1.2.2 Surfacing arm assembly and toolpost
The surfacing arm assembly is mounted on the drive hub assembly and provides a
rigid support to which the toolpost is secured. The arm can be positioned at any
diameter within the recommended facing range
Toolpost feed in and out is provided by a lead screw which is driven by the gearbox
output gear. The Surfacing arm assembly can achieve cuts to a maximum depth of
1mm (0.040”) when machining flanges without bolt holes and 0.5mm (0.020”) when
machining flanges with bolt holes.
Alternative tools can be fitted to the tool post depending on the finish and cut
required. For further information on cutting tools and surface finish refer to
Appendices A and B.
