USE AND MAINTENANCE

Motorized Slotter

Y-AXIS ADJUSTMENT SCREW

This is used to correct any symmetry errors between the hole and the piece currently being processed. After unscrewing the tool clamping 

screws, turn the Y-axis adjustment pin either clockwise or counterclockwise. This will allow you to move the tool along the Y-axis. The 

adjustment range is +/- 0.5, which is extensive enough to correct all of the symmetry errors on lathes without a Y-axis.

LONGITUDINAL CUTTING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT SCREW

This screw is used to correct any errors in longitudinal angles. By turning it clockwise or counterclockwise the cutting angle can be 

adjusted.

EXTERNAL GREASE FITTINGS

These two grease fittings are built into the external structure of the motorized slotter and are used to grease after about 10 hours of use, 

meaning the effective operating time of the tool (see example of calculation for greasing).

COOLANT FITTING HOLE FOR COOLANT SUPPLY

All of the tools feature holes for the supply of coolant. The internal supply is recommended more than the external supply and allows the 

lubricant to be directed to the cutting area.
