1) Cast iron or ferrous materials, composed of metal alone, are
secondary raw materials, so they may be taken to an iron
foundry for re-smelting after having removed the contents
(classified in point 3);
2) electrical components, including the cable and electronic material (magnetic cards, etc.), fall within the category of material
classified as being assimilable to urban waste according
to the laws of the European community, so they may be set
aside for collection by the public waste disposal ser vice;
3) old mineral and synthetic and/or mixed oils, emulsified oils
and greases are special refuse, so they must be collected,
transported and subsequently disposed of by the old oil
disposal service.
NOTE: since standards and legislation concer ning refuse in
general is in a state of continuous evolution and theref ore
subject to changes and variations, the user must keep
informed of the regulations in force at the time of
disposing of the machine tool, as these may differ from
those described above, which are to be considered as

and that sufficient coolant is coming out.
The cropper is now ready to start work, bearing in mind that the
CUTTING SPEED and the TYPE of DISC - combined with a
suitable descent of the head - are of decisive importance for
cutting quality and for machine performance (for further details
on this topic, see below in the chapter on “Material
classification and choice of disks”).
- When starting to cut with a new disk, in or der to safeguard
its life and efficiency, the first two or three cuts must be
made while exerting a slight pressure on the part, so that
the time taken to cut is about double the normal time (see
below in the chapter on “Material classification and choice
of disks” in the section on
Running in the disk
).

as reference the type SHELL LUTEM OIL ECO.
THE MINIMUM PERCENTAGE OF OIL DILUTED IN WATER
IS 8 - 10 %.
8.6 - Oil disposal
The disposal of these products is controlled by strict regulations.
Please see the Chapter on “Machine dimensions - Transport
- Installation” in the section on
Dismantling
.
8.7 - Special maintenance
Special maintenance operations must be carried out by skilled
personnel. Ho wever , we advise contacting THOMAS or their dealer
and/or importer. The term special maintenance also covers the
resetting of protection and safety equipment and devices.
MATERIAL
CLASSIFICATION AND
9
CHOICE OF TOOL
Since the aim is to obtain excellent cutting quality , the various
parameters such as hardness of the material, shape and
thickness, transverse cutting section of the part to be
cut, choice of the type of cutting disk, cutting speed and
control of head descent, must be suitably combined.These
specifications must therefore be harmoniously combined in
a single operating condition according to practical
considerations and common sense, so as to achieve an
optimum condition that does not require countless operations
to prepare the machine when there are many variations in
the job to be performed.The various problems that crop up
from time to time will be solved more easily if the operator
has a good knoledge of these specifications.
WE THEREFORE ADVISE YOU ALWAYS TO CHOOSE
ORIGINAL SPARE DISKS THAT GUARANTEE SUPERIOR
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE.

First of all the pitch of the teeth must be chosen, suitable for
thematerial to be cut, according to these criteria:
- parts with a thin and/or variable section such as profiles , pipes
and plate, need close toothing, so that the number of teeth
used simultaneously in cutting is from 3 to 6;
- par ts with large transverse sections and solid sections need
widely spaced toothing to allow for the greater volume of the
shavings and better tooth penetration;
- parts made of soft material or plastic (light alloys, mild bronze,
teflon, wood, etc.) also require widely spaced toothing.
9.3 - Teeth pitch
As already stated, this depends on the following factors:
- hardness of the material
- dimensions of the section
- thickness of the wall.

9.4 - Cutting and advance speed
The cutting speed (m/min) and the advance speed (cm2/min =
area travelled by the disk teeth when removing shavings) are
limited by the development of heat close to the tips of the teeth.
- The cutting speed is subordinate to the resistance of the
material (R = N/mm
dimensions of the widest section.
- Too high an advance speed (= disk descent) tends to cause
the disk to deviate from the ideal cutting path, producing non
rectilinear cuts on both the vertical and the horizontal plane.

), to its hardness (HRC) and to the
9.5 - Running in the disk
9.7 - Type of disks
The disks differ essentially in their constructive characteristics,
such as:
- Tooth shape
- Tooth cutting angle
Tooth shape
The profile of the toothing depends on the size, shape and
thickness of the section to be cut, either straight or at an angle.
It may also vary according to the pitch, but not so distinctly as to
make this an element for classification.
- Fine toothing is to be chosen for cutting small sections with a
profiled shape and tubular sections with thin walls (2-5 mm
depending on the material).
- Large toothing is suitable for cutting medium and large solid
sections or fairly thick profiled or tubular sections (o ver 5 mm).
"A" toothing:
normal fine toothing
"B" toothing:
normal large toothing with or
without shaving breaking incision
“C (HZ)” toothing:
large toothing with roughing
tooth with rake on both sides,
alternating with a finishing
tooth without rake. The roughing tooth is 0.15-0.30 mm
higher
Tooth cutting angle
Each tooth has two cutting angles:
αα
α : front rake angle

γγ
-
γ : rear rake angle

"AW" toothing:

Added toothing:
disks made in this way are
used for cutting non-ferrous
metals, such as light alloys,
and plastics, and above all in
wood-working. The teeth are
hard metal (HM) plates brazed
onto the body of the disk; there
are various types and shapes
and, considering the vastness
of the field, the topic is not
developed further here.
When cutting for the first time, it is good practice to run in
the tool making a series of cuts at a low advance speed
(= 30-35 cm
to the cutting capacity and solid section of normal steel with
R = 410-510 N/mm
with lubricating coolant.

), generously spraying the cutting area
9.6 - Disk structure
The most commonly used disks are made of extra high speed
steel (HHS) of normal quality (HHS/DMo5) or superior quality
(HHS/Mo5 + Co5) with a treated tooth, which differentiates them
from the former on account of the high value of structural
resistance, greater resistance to seizing, absence of stress in
the mass and a better holding of lubricating coolant during work.
