Model 204B BEVELMASTER™ Speed Control Variable Speed Trigger Mounting Manually actuated draw rod expands mandrel ramps and jaw blocks. Feed Manual-Feed Handle is in line at the back of the machine. Feed rate is .100” (2.5mm) per revolution of the feed handle. Maximum available feed travel is 1.50” (38.1 mm) 92-0699 Rev.
Verify that there is adequate grease in the gear box. Gears and bearings are to be lubricated using a lithium based grease. Disassembly of a power unit voids warranty, except when performed by a TRI TOOL INC. designated repair technician. A letter of designation is required.
Page 21
Model 204B BEVELMASTER™ Grease Port Air Motor Lubrication No direct maintenance is normally required on the air motor. However, the air supply must flow through a filter/regulator/lubricator (FRL) unit or separate units before arriving at the air motor. The FRL unit must be maintained as required, frequency dependent on the basic air supply, to keep the water trap drained, filter cleaned and the lubricator oil reservoir filled so that a drop of oil every two (2) to five (5) seconds is flowing.
TRI TOOL INC. 6. OPERATION General Comments Read the operating instructions carefully before attempting to operate the Model 204B BEVELMASTER™ Use eye protection at all times when operating the Model 204B BEVELMASTER™ Installation Select the recommended jaw blocks for the pipe size to be machined.
Page 23
Model 204B BEVELMASTER™ Final Prep Draw Nut SUREFIRE Location Pads Pipe Mandrel Assembly Figure 4: Tool installation NOTE: In order to avoid cutting the ramps and/or jaw blocks during the machining operation, the mandrel must be installed beyond the final preparation location. Tighten the draw nut to force the jaw blocks out to the inside diameter of the pipe or tube.
Page 24
WARNING: Use of dull or improperly designed tool bits or tool bits not manufactured by Tri Tool Inc. may result in poor performance and may constitute abuse of the ma- chine and therefore voids the Tri Tool Inc. factory warranty.
Model 204B BEVELMASTER™ 7. MACHINING OPERATION Tool Bit Cutting Edge Set Screws Rotation Depress the air motor trigger. Adjust the cutting speed by rotating the flow valve at the air connection. Rotate the feed handle clockwise to bring the tool bit(s) and pipe closer together. WARNING: Do not override the dead-man switch on this unit. Locking down, obstruct- ing, or in any way defeating the dead-man switch on this unit may result in serious injury.
Page 26
TRI TOOL INC. When the pipe end is not square to the pipe axis, the Tool Bit will contact only a small segment of the pipe during each revolution. To avoid tool bit damage, the feed rate should be very slow until the tool bit(s) is in contact with the pipe continually during at least one full revolution.
Model 204B BEVELMASTER™ 8. CUTTING SPEEDS AND FEEDS Use 200 surface inches per minute (5080 surface millimeters per minute) for: Stainless steels in general when no coolant is allowed, all heavy-wall tube and some chrome/molybdenum steels. Use 250 surface inches per minute (6350 surface millimeters per minute) for: Mild steels and some thin-wall stainless steels when coolants are permitted and applied.
