TRI TOOL INC. TOOL CARE Maintain tools with care. Keep tools in good operating condition. Sharp tool bits perform better and safer than dull tool bits. Well maintained tools function properly when needed. Check for damaged parts. If a tool has malfunctioned, been dropped or hit, it must be checked for damage.
Page 5
Model BOILERMASTER™ Disconnect power supply during setup and maintenance. Use all ‘Stop’ or Shut off’ features available when changing or adjusting tool bits, maintaining the tool, or when the tool is not in use. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before applying power to the equipment.
The various interchangeable Jaw Blocks and Ramps will secure the BOILERMASTER™ to pipe and tubing having an inside diameter ranging from 1.25” (31.8 mm) through 4.33” (110.0 mm). The expanding mandrel provides fast, accurate self-centering and alignment to the pipe or tubing to be machined.
Wall Thickness Capacity Wall thickness of all standard pipe schedules (.531” [13.5 mm] maximum) in the range listed. Contact TRI TOOL INC. for heavier wall procedures. Counterboring Operations The machine will counterbore pipe and tubing with an ID range of 1.50” (38.1 mm) to 4.33”...

TRI TOOL INC. Envelope Drawing MATERIAL CUTTING CAPABILITIES Mild steels, chrome steels (Rc 35 maximum), stainless steel, copper-nickel and aluminum without limitations except size and wall thickness as specified under the 'Pipe Cutting Capacities' paragraph. Inconel and some other high temperature alloys may require special procedures as a function of wall thickness and type of end preparation.

Use a clean, non-detergent oil, preferably SAE 10 (90 SSU) or lighter or oil as specified for the air motor. Air Supply for the BOILERMASTER™ with an air motor requires an adequate filter/ regulator/lubricator (FRL) to be used. A maximum of 90 PSI (621 kPa) line pressure is recommended.
Page 11
2 to 5 seconds is flowing. If the BOILERMASTER™ is to be left idle for 24 hours or more after being run on ‘wet’ air, it is advisable to squirt oil directly into the air motor inlet and run the motor for 2 to 3 seconds.
Page 12
The air motor requires a Class 2 lubricant, viscosity of 100 to 200 SSU at 100° F (38° C) minimum aniline point of 200° F (93° C). TRI TOOL Inc. – Air Tool Lubricant (P/N 68-0022) AMOCO – American Industrial Oil No. 32 Atlantic Richfield –...
PREPARING THE BOILERMASTER™ Select the recommended jaw blocks for the pipe size to be machined. Gently slide the mandrel assembly into the BOILERMASTER™ until it comes to a stop against the torque acceptance key. Rotate the mandrel assembly as required to engage the torque acceptance key of the BOILERMASTER™...
Page 14
TRI TOOL INC. The BOILERMASTER™ with the mandrel assembly installed may be mounted into the pipe or tube as one unit. In order to avoid cutting the ramps and/or jaw blocks during the machining NOTE: operation, the mandrel must be installed beyond the final end preparation location.
Page 15
Use of dull or improperly designed tool bits or tool bits not manufactured by WARNING: TRI TOOL INC. may result in poor performance and may constitute abuse of this machine and therefore voids the TRI TOOL INC. factory warranty. When performing any multiple machining operation such as facing and beveling, the facing tool bit should be installed as shown above.
Page 16
TRI TOOL INC. Depress the air motor trigger. Adjust the cutting speed by rotating the flow valve at the air connection. Reference the 'Cutting Speeds and Feeds' later in this manual. Rotate the feed handle clockwise to bring the tool bit(s) and pipe closer together.
Page 17
Rotate the feed handle counterclockwise until the tool bit to pipe clearance is 1/8” (3 mm). Loosen the draw nut on the mandrel to release the mandrel from the pipe. The mandrel assembly may be left in the BOILERMASTER™ and installed as a complete assembly. 92-1173 : Orig. 040921...

Model BOILERMASTER™ Stainless steel which work hardens, must be worked with a haevy enough feed to stay under the work hardened surface, .003 (.08 mm) to .006" (.15 mm) feed. Never allow the Tool Bit to burnish the surface. Reduced feeds and speeds will normally minimize chatter problems.
