SM846 CHOP SAW ATTACHMENT
The Dremel SM846 chop saw attachment is
intended for use when cutting cylindrical
objects such as threaded rod, wire shelving
and wooden rods up to ½” in diameter. This
attachment will help control your cut by using
the support tabs to rest the material against
while cutting in a chopping motion.
When using the attachment to cut objects with
larger diameters or when using the SM510
Metal Cutting wheel, you won’t always make it
through the material with one cut. The SM510
Metal Cutting wheel will decrease in diameter
as it’s used, reducing the cutting capacity. In
these instances, you will need to make your
first cut and then reposition your material to
finish the cut.
To install the attachment:
1. Unplug your tool.
2. Turn your SM20 tool over so that the foot is
facing up.
3. Insert attachment into the foot as shown in
figure 21.
4. Tighten screw into the attachment with allen
wrench provided with tool kit as shown in
figure 21.
Instructions for use:
1. Clamp work piece so that it is secure.
2. Loosen the Depth Adjustment Lever so that
the spring loaded foot releases and goes to
zero depth setting. Leave the Depth
Adjustment Lever loose during this cut.
3. Place both tabs of attachment against
clamped work piece before starting tool as
shown in figure 22.
4. Start tool and cut material in a chopping
motion until you are finished making the cut
as shown in figure 23.
5. If you need to make a second cut to get
through the material, turn off tool and rotate
the work piece 90 degrees in your clamp.
6. Once secured in your clamp, finish cutting
through your material with a second cut.
