Pull Arm Guide Rod for Polar 80 EL Paper Cutter, GS-346

Guide shaft or guide rod for the center of the pull arm on Polar 80 EL paper cutters. This 11mm diameter alignment rod fits up through the center of the pull arm to prevent it from flapping around and causing damage when the shear bolts break. It is made from centerless ground drill rod for maximum toughness. Overall length is approximately 11" long.

This guide shaft is held in place with a dowel pin.  The guide shaft must be drilled in place to install it.  Many cutter rebuilders will tap out the dowl pin hole in the lower arm and install a set screw.  This will prevent having to drill out the guide shaft each time it is replaced.
