Set the required length of cut. Adjust the depth of the cut using the manual handwheel. Adjust the Feed
Rate and Spindle RPM for the desired finish. Press the Cycle Start button, the spindle will come up to
speed then the left feed will start. When the cutterhead clears the work piece the spindle will lift and the
machine will return to Starting Point.
If a cycle is started with an end of cut position already set, the machine will stop the spindle and left feed
at this position, the spindle will lift and return to the Starting Point.
You can manually move the machine to the end of the work piece and record the length of cut.
Be careful when starting a cycle. The machine will cut to the last
End of Cut set position. If no End of Cut position has been set the
automatic cycle will not start. An End of Cut position must be set after every power up. When the power
is turned off to the machine, the end of cut is reset to zero.
Following is a description of the cutting inserts available from Rottler. The inserts have gone through
extensive performance testing. To take full advantage of the capabilities of your Rottler machine, we
highly recommend Rottler cutting tools be used. Rottler machine performance can be significantly
reduced if qualified tooling is not used. Using an incorrect insert can result in bore geometry
inconsistency, short tool life, and poor surface finish.
Following are general guidelines. When using these inserts it is best to refer to the operator manual of
the particular machine you are using. Rottler Manufacturings latest operator manuals have more detailed
information on feeds and speeds for the particular machine and cutterhead that you are using.
