Coning
• Place appropriate size coning tool in vise so that lubricant can flow to
cutting blades (4).
• Set feed nut (3) location as shown in dimension A.
• Slide tubing through collet (5) until end contacts cutting blades (4) and
tighten gland nut (7) just enough to slightly grip tubing.
• Turn feed nut (3) counterclockwise to back cutters away from tubing, and
tighten gland nut (7) with wrench.
• Apply cutting oil through coning tool opening. A medium weight cutting oil
having high sulfur content is recommended. Use cutting oil freely
throughout the cutting operation.
• Turn feed nut (3) clockwise until cutting blades (4) contact end of tubing.
• Rotate cutter handle (1) in clockwise direction while simultaneously turning
the feed nut (3) in a clockwise direction at a rate to assure that the cutting
blades (4) are taking a light cut at all times.
• Continue rotating cutter handle until feed nut bottoms on housing (6), then
rotate cutter handle several more revolutions to face-off end of cone.
• Unscrew feed nut (3), and remove the blade spindle (2) from the coning tool.
Loosen the collet, slide the tubing (8) into the housing (6) until it extends
approximately 100mm (4 inches) then retighten collet.
