Model 300STS Tube Squaring Machine • The tool bit may be reversed. Use the reversed position for tubing with an ID greater than 1.000” (25.4mm). With the extreme shear cutting action, the burr on the ID will be virtually eliminated. Use the Hex wrench to tighten the set screws.
Page 18
TRI TOOL INC. INSTALL A SADDLE IN THE MODEL 300STS Select a saddle for the desired outside diameter of the tubing to be squared. Refer to the section on Saddle Sets. Back the Saddle Clamping Knob out so that it does not protrude into the mounting bore for the saddles.
