EXTENSION SQUARING GAUGES
The Extension Squaring Gauge provides long length precision positioning surface for resquaring sheets and shearing
blanks. Gauge is equipped with one fixed stop and one swing stop for two gauge settings. The fixed stop is used for
settings farthest from blades. Additional swing stops are available for multiple settings. The gauge can be mounted on
either side of the shear, (preferably on the right.)
To mount gauge, insert two tee bolts in Tslot in front of bed. Bring gauge up to shear, allowing tee bolts to pass through
the mounting holes in the bracket of the gauge. Put on washers and nuts but do not tighten. Line up mounting holes in
gauge bar with bed holes normally used for side gauge. Insert bed bolts but do not tighten. Check gauge to make sure it
is level with top of bed, if not, shim up gauge outer support leg. Square up gauge with blades. Tighten all bolts securely.
Secure gauge support leg to floor. Recheck squareness of gauge bar with blades and level of gauge. Check gauge on
regular basis during use.
