3.3.1 Bar and mounting bracket assembly
To roughly align a CLIMAX boring
bar in a workpiece, use centering
cones. These cones approximately
center the bar until bearing supports
and brackets are secured with clamps
or welds, as appropriate. Cone sets are
in two sizes, cover a wide range, and
are offered as optional equipment
with the BB4500-BB5000.
The goal is to support the boring bar in place until clamping or welds on tack
plates are completed. Then remove the cones and make precise adjustments to cen-
ter the bar.
Setup cones (optional equipment)
Do the following to install the setup cones:
1. Clean the bore and the boring bar to remove grease, oil, and dirt.
2. Carefully slide the boring
bar through the holes to be
bored (see Figure 3-2).
To avoid bodily injury or bar
damage and to ease setup,
lift heavy loads (bars over
72” [1,829 mm]) using a
sling.
