• The adjustable precision 90° vee bearings pre-load and stabilize the rotating
head to provide long life, low maintenance, stability, and precision.
• The Clamshell splits into two halves for mounting on closed loop systems.
• All parts are secured to the two halves, thus avoiding the loss of parts and at
the same time providing maximum ease of handling
• The Clamshell is equipped with jackscrews and adjustable mounting bars for
out-of-round pipe conditions.
• Dual tool blocks with auto-feed sprockets and adjustable slides provide maximum
maintainability, life, and operator safety, with a minimum of operator training.
• The gear reduction, auto-feed sprockets provide .0036” (.09 mm) of radial feed
per revolution of the Headstock for a controlled depth of cut.
• The drive gears and bearing surfaces are covered for operator safety.
• The drive gears and bearing surfaces are sealed to protect from dust and chips.
• For the safety of the operator, the controls are away from the rotating Headstock.
