Operation (cont'd)

Cutting Threaded Rod

Push the workpiece through the Stationary and Mobile
Dies up to the Measurement Stop (if being used) or
to desired finished length. The Rear Rod Rest can be
raised to support longer workpieces. Firmly seat the
rod against the threads of the Stationary Die and keep
the workpiece perpendicular to the dies. Activate the
hydraulic pump to begin the cut cycle. Wait for the rod
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: The threaded rod dies have been designed so that
the nut threads onto the cut rod by hand. Thread quality,
surface finish (i.e., galvanized or plated), dirt and scale
could affect the ability of the nut to thread freely onto the
cut rod.
Filing of the rod end or use of a pliers may be necessary
if nut does not easily thread on due to these factors.
Note: The Rear Rod Rest was designed to support
single workpieces up to 10ft lengths. Additional support
may be required when cutting lengths longer than this or
multiple pieces at once.
Tip: If a nut begins to thread and locks up, tapping
it on a surface will often loosen it and allow
continued threading.
Finished workpiece length should not be less than .25".
