Setup and Operation
Setup and Operation
A Fast Six-Step Process
Insert a properly
ground tool bit into
the tool hole in the
bar, adjust for
depth of cut, and lock in
place with the set screw.
Connect to power source.
Elapsed time: 5 minutes.
And there you are... ready
to begin the first boring
pass.
Total elapsed time: 31
minutes.
The axial feed unit
is slipped onto the
bar and the
leadscrew is screwed
into the pocket on the
rotational drive unit.
Tightening two clamping
collars locks the axial feed
unit to the bar.
Elapsed time: 3 minutes.
Slide the rotational
drive onto the bar.
Firmly push it onto
the spherical mount,
and lock it in place with
one bolt. Tighten the rear
clamping collar enough to
be snug but so the bar
can slide through it.
Elapsed time: 4 minutes.
Remove the set-up
cones and replace
the bar. The set-up
cones will
adequately center the bar,
unless you have very
precise tolerances, or need
to move the centerline of
the bore slightly. Final
centering adjustments are
made with the jacking
screws.
Elapsed time: 5 minutes.
Slide on spherical
mounts with tack
weld plates, and
tack weld them to
the workpiece. These
mounts have spherical
bearings so they can be
mounted up to 5° out of
perpendicular alignment.
Elapsed time: 10 minutes.
Slide the bar
through the two
holes to be bored
and roughly center it with
the set-up cones. The set-
up cones are forced into
the bore with the clamp
ring jacking screw and
locked onto the bar with a
set screw.
Elapsed time: 4 minutes.

Setup of the BB5000 Portable Boring Machine is quick
and easy. An experienced operator can set up the
machine in most typical two-bore line boring
applications in about half an hour (depending on
alignment tolerances). The three main ingredients of the
quick setup system are:
• Setup cones to roughly center the bar in the bore.
• Spherical mounts that can be quickly tack-welded in place.
• Quick-mount rotational drive unit, attaches to spherical mount in
seconds
