SDB 412/2 SMALL DIAMETER BEVELER
CAUTION: Disconnect the air supply whenever
changing the form tools.
CAUTION: Be certain the there is adequate clear
ance between the mandrel legs and
the tooling
13. Start machine and turn feed nut in until the
cutting tool contacts the pipe. Continue facing
until pipe has a clean finish. Retract bevel head
and insert the O.D. beveling tool
14. Feed beveling head into the pipe until the facing
tool bit touches again. Adjust the O.D. beveling
tool in or out radially depending upon the land
thickness desired.
15. The last tool bit to install is the l.D. deburring
tool. It should be placed into the slot opposite
the beveling tool. This tool may also require
some adjustment.
NOTE: If only two tools are to be used, place them
in opposite slots to offset cutting load.
16. Once the cutting bits are in place, the machine
can be moved from one pipe to another of the
same size without resitting the tool bits.
Tips For Good Finish
1. Always place mandrel as close to pipe end as
possible.
2. Use a cutting oil or coolant generously. This will
also increase cutter life.
3. Adjust cutting head RPM for material. A good rule
of thumb is the harder the material, the slower the
speed.
4. Always keep a lot of pressure on the feed nut and
pull out of cut quickly when prep is finished.
