6.4 THE TEE FORMING PROCESS WITH THE T-DRILL T-65
Since the process may be new to you, we recommend that you read the following
instructions carefully and then practice a few times on some pieces of scrap tubing.
¨
NOTE! Before forming any tee always make sure that the pipe is
completely drained and that it is not under pressure
1. Select the correct T-DRILL head.
2. Check the forming pin span (T). Adjust if necessary. (See chapter 6.2.2).
3. Chuck the T-DRILL head.
4. Lubricate the T-DRILL head before every
tee forming operation! Extend the forming
pins and lubricate them as well as the cutting
edges of the T-DRILL head as illustrated.
Always use T-DRILL lubricant.
5. Retract forming pins. Press the conical
cover towards the tool and rotate it
clockwise to retract the forming pins.
6. Check that the speed selector knob is in position II and the feed mechanism lever in “off”-
position.
