Cutting a tube
The machine has a tube cutter which can cut both carbon steel and stainless steel tubes with
diameters varying from 1/4” to 2”.
Cutter wheels available:
Wheel for tubes in carbon steel: part no. 162470
(tubes defined by standards EN 10208-2, EN 10216-1, EN 10217-1 and EN 10255 ; see the
description of these standards on page 11)
Wheel for tubes in stainless steel: part no. 162471 (tubes defined by standards EN ISO 1127,
EN 10216-5, EN 10217-7; see page 11)
Raise the die head and move the reamer away.
Open the tube cutter relative to the tube diameter.
Position the tube and tighten both chucks.
Start the machine.
Lower the tube cutter and tighten it by turning its wheel to the right until the cutter wheel enters
the tube:
Turn the tube cutter wheel evenly to the right until the end of the cutting operation. (The wheel
must be turned about a quarter of a turn per revolution of the tube).
Important:
Turning the wheel too quickly can cause the tube end to become distorted.
Beware
of the cut end of the tube falling if the tube protrudes over the front of the
machine. Wear protective shoes.
Stop the motor once the cutting operation is completed.
