Special Instructions
*
When facing tubing with a cutting insert in pocket
3 or 4, it is recommended that a cutting insert be
installed in the adjacent pocket.
EXAMPLE: When
facing 2 in. O.D. tubing with a cutting insert in
Pocket 4, a cutting insert should be installed in
Pocket 2.
The secondary cutting insert blocks the
opening and helps prevent any chips from entering
the I.D. of the tube. The secondary insert can be a
used cutting insert.
Do not use the facing tool with cutting inserts
installed in all four pockets, or in the following
combinations: 1 and 2; 2 and 3; 3 and 4.
