Working Mechanism

• In the case of the extension style gasket cutter kits, pierce a hole having a small diameter in the centre of the gasket material to be cut.
• Lay out the material flat on the cutting board.
• Poke the centre pin through the hole and insert it into a ferrule in the board.
• Set the blade to the required depth of cut.
• Loosen the knurled nut and adjust it to the desired outside diameter.
• Add / remove extensions, if necessary.
• Place the tail of the extension onto the pin.
• Grip the block with one hand while holding the pin with the other.
• Sweep a circular pattern around the circumference of the material while simultaneously applying downward pressure.
• Remove the excess material.
• Adjust the cutter to the desired inner diameter and cut another circular pattern around that circumference.
• Remove the finished flange gasket.
• In the case of rotary style cutters, mount the unit to a workbench, using bolts, to provide a stable base of operation. Set the scale bar to the desired OD and pierce a small hole in the centre of the gasket material to be cut.
• Open the cutter, insert the material onto a scale bar spindle and fasten using the knurled nut. Using one hand, lower the cutting disc & apply pressure, while also turning the crank with the other hand.
• Remove excess material, adjust the scale bar to the desired ID and make another circular cut around that circumference.
• Finally, remove the finished flange gasket.
