5.2.8 Setting up the tool - facing and grooving
As the TEAM
®
flange facing machine is portable and thus lighter and less rigid
than its workshop counterpart, the choice of tooling and the rate at which metal can
be removed will differ from that used in a workshop.
The following procedure is for setting up the tool for facing full and raised face
flanges and grooving:
1. Observe all Warnings and Cautions; refer to Sections 3 and 5.1.
2. Using the standard toolpost (see Fig. 19) select the appropriate tool for the job
(see Appendix A).
3. Install the tool in one of the two positions on the toolpost. Tool feed is achieved
via the toolpost feed knob.
4. With the tool in position check that there are no obstructions to the tool.
Determine the point at which the tool touches the flange, this is achieved by
slowly rotating the machine, and advancing the tool by turning the toolpost feed
knob until it just touches the surface of the flange. Traverse the tool to an edge
and stop the machine.
