Whenever possible, setup the cutter so that it cuts
the workpiece from the underside. This creates a
safety barrier between your hands and the cutter.
If the cutter is designed to remove material from
the top of the workpiece, we recommend you mount
the cutter upside down, then reverse the spindle
rotation and feed direction. In this configuration,
the workpiece provides a safety barrier between the
cutter and the operator.
Always use the largest spindle possible to reduce
stress on the spindle bearings.
If necessary to install a cutter with a larger bore
than the spindle diameter, only use a bushing that is
designed for this purpose and do not use more than
one bushing.
Use the spacers to install the cutter as low as
possible on the spindle in order to decrease the risk
of accidental contact with the cutter and reduce
wear on the spindle bearings.

Before installing cutters, you must plan the configuration
of rub collars and cutters required for the intended
application. No matter how the rub collars are
configured on the spindle, they must allow the hex nuts
to tightly fasten down to prevent the rub collars and
cutter from being loose on the spindle.

setup allows the cut to be viewed by the operator;
however, it is also the most dangerous because the
operator is exposed to the moving cutter. WE DO
NOT RECOMMEND SHAPING WITH A RUB COLLAR
BELOW THE CUTTER!
