1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Application
The BM-18 is a bevelling machine designed to bevel plates and pipes made of steel,
aluminium alloys, brass, or plastics.
Depending on the milling head, the machine allows you to bevel at the angle of
22.5°, 30°, 37.5°, 45°, 50°, 55°, or 60°. The minimum workpiece thickness is 2 mm
(0.08″). The maximum bevel width is 18 mm (0.71″). A radius milling head allows you
to bevel with a radius of 2, 3, 4, or 5 mm. The minimum diameter of a hole to be
machined is 40 mm (1.57″).
An optional attachment allows you to bevel pipes and a sticker protects
aluminium workpieces from scratches. A worktable fixture allows you to bevel flat
bars.

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Before use, read this Operator’s Manual and complete a training in occupational
safety and health.
2. Use only in applications specified in this Operator’s Manual.
3. Make sure that the machine has all parts and they are genuine and not damaged.
4. Make sure that the specifications of the power source are the same as those
specified on the rating plate.
5. Do not carry the machine by the cord and do not pull the cord. This can cause
damage and electric shock.
6. Keep untrained bystanders away from the machine.
7. Before each use, ensure the correct condition of the machine, power source,
power cord, plug, control parts, and tools.
8. Before each use, make sure that no part is cracked or loose. Make sure to main-
tain correct conditions that can have an effect on the operation of the machine.
9. Keep the machine dry. Do not expose the machine to rain, snow, or frost.
10. Keep the work area well-lit, clean, and free of obstacles.
11. Do not use near flammable materials, or in explosive environments.
12. Use only tools specified in this Operator’s Manual.
13. Do not use tools that are dull or damaged.
14. Make sure that the cutting inserts and the milling head are correctly attached.
Remove wrenches from the work area before you connect the machine to the
power source.
15. Do not use the machine so that the milling head points up.
16. If the cutting edge of an insert is worn, turn all inserts by 90° or 180°. If all the
cutting edges are worn, install new inserts specified in this Operator’s Manual.
17. Use eye and ear protection, non-skid footwear, and protective clothing. Do not
use loose clothing.
18. Do not touch chips or moving parts. Do not let anything catch in moving parts.
19. After each use, clean the machine and the milling head with a dry cotton cloth
and no chemical agents. Do not remove chips with bare hands.
20. Maintain the machine and install/remove parts and tools only after you unplug the
machine from the power source.
21. Repair only in a service centre appointed by the seller.

22. If the machine falls, is wet, or has any damage, stop the work and immediately
send the machine to the service centre for check and repair.
23. If you are not going to use the machine, remove it from the work area and keep it
in a safe and dry place.

3.3. Adjusting the guide for bevelling with radius
Unplug the power cord. Loosen the clamping screw and turn the sleeve to align the
surface (1) with the end of the cutting edge (2). You can also use an optional radius
insert positioner to set the guide correctly. Tighten the clamping screw. Bevel a test
edge and if necessary adjust the position of the guide again.
3.4. Preparing
Install a milling head with the cutting inserts, and set the required bevel width. Then,
use the speed dial to set the speed that matches the type of the workpiece.
Material type
Rotational speed
Aluminium, brass, plastics Setting 6

3.5. Operating
Connect the machine to the power source. Put the machine on the left as shown in
the figure. Make sure that the workpiece is stable.
To start the motor, press and hold the switch lock (1)and the ON/OFF switch(2),
and then release the lock. Wait some seconds until the speed is at the required
value. With the two hands press the machine to the workpiece. Then, slowly move the
machine to the edge (3) until the tool starts cutting. Move the machine from left to
right (4).
Start with making small widths (3–4mm, 0.12–0.16″) and increase them with
experience. Bevel in at least two passes. Set the bevel width to a value that will allow
the feed of 1 m/min (3 ft/min) without using too much force.
If an overload occurs, the motor stops. This can happen when the bevel width is
too large for the hardness of material or when the cutting inserts are dull. Thus, to
prevent overload, machine hard materials in multiple passes and replace the inserts
before they become dull. Also, take periodic breaks during work and keep the air
vents unclogged. This prevents motor overheating and damage to the windings.
After the work is finished, release the ON/OFF switch to turn off the motor. Then,
wait until the rotation stops and unplug the power cord.
Clean the machine with a dry cotton cloth and no chemical agents.

3.6. Replacing the cutting inserts
Unplug the power cord. Loosen the screw (1)and turn the sleeve (2) to lower it as far
as possible and get access to the milling head. Use the T15 torx screwdriver to
remove the cutting inserts (3, 4). Clean the sockets.
To change the cutting edge, remove the inserts and turn them by 90° or 180°.
Then, push them to the sockets and tighten. If all the cutting edges are worn, install
new inserts. Make sure that the bottom of each insert is in full contact with the
socket (5).
Each week clean the threads of the mounting screws for inserts and put the
supplied grease on the threads.

3.7.1. Replacing the bevelling roller
Unplug the power cord. Remove the circlip and the roller.
To install the roller, use such a number of 1 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.2 mm washers to
set the gap to 0.2–0.6 mm between the roller and the cutting inserts. The number of
washers neededdepends on the milling head. Put all unused washers between the

4.2. Sticker against scratches
Self-adhesive guide sticker protects aluminium workpieces from scratches. After you
remove the sticker, clean the guide with petroleum ether.
4.3. Worktable fixture
Allows you to bevel flat bars with cross section of at least 15×25 mm (0.6×1″) and
length of at least 400 mm (16″). The maximum width of the flat bar is 100 mm (4″) and
the maximum height is 65 mm (2.5″). The maximum bevel width is 14 mm (0.55″).
Install the worktable fixture by using the holes in the base (1). Then, remove the
levers and the vertical clamp (2). Unplug the power cord and turn the sleeve to set ‘0’
on the scale. Next, put the machine with a bevelling milling head into the fixture (3)
so that the motor is on the support (4).
