Cutting FlexLink beams

Beam lengths

If you have ordered 3 m or 6 m beams, they will need to
be cut into suitable lengths before assembly. Study your
drawing to determine the beam lengths that are required.
The FlexLink catalogue 5147, chapter CS, contains a for-
mula for calculation of cutting lengths for support beams.

Saw requirements

The circular cross-cut saw for aluminium must have a
higher speed than when cutting steel, and a carbide tip
blade adapted for aluminium products in order to give a
nice and clean cut.

The saw should have the ability of cutting the largest

profile in one single cutting action.

Working site

You should use a special area for cutting beams in order
to keep the assembly area clean.

Quality of cut

If burrs are evident, they must be removed prior to
assembly.

Make sure the cut is straight for proper assembly.

SAFETY

All safety precautions issued by the cutting saw manufac-
turer should be followed at all times.
