Cutting Strut Channel

When cutting strut channel, the work piece must always
be supported by the Front Material Rest. Do not cut
total channel lengths of less than 7.5" as they cannot be
properly supported and can cause a die to fracture.
Place the workpiece on the Front Material Rest and Rear
Channel Rest (if long enough) and push through the
Stationary and Mobile dies up to the Measurement Stop
(if being used) or to desired finished length. The Rear
Rod Rest should be lowered out of the way. Activate the
hydraulic pump to begin the cut cycle. Wait for the strut
to shear then release the hydraulic pressure. The Mobile
Die will return to its original position to begin another cut.
Lower the Measurement Stop and unload the finished
workpiece, then return the stop for the next cut.
Note: cutting finished lengths of less than 2 inches may
warp the channel profile.
Note: the Rear Channel Rest was designed to support
up to 10ft workpiece lengths. Additional support may be
required when cutting lengths longer than this.
When cutting short pieces of strut channel the
finished workpiece can pop out due to the shock
of the cutting cycle, always wear safety glasses.
Shearing across holes and slots can leave sharp
points on finished workpieces.
Do not cut single box strut workpieces with the
double strut dies, the dies will fail quickly.
