeth of the blade may get stripped. Bundling properly can improve your shop’s cost per cut.
