THE BROACH CUTTING CONCEPT
If you are unfamiliar with the use of annular (or broaching) cutters, take a
few minutes to read this guide - you will benefit from the better
performance and longer life of the tool if you understand the concept.
Annular cutters only cut material at the periphery of the hole, rather than
converting the entire hole to shavings. As a result, the time and energy
required to make the hole is lower than for a traditional twist drill.
The broaching capacity of a machine is therefore greater than the twist
drill capacity. The slug ejected after the cut also has a higher scrap value
than shavings.
FITTING THE SAFETY CHAIN
A safety chain should be used wherever possible as a safety precaution in
the event of a power failure releasing the magnet; particularly in
situations where the machine is clamped onto a vertical surface or in an
inverted position.
SAFETY CHAIN INSTRUCTIONS
When the machine has been clamped to the workpiece in the correct
position for drilling, the chain should be fitted at a secure part of the drill.
Then passed around a substantial part of the workpiece and fastened
securely.
Once the cut is complete, the chain should be released, and the machine
supported before the magnet is disengaged.
