Uses

Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter is used to create flange, ring and irregular shape gaskets out of non-metallic gasket materials, such as cork, fibre and rubber. This Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter is also used to cut out multiple, same-sized gaskets in power plants, breweries, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and food processing industries.

Working Mechanism

Follow these steps while operating this Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter:

  • First mount Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter onto a workbench having a vise or on a vertical flange with the help of C-clamps.
  • Select a sheet gasket material to be cut. Cut & trim the material into a rough square while keeping note that the shortest side of the square material remains larger than the outer diameter of the gasket.
  • Punch an 11/32 inch guide hole approximately in the centre of the trimmed gasket material using a hollow punch (#13 punch).
  • Slide the scale bar of Allpax AX7000 to the desired outer diameter (OD) reading using the scale bar T-screw and disengage the top cutting disc by rotating the cutter disc lever counter-clockwise.
  • Firmly secure the position of the gasket material's guide hole on the threaded scale bar spindle using a knurled nut. The guide hole allows the gasket material to remain centred and ensures proper tracking of the cutter.
  • Rotate the cutting disc lever of Allpax AX7000 clockwise to engage the top cutting disc and penetrate the gasket material.
  • Start turning Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter's hand crank in the clockwise direction while maintaining a downward pressure on the cutting disc lever to draw in the gasket material towards the cutting discs.
  • Stop the rotation of the hand crank & disengage the top cutting disc in Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter after the OD of the gasket is cut. Excess material outside the OD can now be discarded.
  • Now, slide Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter's scale bar to the desired setting for cutting the internal diameter (ID) of the gasket. Follow the same procedure as earlier for cutting out the internal diameter of the gasket.
  • Discard the internal gasket material and remove the newly cut gasket from Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter.
  • Irregular shape gaskets can also be cut using this Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter by simply removing the scale bar and manually feeding the gasket material through the cutters. Other procedures will remain the same as mentioned above.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right gasket cutter?

The first deciding factor that a user must decide on is whether the assembly needs to be stationary or portable.
In general, the extension-style circular gasket cutters are portable and lightweight. These gasket cutter kits are widely used to fabricate non-metallic or non-rigid gasket materials. On the other hand, the rotary gasket cutters are heavier and require mounting or bolting on a vise or a workbench for fixed-location gasket cutting.
The rotary gasket cutters are ideal for metallic or rigid gasket materials, as well as cutting out irregular shape gaskets. These gasket cutters are powered using either a hand crank or using an electric motor. The motorised version provides quick, hassle-free operation but requires electric power. The hand-operated rotary gasket cutters do not require any electrical power supply and can be installed anywhere.
Users can further narrow their search for the right gasket cutters by selecting on the basis of cutting diameter specifications that indicate the face widths of the finished gaskets.

What is the difference between a rotary gasket cutter and an extension style gasket cutter?

A rotary style gasket cutter is widely used in applications having a permanent installation constraint, whereas the extension-style gasket cutter can be moved easily from one location to another for cutting large diameter gaskets. The latter, unlike the former, also requires the gasket material to be laid flat on a workbench or a dedicated gasket fabrication table.

Does Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter require assembling?

No, Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter comes completely assembled and pre-adjusted for use from the factory.

Does Allpax AX7000 gasket cutter come in other variants?

Raptor Supplies can deliver a similar (Allpax AX7001) gasket cutter for cutting metallic material, such as soft steel, copper, zinc and brass. Allpax AX7001 bench-mounted gasket cutter also has a throat of 8.75 inches for making gaskets, rings & flanges having face widths ranging from 1/2 to 8-3/4 inches.
