Selecting A Blade and a Blade Assembly
Simplifying the process...

With the number of available blade sets, it may be easy to confuse what would be the proper assembly to fit your particular application. Following the simple steps below will assure that you have the correct parts needed, to work in your particular application.

A. Which Style Should Be Used?
In determining which style you will need, examine these 2 areas:
  • Will the tips be dressed on the welder, or off?
  • What style tips will be dressed?
    A-Nose B-Nose C-Nose D-Nose E-Nose F-Nose
    (Pointed) (Dome) (Flat) (Eccentric) (Truncated) (Radius)
               
B. When Tips are Dressed on the Machine:

How much clearance is there between welding faces? A minimum of 3/4" is needed to dress online.
  • If there is at least 3/4", and not more than 1-1/2", use either the BF or BT series, depending on the blade tip.
  • If the spacing is more than 1-1/2", use the extended series (i.e. BE, or BEL). If pointed tips are to be dressed, a 2" minimum is needed. This allows it to accommodate the extended guide ring.
C. Tips to be dressed off-line

In almost all cases when dressing your tips out of the machine, we recommend that you use extended style blades. The exception to this would be if you are currently dressing online with flush style blades, and want to dress only occasionally off-line.

You can then use the Adapter #AD-01, which will hold flush style chucks, and can be threaded with the #SS-01 Stud Shank and chucked into a lathe or drill press.
