DETACHABLE DRIVEPIN SYSTEM
The Spektra Edge features a drive bar system with a detachable DrivePin that allows easy sterilization of the
cartridge- contacting portion of the bar, as well as the ability to interchange the DrivePin to suit a variety of grip
styles.
Out of the Box the machine is assembled with the straight PrecisionPin installed for use with the DarkLab RPG
line of grips as well as other cartridge grips that contain an internal guide. Also included is a PlungerPin that is
compatible with cartridge trips that require a 3mm plunger guide.
The 3mm plunger of the PlungerPin is detachable for conversion into a secondary PrecisionPin if desired.
In order to detach the DrivePin from the machine, hold the base of the drive bar steady and simply twist the base
of the connected DrivePin counter clockwise at the connecting joint until it is fully detached form the base of the
drive bar.
The DrivePin may be autoclaved or cleaned with liquid sterilant products, however it is important to fully dry the
DrivePin immediately after sterilization.
To re-attach a drive bar, hold the end of the drive bar steady and screw the base of the DrivePin onto the male
threading of the connecting joint until it fits securely into place.
USING THE DUALLY COMPATIBLE VISE
The Spektra Edge’s patent pending collet vise system is compatible with both standard backstem (5/16” - 8mm
dia.) and screw-on style adjustable cartridge grips (with a M16x1mm female threading). As assembled in the box
the machine is set up to accept a standard backstem style tube. To insert the tube you will unscrew the outer vise
chuck(2) (enough to loosen the knob but not fully remove it) and gently guide the backstem of the tube over the
drive bar (1) and insert it into the opening, tightening the chuck to secure the tube in place.
In order to use a screw-on style grip you will fully unscrew the vise chuck (2) and remove the chuck and the
floating collet (3) from the machine. You are now able to carefully insert the grip over the exposed drive bar and
attach it to the exposed threads (4).
Store the removed chuck and floating collet in a safe place. To transition the machine back to accept standard
backstems simply reinsert the collet with the narrow end inserted into the vise opening and secure the chuck onto
the male threading. Do not insert the floating collet in the reversed position.
