1. Keep the inside of the Hougen Cutter clear of chips. Chips will interfere with cutting
to maximum depth, maybe impede the free oil flow and can cause cutter breakage.
2. Keep the work, machine, arbor and the Hougen Cutter free of chips and dirt.
3. Tighten all bolts and fasteners regularly.
4. We highly recommend using a light viscosity cutting fluid (preferably
Hougen Cutting Fluid.
5. Occasionally check metering of cutting fluid flow. Lack of cutting fluid may
cause the Hougen Cutter to freeze in the cut, slug to stick and may result in poor
cutter life.
6. Always start the cut with light feed pressure and then increase sufficiently to
achieve the maximum cutting rate.
7. Ease off on the pressure as the cutter begins to break through at the end of the cut.
8. Keep the slide dovetails, brass gibs and feed rack lubricated and free from chips and dirt.
9. When the slug hangs up in cutter, turn off the motor and bring the cutter down on a flat surface. This will normally straighten a
cocked slug, allowing it to be ejected.
10. When cutting large diameter or deep holes it may be necessary to stop in the middle of the cut to add cutting fluid and remove the
chips from around the arbor. (When doing this DO NOT raise the cutter out of the hole. Doing so can allow chips to get under the
teeth of the cutter. This will make it difficult to restart the cut.)
"Babying" the cutter through the cut will only decrease tool life.
