“Installation Report” located in the Installation Chapter of this manual. We suggest that the new user(s) of the F9A & F10A read the “Control Definitions” section of the Operations Manual to understand how the F9A & F10A operates.
Parts Manual Description The model F9A & F10A is a precision, single point high-speed boring unit. The F9A & F10A can be equipped with tooling and accessories for re-boring most passenger car and truck engines, both In-line V-blocks. F9A & F10As can be easily tooled for a wide range of engines, including European and Asian engines. The F9A &...

Section 2: Maintenance F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Maintenance Lubrication Refer to the illustration. Below are directions, that explain where and how to add oil to the various lubrication systems. Vertical Ballscrew The vertical ballscrew runs through the upper housing. Run the machine down to its lowest travel position.
Section 2: Maintenance F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Lubrication Illustration OUTER SPINDLE VERTICAL BALLSCREW VERTICAL BALLSCREW BEARINGS Air Adjustments Float The float regulator is located at the rear of the spindle base on the bottom of the interconnect box.
Tilt Locate the Tilt regulator on the right hand side of the rear interconnect box. The Tilt on the F9A/F10A is used to clear the cutting tool from the side of the cylinder when retracting from a bore. If you are not getting adequate tilt for the tool to clear the bore, an adjustment is necessary.
The pressure switch is a solid state device that opens and closes at certain air pressure settings. It should be set on the F9A & F10A to 70 PSI. If the main intake pressure goes below 70 PSI the pressure switch is designed to open and cut power from all drives. This is so the spindle base clamps do not break loose during a bore with the spindle still rotating.
Section 2: Maintenance F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Spindle Maintenance Spindle Sweep The spindle must be swept into the main bed for accurate boring. If you are seeing “shadowing” in the bore the spindle may need to be swept in.
Section 2: Maintenance F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Outer Spindle Adjustment • The main spindle bearings are tapered split cast iron rings, held in a seat by an adjustment nut. • These bearings normally require no adjustment for many boring cycles.
Section 2: Maintenance F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Inner Spindle Adjustment This machine is equipped with bearings at the top and bottom of the Inner Spindle. It is very important to properly adjust the pre-load of these bearings. Setting these bearings either too tight or too loose can greatly reduce bearing life or destroy them all together.
Section 2: Maintenance F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Centering Motor and Housing Belt Adjustment The Centering Motor Housing is located on top of the Upper Housing. The Centering Motor is mounted to the top of this housing. The Centering Motor and Housing can be accessed without taking off the machine shroud, however it is much easier to work on when the shroud is removed.
Thrust Overload The drive that controls the vertical motor on the F9A & F10A machines, will trip out when a vertical stall occurs. This is a condition that happens when the machine is fed or rapid traveled into the top of a work piece.
Section 2: Maintenance 2-11 F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Spindle Overload If the spindle is turning, as in boring or counter-boring, and the tool bit hits an obstruction, the drive that controls the spindle motor will trip out. This can happen if there is an unseen web at the bottom of a bore, or if the machine is extremely off center when a cut is started.
Section 2: Maintenance 2-12 F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Inner Spindle Removal Raise the spindle all the way to the top of its travel. Move the spindle base to the extreme left of its travel. Disconnect all power to the machine before proceeding.
Section 2: Maintenance 2-13 F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Replacing the Motherboard Battery If computer fails to boot up and you get a CMOS error message on the screen, then the battery on the computer motherboard has failed and needs to be replaced.

Section 2: Maintenance 2-18 F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Digital Micrometer setting instructions: Turn the thimble until the ‘0’ line on the thimble lines up with the vertical line nearest the spindle lock ring. Determine which cutter head bore range the micrometer is going to be used on. ( example; 2.9 – 6.0 ) We want to initially set the micrometer to the minimum bore diameter of this cutterhead.
Page 29
Section 2: Maintenance 2-19 F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual To set or edit micrometer: Press and hold the set/on button and the + or – button at the same time. “Set” will flash in the display. This places the micrometer in edit mode. (CAUTION: use a pencil tip or something similar to gently push the small round buttons - they are quite small and a bit delicate.)

Section 2: Maintenance 2-20 F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Loosen the set screw holding the large diameter anvil. Slide the anvil back out of the way. Place the tool holder used to bore the hole into the micrometer frame. Slide the location nub on the back of the tool holder gently up against the end of the digital micrometer shaft.

Section 2: Maintenance 2-22 F9A &F10A Maintenance and Parts Manual Procedure: The short vertical lines that cross the horizontal scale on the micrometer sleeve are reference marks. Set the zero on the micrometer thimble even with the first vertical line and note the size shown in the digital display.
