PERATION
The EP 424 has three tool holders, which can each hold a different tool. This allows you to perform
any combination of facing, beveling, and counterboring simultaneously.
Make sure the EP 424 is set up as follows for form tool operation:
• Use the standard mandrel, if possible for the workpiece.
• Have the single-point slide removed and the rotating tool head installed. (See “Removing the
Single-Point Kit” in the next section.)
• If your EP 424 is equipped with the Speed Prep autofeed module, set the axial feed selector to
0° when doing form tool operations.
NOTE
Setting the feed selector to 0° will reduce wear on the Speed Prep components
when you are not using the autofeed.
Figure 5-36. Set the Speed Prep selector to 0° before doing form tool operations.
