Damaged or worn Tool Bits are evidenced by increased feed pressure, visual
observations, poor surface finish, etc.
Replace as per "Installation of the Tool Bits" later in this chapter.
If the next flange is different than the previous flange then follow the sequence
earlier in this section starting with “Configure the machine…”
For changing the Tool Bit refer to the paragraph later in this section “Installation of
the Tool Bits”.
POSITIONING OF THE TOOL HOLDER
Turn the Feed Sprocket clockwise to feed the Tool Holder in.
Tool Holder feed travel is from O.D. to I.D.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE TOOL BLOCK
Loosen the hold-down screws on the Adjustable Slide Rail.
Run the Tool Holder to the most outward position.
Using the Adjustment Set Screws, apply a light force to the side of the Adjustable
Slide Rail so that it is in positive contact with the Tool Holder.
Adjust only those screws that bear directly in line with the Tool Holder.
Tighten the Hold Down Screws to about 12 to 24 in-lbs. (1.4 to 2.7 N-m). Finger tight
using a hex key.
Using the 1/4” Drive Ratchet, run the Tool Holder to the inward most position.
Note any changes in the feed pressure.
Some drag from the Slide Rails should be felt, but only a very light torque should be
required to move the Tool Holder.
Adjust the remaining Adjustment Set Screws so that the Tool Holder has a smooth,
even feel.
Run the Tool Holder the full length of the Slide Rail.
Tightly lock the Adjustable Slide Rail in place with the hold-down screws and fully
snug the Adjustment Set Screws.
