procedure in reverse.
CAUTION:
•
Use the correct size collet cone for the wheel point
which you intend to use.
OPERATION

Turn the tool on without the wheel point making any
contact with the workpiece and wait until the wheel point
attains full speed. Then apply the wheel point to the
workpiece gently. To obtain a good finish, move the tool
in the leftward direction slowly.

pressure on the tool will only cause a poor finish
and overloading of the motor.
