STEP ‘E’ - TEST CUT AND MEASUREMENT OF THE BEVEL
1. Make a test cut to have a bevel
sample to evaluate and measure
from. Stop the pipe facing machine
and retract the headstock all the way.
2. If a mismatch step is seen on the
bevel all around the pipe, measure
the height of the step with a depth
micrometer.
3. Observe the blend of the radius to the
bevel and evaluate if the inner bevel
tool holder
needs adjustment.
If the blend is good,
adjust the outer bevel
tool holder to match
the above measurement
according to
step 'C'.
4. If the blend of the
radius to the bevel is
not perfect, measure
the amount and adjust
the inner tool holder
according to step 'B'.
5. Make a second test
cut and retract the
headstock.
6. Observe and evaluate the quality of
the bevel, if additional adjustment
is required, follow the above
instructions accordingly.
