7.1.2 Inspecting the pusher collet and revolving tip
Check that revolving tip (A) rotates smoothly and does
not have excessive run out. If any problems detected the
tip should be replaced.
Check that pusher collet (B) has the correct tension. The
collet should press on a bar with some pressure
required. The collet should be able to retain a proper
length remnant. Inspect for cracks of pieces of material
missing. Replace as required.
