The tool shank must comply with EU regulations for fitting. For example, a 12.7mm shank requires a clamping depth of 24mm to ensure the shank operates within its proper pressure-bearing range.
Select a tool with a cutting edge longer than the workpiece thickness. For instance, to mill a 12.7mm deep groove, choose a tool with a blade length of 25.4mm. Avoid tools with a blade length equal to or less than 12.7mm.
2. Precautions for Tool Operation
All tools are designed for clockwise rotation to prevent twisting or breakage due to excessive pressure.
Tools undergo balancing tests during production to minimize runout. To ensure stable operation (no swinging or jumping), use suitable machinery and high-quality clamping sleeves.
The tool is suitable for processing hardwood, softwood, and composite boards (e.g., plywood, particleboard). Do not use it on metal (copper, iron, etc.) or abrasive materials (sand, stone, etc.).
Use a properly sized clamping sleeve. Worn, out-of-round, or tapered sleeves will fail to provide sufficient tightening force, leading to shank vibration, twisting, or flying off.
Replace damaged sleeves (under-rounded or worn) immediately with standard-sized, undamaged ones.
Insert the shank fully into the sleeve and secure it tightly. Never partially insert the shank—this may cause breakage and damage.
Replace blunt tools promptly. Continued use of dull tools risks breakage and workplace accidents.
Always wear eye and ear protection during operation.
When using tabletop machines, equip an anti-bounce device to prevent accidents caused by high-speed cutting rebound.
3. Tool Maintenance
Keep tools clean. After use, remove resin, wood shavings, and debris by soaking in standard industrial solvents.
Apply a small amount of machine oil to prevent surface rust. Ensure handles are free of stains to avoid slipping during use.
