Setting up procedures
1. When using RS press, stock no 541-309, ensure that it is securely
mounted to a rigid surface (see Bench mounting).
2. Remove the adjustable stop from the press, lower the ram, then
remove the handle.
3. Mount the shear plate, using the two countersunk head screws
provided, (Figure 19) (see also mounting holes B, Figure 1).
4. For independent mounting, bolt the 'L' shaped bracket, supplied with
the tool, to a suitably rigid bench surface ( 2 mtg. holes M10 clear,
150mm centres), then mount the tool to the bracket using the two
countersunk head screws provided, (Figure 21).
Sheet material cutting procedure
5. Use sheet material to the maximum thickness as given in Table 2.
6. With the blade up, slide the workpiece horizontally up to the blade.
7. With forward pressure on the workpiece, pull the lever down so that
the blade bites into and shears along the line of cut, (Figure 20).
8. Continue to feed the material, cutting with a scissor action.
9. Note that the offcut, as indicated (Figure 20), will bend naturally
during cutting.

Rod cropping
This tool is also capable of cropping brass, copper and mild steel rod
and studding. The tool has 4 cropping hole - diameters 3, 4, 5 and 6mm
clear.
10. Mount the tool as described under items 1 to 4. Position the lever
so that the cropping holes in the blade align with those in the shear
plate.
11. Insert a rod of the appropriate diameter, (Figure 22), and holding it
steady, bring the lever down, cropping to the required length.
Points of caution and information
12. When handling smaller size materials, keep hands well clear of the
cutting edges, by gripping the material with pliers.
13. Lightly oil the cutting and cropping edges for easier shearing and
longer blade life.
14. Store the tool with the blade closed protecting the cutting edges
from damage.
Circle cutting (external)
Accessories required
Crop and shear tool , RS stock no. 541-387
An attachment which when fitted to the top of the press in conjunction
with the press handle and crop and shear tool, RS stock no. 541-387,
will enable the use to cut external radii and circles.
Setting procedure and cutting
1. Follow the setting up procedure points '1' to '3' for crop and shear
tool, RS stock no. 541-387.
2. Mount the handle clamp block to the top of the press at holes G,
(Figure 1).
3. Slide the centre pin over the press handle then fit and lock the
handle into the clamp.
4. Move the centre pin along the press handle to a set distance or
between the pin and the cutting edge of the shear plate, (Figure 23).
5. With a 3mm hole punched or drilled in the workpiece, locate onto
the centre pin, (Figure 24).
6. Commence shearing in the same manner as point '5' to '9' of crop
and shear tool , page 10.
7. Revolve the workpiece around the centre pin, continuing to cut until
the required length of radius or circle is complete.
Job alignment aids
Accessories required
Side stop , RS stock no. 541-567
Back stop, RS stock no. 541-551
Centering point RS stock no. 541-545
Three alignment accessories for use in conjunction with RS press,
stock no. 541-309, for accurate and repeatable dimensional reference.
Max thickness
14swg (2mm)
18swg (1 2mm)
1 6mm
Side stop RS stock no. 541-567
1. The side stop can be fitted on either side of the press frame at holes
D, (Figure 1).
2. Consists of a circular shaped stop (with a step rest) mounted 'off
centre' to a bar which screws into the press frame with a locknut.
3. The stop slides along the bar to give side reference dimension 'x',
(Figure 25), and also revolves on the bar in a cam fashion giving
variation in rest height.
4. Fit the stop as shown, tightening the bar locking nut and locking the
stop with screw indicated.
5. Maximum range of adjustment from ram centre 41 to 220mm.
6. Maximum vertical adjustment 20mm above the dieholding face.
Back stop RS stock no. 541-551
7. The back stop can be fitted to either side of the press fame at holes
C, (Figure 1).
8. Consists of a bar clamp with an 'L' shaped rest.
9. The bar slides in the clamp until it is tightened to give back
reference dimension 'y',(Figure 25).
10. The stop can also be moved up and down to give a degree of
vertical adjustment.
11. The rest can be screwed to the end of the bar in three positions.
12. Maximum adjustment from ram centre 150mm.
13. With both the stops fitted and set for correct distance and height,
sheet material can be positioned for repeated accurate centering
(Figure 26).
Centering point RS stock no. 541-545
14. Consists of a circular plug which fits into the central hole of the
press base, having a centre point, which represents the centre line
of the ram.
