SCORING/SLITTING/PERFORATING
Your new folder is capable of many different applications
that compliment the folding performance and provide for
greater productivity.
The folder is equipped with slitter shafts that are quickly
set up for the required operation. These shafts accommodate
the mounting of the standard and optional accessories
available that perform scoring, slitting and perforating
functions.
It is important to note that accessories from previous
model Baumfolder machines with 7/8" diameter slitter shafts
are still adaptable to your new folder.
1.0 Slitter Shaft Accessories Removal
To remove slitter shafts, remove knob (Figure 29-1).
Insert knob into the center of the slitter housing (29-2) and
remove the housing, using the knob. Add or remove the
parts needed for the current job using the wrench (Figure
30) provided with the machine. See the following pages for
more information on perfing, scoring, and slitting. Reinstall
slitter housing and knob before starting the machine.

1.1 Scoring
The folder can be used to score a sheet and deliver it
flat, or to score a sheet after a fold or folds have been
made.
To ensure accuracy in making right angle folds,
always score the sheet where the fold or folds are to be
made. This applies in all instances when a perforator
cannot be used.
Various weights of stock with few or numerous folds
require a different type of score. Some jobs require a
narrow, sharp score, usually when the folds are few, and a
fuller, more rounded score when the job becomes bulky.
The new Baum Adjustable Score Assembly (Figure 31)
makes it easier to adjust the depth of your score. This is
adaptable for any Baum folder with 7/8-inch diameter
slitter shafts.
The Baum Adjustable Score Assembly consists of two
special score collars which are connected by two adjusting
screws. These screws provide precise control over the
compression of the rubber score tire, which in turn
determines the depth of the score.
For previous type scoring accessory setup, see Figure
32. Scoring blades can be mounted on either upper or
lower shaft. They should be placed
