INSTALLATION
Make sure that the Model 576AC is disconnected from its power source
before installing a tool bit.
Install a collet into the Model 576AC.
Insert a tube into the collet and bring it flush to the front of the collet and clamp the
tube in place.
Rotate the cam feed knob counter-clockwise with a 3/8” wrench, so that the scribe
mark points to the bottom (this will place the tool holder to the end of the feed).
The cam can only rotate in the direction noted on the knob with an arrow.
Slide a tool bit into the tool slot until the end of the cutting edge of the tool bit passes
the ID of the tube by approximately .020".
DO NOT install the tool bit backwards; it will not cut and may destroy the tool
bit.
Secure the tool bit in place by tightening the (6) six set screws in the tool holder.
Rotate the cam feed knob until the tool holder returns to top of its travel.
Screw in the feed limit adjustment screw until the end of the cutting edge of the tool
bit just clears the OD of the tube.
Rotate the cam feed knob counter-clockwise to pick up the feed slack.
Loosen the collet and re-position the tube to sever.
To adjust the feed rate, loosen feed lock screw, rotate the feed adjustment screw
and read the feed rate graduations to find the desired feed rate.
Some experimentation should be made to maximize the efficiency and tool bit life.
A feed rate of .002” to .003” (.05 mm to .08 mm) will accommodate most tube
materials.
