Model 208B BEVELMASTER ® 5.3 TOOL BIT INSTALLATION Adjust the counterbore tool bit radially to control counterbore diameter. Adjust the bevel tool bit radially to control the counterbore depth to the bevel relationship. Slide the Model 208B gently onto the mandrel assembly until it comes to a solid stop against the torque acceptance keys.
Page 22
TRI TOOL INC. Rotate the Model 208B as required to engage the torque acceptance keys with the slots in the mandrel shaft. CAUTION: To avoid damaging equipment, do not allow the machine to impact the lead threads of the feed nut with the lead threads of the Mandrel.
Page 23
Model 208B BEVELMASTER ® 5.4 ADJUSTMENT OF THE TORQUE ACCEPTANCE KEYS Adjusting the torque acceptance keys is required if the BEVELMASTER ® loose radially on the mandrel shaft. This may appear as chatter in the tool bit. Loosen the cap screws in both torque acceptance keys. Rotate the set screw as required until the torque acceptance keys are riding snugly in the slots in the mandrel shaft.
