NOTE:
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Engage the feed by pushing the Tripper Shaft in.
Monitor the cutting operation.
Apply cutting fluid as necessary.
If Chips build up so much that they tangle in the Clamshell, disengage the feed for
2-3 revolutions to clear the chips.
Then stop the Clamshell and remove the chips.
See ‘Severing and single beveling,’ later in this section for specific machining
procedures.
When the machine operation is finished, turn off the Air Motor by closing the Throttle
Control Valve.
In-line tube stores energy.
When the tube is severed, the tube may move.
To prevent accidents due to the spring in the tube system, be sure to secure the
tube on both sides of the sever line in order to prevent differential movement of the
tube ends.
Retract the Tool Holders so that the Tool Bit(s) clear the pipe OD.
The Tool Holders are retracted by rotating the Feed Sprocket clockwise using
the special Spanner Wrench supplied with the Clamshell.
Run the Air Motor until the split-lines of the Headstock and the Housing match.
Loosen the Clamping Pads.
Remove the Clamshell from the tube.
If the Clamshell must be split to remove it, be sure that both halves are properly
supported.
Turn on the Air Motor to full speed by opening the Throttle Control Valve.
The Air Motor working speed will be about one half of the no-load speed.
Refer to the chapter on “Cutting Speeds” for speed selection charts.
