FOR DRILL PRESS MOUNTING
1.
If mounting the unit in a drill press, be sure that the base
is square to the main body, the foot is securely attached
to the drill press table and the shaft is centered under the
chuck (Fig. C). Place the tri-fl at section of the shaft in the
chuck making sure the chuck points are in contact with
the shaft fl ats.
2.
Without turning on the drill press, check the down and
up travel of the drill press spindle checking for binding
or friction in the Tubing Notcher as this can cause severe
damage and personal injury. If binding is observed,
re-adjust as necessary.
FOR BENCHTOP AND
HAND DRILL USE
1.
If using a hand drill, be sure the base of the Eastwood
Tubing Notcher is securely mounted to a stable work
surface or clamped tightly in a solidly mounted vice of
substantial size.
CUTTING/NOTCHING TUBING
1.
Determine the angle of the notch or “fi shmouth” to be cut
in the tubing, loosen the three lock bolts slightly and adjust
the Tubing Clamp to the desired angle using the gauge
and tighten the three lock bolts securely (Fig, D).
2.
Place the tubing into the “V” notch with the curved
portion of the Clamping Hoop and tighten down with the
“T” handle. (Fig E). Note: Always make your “fi shmouth” at
the end of a pre-cut section of tubing, never in the middle
of a longer piece keeping the cut line from going beyond
the centerline of the hole saw (Fig. F).
3.
The Arbor Carrier is mounted in the Main Body with 2 bolts
and 3 slots (Fig. G). This is to provide adjustment for the
location of the hole saw based on the angle of the Tubing
Clamp. It is important to keep the hole saw cutting edge
as close to the work as possible: For extreme angles and
larger tubing, the Arbor Carrier will need to be adjusted
outward, conversely, for cuts closer to and including 90°
as well as for smaller diameter tubing, adjust the Arbor Car-
rier inward. This is done to increase accuracy and
decrease vibration.
