UFB CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

The following are cutting Instructions for Universal File Bar (#UFB401). Step one is to determine the length you require. Below are instructions for measuring your lateral file cabinet drawer.

A) For side-to-side filing, measure the inside distance from drawer wall to drawer wall, then subtract 1/8" for the actual bar length. Each clip takes up 1/16" of drawer space. (see drawing).

B) For front-to-back filing, determine if there is a lip or edge that the clip can attach to. If so, the above instructions apply here also. If not, then you must first create a side-to-side UFB. It now becomes the edge that the front-to-back bar can attach to.

Common methods for cutting UFB's to the required length are: hacksaw, bandsaw, jigsaw, sawzall, chopsaw, coldsaw and drysaw. The material is 16 gauge (1/16" thick) galvanized steel, so any of the pre-ceding methods equipped with a metal cutting blade work well.

Caution: wear safety glasses when you are cutting steel & don't forget to remove any sharp edges with a file.
