5.11 Rotating Tip
Warning the rotating tip should match the diameter of the pusher.
Running too small or too large of a rotating tip diameter will cause damage.
The rotating tip used in the Patriot is designed for many hours of operation. A few different tips
sizes and collet attaching methods are available. The Patriot comes standard with 3 collet screw
on tip adapters. An adaptor with a pin securement is available from Edge Technologies as well.
Refer to parts section for part numbers and available sizes. The rotating tip diameter should be
1mm smaller diameter than the guide channel set.
The rotating tip is internally lubricated by the factory and normally does not require additional
lubrication. However the rotating type does require proper oil flow with in the channel. This helps
to cool the rotating tip and provide lubrication between the channel and tip. Some users operate
the bar feeder with lathe cutting fluid or an aqueous based fluid. Edge does not recommend
using anything but what is recommended in this manual for oil type. Rotating tip operating life
may be significantly reduced without the proper bar feeder oil.
