Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the use of the Allpax AX4010 gasket cutter?

Q. Does Raptor Supplies offer similar gasket cutter kits of different gasket cutting capacities?

A. Yes, Raptor Supplies also offers Allpax AX4020 gasket cutter kits and Allpax AX4030 gasket cutter kits available in a cutting diameter of 1 and 37 inches, respectively.

Q. How do Allpax rotary-style gasket cutters work?

A. Rotary-style gasket cutters come with a stationary frame and a crank-powered set of rotating cutting discs. To operate, first set the scale bar to the required outer diameter (OD) and create a small hole in the centre of the gasket material to be cut. Then open the cutter, insert the material onto a scale bar spindle and fasten using the knurled nut. Using one hand, lower the cutting disc & apply pressure, while turning the crank with the other hand. Now remove excess material, adjust the scale bar to the desired inner diameter (ID) and make another circular cut around that circumference. Finally, remove the finished flange gasket.

Q. How to use Allpax extension-style gasket cutters?

A. Allpax extension-style gasket cutters have a cutter block with modular extension bars and an adaptable cutting blade. First, create a small hole in the centre of the gasket material to be cut. Now lay out the gasket material flat on the cutting board, put the central pin through the hole and insert it into a ferrule in the board. Set the blade to the desired depth of cut. Now loosen the knurled nut so that the blade can be adjusted to the desired outside diameter (OD). Add / remove extensions if required. Position the extension tail onto the pin. While holding the pin with one hand, grip the block with the other hand and apply downward pressure by sweeping a circular pattern around the circumference of the gasket material. Now, remove excess material and adjust the cutter to the desired inner diameter (ID) and make another circular cut around that circumference. Finally, remove the finished flange gasket.
