About The Tube Facing Tool
Installing or Relocating The Cutting Insert
Your facing tool has been shipped with a cutting insert in position number 1. If you will be facing
tubing larger than 3/4 in. (18 mm) O.D. you will need to relocate the cutting insert to a different pocket.
Cutting insert life is dependent upon tube material, tube diameter, depth of cut, and operational
technique.
Collet Change and Installation
The tube facing tool cuts a wide range of diameters through the use of tube collets. Two collet halves
per size are required and must be ordered separately.
(See Chart B on page 14)
Motor Settings
The facing tool is driven by a heavy-duty industrial motor. There are three control knobs that must be
set properly to maximize the performance of the facing tool.
Facing The Tube
As you prepare to face your tubing there are some factors to consider. The method used to cut the
tubing may affect the amount of material needed to be removed. The facing tool has been designed to
allow for a random amount of material removal if finished length is not critical. You can also control
the amount of material removed if the finished length is important.
Bench Mount Stand
The bench mount stand does not require any tool to remove or secure the facing tool. The base plate
will accommodate permanent bench mounting.
Spare Parts and Accessories
Spare part and accessories can be ordered as needed through your Swagelok sales representative.
