The M. K. Morse Company
For over 50 years, Morse has been manufacturing, selling and innovating quality products for metal and wood cutting industries. Supported by a network of experienced salespeople, highly trained technicians and strategically located weld centers, Morse distributes globally to 70 countries.
Family-owned and headquartered in Ohio, Morse takes great pride in marking product "Made in the USA". Virtually all product offered by Morse can receive this honor. The goal is to provide consistency, reliability and quality in everything Morse produces.
Optimize product performance;
- Blade speed significantly impacts cutting life. Running a blade at excessive speed for a particular application generates more heat, dulling the cutting edge. The harder the material is, the slower the blade speed should be
- Blade should always be turning before starting the cut. Starting the blade with the teeth touching the material can cause teeth to strip or chip, shortening blade life.
- The foot of the machine should always be in contact with the material, providing blade support and control.
- "Seasaw" the machine while cutting (particularly with harder materials). Doing so will distribute the heat of the cut and provide even wear.
Applications:
Mild Steel Solids, Tubing & Structural steels
Stainless Steel
Aluminum and Non-ferrous metals
Safety Tips:
Shut power down
Before any maintenance is performed on any machine, the source of the power must be shut off. Either unplug or remove batteries prior to working on a machine.
Exposed wire
Inspect power cords and batteries for potential damage, prior to supplying power to the machine. Exposed wires can lead to electrical shock, cracked batteries can cause chemical burns.
Clean workspace
The area chosen for performing the cutting operation, should be dry, well lit and free of any clutter. Set up in an area providing clearance around the entire area, a safe distance from others and away from combustibles. Sparks from machine or cut have potential to ignite the materials.
Clamping material
Material should be secured in a vise or clamped to a solid, level surface, holding material as close to the intended cut, for full support. Doing so will reduce the chance of the blade being "pinched" in the cut. Never manually hold the material when making a cut.
