INSTALLATION
Pay attention not to damage the diamond tip!
Remove the previous cutting tool (if present).
Fasten the Diamond Cutting Tool in the cutting tool mount and adjust the
height of the tool with shims to ensure there is enough vertical clearance
between the cutting tool and the stand.
When using HUDY comm lathes:
-
for RC car motors
there should be
0.15-0.20mm
clearance
-
for slot car motors
there should be
0.35-0.40mm
clearance
When using the tool
in other lathes
, we recommend
0.00-0.05mm
clearance, unless otherwise specified in the original manufacturer's
instructions.
Be sure that the cutting tool is secure in its mount, and does not vibrate.
Do not overtighten the clamping screws otherwise tool clearance may be
reduced.
For more information about installing the cutting tool and setting proper
clearance, see the documentation accompanying the comm lathe.
ARMATURE CUTTING
The armature should turn so that the comm moves upward where it
contacts the cutting tool. If the armature turns in the opposite direction,
it will break the tip of the cutting tool.
While cutting pay attention to where the tool stops moving along the comm.
Adjust the comm lathe's adjustable stop screw to prevent the cutting tool
from hitting the winding tabs on the armature; this can severely damage the
cutting tool.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the tip of the cutting with a cotton swab after each use.
DO NOT try to clean it with anything hard (example, a screwdriver).
DO NOT try to resharpen the tip of the cutting tool.
