535 Manual Chuck/535 Auto Chuck Threading Machines

Cutting with No. 820 Cutter

1. Open cutter by turning the feed screw counterclock-

wise. Lower the cutter into cutting position. Align the
cutter wheel with the mark on pipe. Cutting threaded
or damaged sections of pipe can damage the cutter
wheel.

Length Gauge Use – Place cutting wheel blade against
the end of pipe and set length gauge pointer to “0”

(Figure  20A)

.  Raise  cutter  and  turn  carriage  hand-

wheel until the pointer is at the length desired. Lower
the cutter into cutting position. 

See Figure 20B

.

Pointer to Zero (0)

Figure 20B – Length Gauge Pointer At Desired Length

2. Tighten the cutter feed screw handle to bring the cut-

ter wheel firmly in contact with the pipe while keeping
the cutter wheel aligned with the mark on pipe.

3. Move the REV/OFF/FOR Switch to the FOR position.

4. With both hands, grasp the pipe cutter feed handle.

5. Depress the foot switch.

6. Tighten the feed screw handle one-half turn per rota-

tion of the pipe until the pipe is cut. More aggressive
tightening of the handle reduces cutter wheel life and
increases  burr  formation.  Do  not  support  the  pipe

by hand. Let the cut off piece be supported by the
threading machine carriage and pipe stand.

7. Remove foot from the foot switch.

8  Move the REV/OFF/FOR Switch to the OFF position.

9. Raise the cutter into position up away from the oper-

ator.

Reaming with No. 341 Reamer

1. Move the reamer into reaming position. Make sure

that it is securely positioned to prevent it from moving
during use.

2. Extend  reamer  by  releasing  latch  and  sliding  the

reamer towards pipe until the latch engages.

3. Move the REV/OFF/FOR (2/0/1) Switch to the FOR

(1) position.

4. With both hands, grasp the carriage handwheel.

5. Depress the foot switch.
