The magnetic clamping force is dependent
on the condition of the substrate. The
clamping force is significantly reduced by
paint, zinc and scale coatings and rust.
The substrate must satisfy the following
conditions in order to achieve sufficient
magnetic clamping force:
■
The substrate must be magnetic.
■
The clamping surface and the magnetic
foot (8) must be clean and grease-free.
■
The clamping surface must be
completely smooth and level.
NOTE
►
Clean the substrate and the magnetic
foot (8) of the machine before use.
►
Remove any unevenness and loose
rust from the substrate.
►
The CS Unitec range of accessories
includes special holding devices.
The best clamping effect is obtained on low-
carbon steel substrate with a thickness of at
least 20 mm.
St e e l w i t h l o w t h i c k n e s s
When drilling into low thickness steel, an
additional steel plate (minimum dimensions
4" x 7-7/8" x 3/4" [100 x 200 x 20 mm]) must
be placed under the workpiece. Secure the
steel plate to prevent it from falling.

A special holding device must be used when
drilling into NF metals or into workpieces with
an uneven surface.
