Operating instructions for the Model 1051 tube finisher
The Model 1051 tube finisher is a single spindle finishing machine. It is designed to use nylon, flap, wire, and
other finishing and/or de-burring wheels. Your Model 1051 may be fixed speed (single or three phase), or
variable speed single phase depending on the configuration ordered. The Model 1051 has a 4” O.D. integrated
dust collection adapter that will connect to a dust collection system with a recommended minimum capacity of
500 CFPM.
Stone, vitreous, or other type grinding wheels must not be used on the Model 1051. For maximum
effectiveness, and operator safety use wheels manufactured by well-respected manufacturers.
●
Use wheels that are the proper size and type for your machine.
●
Do not use wheels that are old and/or excessively worn.
●
Do not operate the finishing wheel in a reverse rotation. The spindle must rotate CCW when viewed
from the right side (opposite of the motor).
●
Do not exceed the maximum recommended wheel speed (see the manufacturer's instructions), or the
1725 RPM spindle speed for which your Model 1051 is designed to operate, whichever is less.
●
Do not use your Model 1051 with the factory-supplied guards removed, or with the wheel guard
door open.
●
Note that the 1051 machine can accommodate finishing wheels to 3.25 inches in width but
never larger than 10 inches in diameter. When mounting a wheel on the machine adjust the
position of the wheel in respect to the angle steel work support.
Prior to operating the Model 1051 please take time to do the following
:
1.
Ensure that you have received all of the items that you ordered. Compare the packing slip with your
purchase order, and of course with the physical items received.
2.
Verify that there is no obvious shipping damage. If shipping damage is discovered notify the freight
carrier of your intention to file a freight damage claim; they will assist you.
3.
Verify that the AC power that is identified on the machine matches the AC power that you intend to
operate the machine. Do not modify the Model 1051 wiring or other electrical controls without the
advice of the factory or a competent electrician.
4.
Do not modify or defeat any AC wiring safety feature. In example, do not remove the grounding pin on
the AC plug.
5.
Read the Operator, and Operating Area Safety Instructions carefully. Ensure that all persons who will
operate the Model 1051, or who will work in the vicinity of the Model 1051 read, understand, and
comply with these instructions.
6.
Ensure that the Model 1051 is located in an area that provides safe access to the machine such that
operators have clear and unobstructed working space. The workplace should be free from floor
obstructions, trip points, and other faults that may reduce operator safety.
7.
Ensure that the Model 1051 AC power source is properly sized for wire, and properly fused. All wiring,
circuit breakers, fuses, and connections must conform to national electrical and local codes.
