• Continue to apply only sufficient pressure to allow the

cutter to cut freely through the work piece.

• Depending on the thickness of the workpiece periodically

raise the cutter to clear the swarf build up prior to continuing the cut.

FIG. 9

WARNING: On completion of the cut the pilot pin will eject

the material slug. This slug will be very hot with sharp edges. Use protective gloves if slug requires handling.

If the slug fails to be ejected from the cutter this could be caused by the slug becoming twisted inside the cutter. To release the slug lower the cutter onto a flat area of the work piece, this will square up the slug and allow it to be ejected.

INSTALLING THE 3 JAW CHUCK

The chuck (part HTA 153) can be fitted onto the BORA2800 machines main drive spindle, and this enables the BORA2800 to take standard twist drills up to ø13mm.

WARNING: Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains power supply when installing the 3 jaw chuck.

Note: The arbor of the BORA2800 Drilling System is machined to perfectly match the main drive spindle of the machine. Both parts are numbered with a unique code.

• Use a spanner (not supplied) to unscrew the arbor.

• Remove the arbor support bracket by removing the 4 x M5

socket headed bolts. (Fig. 8)

• Remove the coolant tank.

• Screw the chuck onto the main drive spindle. (Fig. 9)
