Operating Instructions for SIMDRIVE-SS-NL Drive Ring
Install drive ring to prevent cutter from excessively tightening on the boring bar or
damaging the threads when drilling 1-1/2" and 2" holes through water pipes.
● Select parts to drill desired hole.
● Slide SIMDRIVE-SS-NL Drive Ring to the fully retracted position with the ball plunger
aligned with the boring bar detent/dimple. (NOTE: The ball plunger is factory adjusted for
best fit and operation so operator adjustment is not typically needed.)
● Thread the cutter onto boring bar until seated at base. (NOTE: pilot drill set screw is
accessible while the SIMDRIVE-SS-NL Drive Ring is in the fully retracted position.)
● Rotate the cutter in the opposite (removal) direction only enough to align the drive pins
with the mating holes in the cutter.
● Slide Drive Ring toward the cutter until the ball plunger engages the detent/dimple in the
boring bar.
