AS 1473.8-2007

Sets out the safety requirements that are applicable to shank-mounted, bore-mounted or integral spindle milling tools and circular saw blades for woodworking machinery. Sets out means for determining the maximum rotational speed for a given eccentricity at the clamp and for a given material strength. Does not apply to boring bits, eccentric single router cutters and cutters with a cutting circle of less than 16 mm.

This Standard sets out the safety requirements for milling tools for woodworking machinery of the shank mounting, bore mounting or integrated spindle type, as well as for circular saw blades.The Standard also sets out means for determining the maximum rotational speed for a given eccentricity at the clamping devices and a given tool shank strength. The means is applicable to milling tools having a cylindrical shank. Marking requirements for the tool are also specified. The maximum speed is applicable whether the tools are mounted horizontally or vertically.This Standard does not apply to boring bits, eccentric single router cutters, cutters with a cutting circle of less than 16 mm and to tools used in rotary knife lathes and copying lathes where the hazard of ejection and contact with the tool is always prevented by a system of fixed guards and/or movable guards interlocked with guard-locking and/or self-closing guards.
