Guardair AX6040 Extension Gasket Cutter Kit

Product Description

The GUARDAIR AX6040 is an extension gasket cutter kit designed to cut circular gaskets across a wide diameter range, from 1/4 inch up to 49 inches. The kit expands the cutting capacity of a standard gasket cutter by adding a 25-inch extension bar, multiple center pins, and supporting hardware. It is used by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and millwrights working with large-diameter flange gaskets, pump covers, and industrial sealing applications. The included components allow the user to configure the cutter for different center-hole sizes and radii without requiring a separate tool.

This kit is suited for industrial maintenance environments where gaskets must be cut on-site from sheet stock. Typical applications include cutting ring gaskets for large-bore flanged pipe connections, industrial pump housings, and equipment covers. The extension bar configuration makes it practical for applications where a standard-length gasket cutter cannot reach the required radius. The kit is appropriate for use with cork, rubber, fiber, and similar soft sheet gasket materials commonly found in mechanical and process piping systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an extension accessory kit for use with compatible GUARDAIR gasket cutter systems requiring extended cutting radius capability up to 49 inches in diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this kit is typically performed by maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, or industrial technicians. Before cutting, ensure the gasket sheet stock is secured on a firm, flat surface to prevent movement during scoring. Assemble the extension bar and select the appropriate center pin for the anchor-hole size on the workpiece. Do not apply excessive downward force during the cut; make multiple light passes to achieve a clean edge on compressible gasket materials.
