In this portion of the video we are going to show you how to use the 141 via the 848 Drive Shaft.
What we're gonna do here is we're gonna mount the pipe as you see over my left shoulder
to the tri-stand and then we're gonna mount the 141 to the pipe and by way of the 848
Drive Shaft and the 300 Power Drive we are going to turn the 141 Geared Threader to create the thread.
Everything I'm showing you here also applies to the 161 as well.
So when you're using it in this fashion you can refer to this video for using it as a 161 gear threader as well.
Be sure than your tri-stand and your 300 Power Drive are secured so that you can avoid tipping at that point.
You don't want the machine to tip over and you don't want the tri-stand to tip over as well.
So be sure that you have everything secured.
At this point, we are going to set this up and we're gonna do 4" pipe.
So right here by way of the cam plate, you pull these two knobs out and we're gonna index this to the 4" side of it as well.
Right here in the back side, we're gonna make sure that our work holder is completely in
the open position and the clamp screw is backed out to where its not impeding in the actuation of the jaw itself.
So we'll flip this up here and then the next video we're gonna show you how to mount this to the pipe.
In this portion of the video we are going to show you how to mount the 141 to the pipe
here and we're gonna do a stationary thread using the 848 Drive Bar.
As per the manual, its a two man lift.
So, what we're gonna do is we're gonna grab this by the handle and slide the chucking mechanism onto the pipe first.
And what we're gonna do is we're gonna push back on this to make sure that all of the
throats of the die are engaged on the end of the pipe.
And once that's said and done, I've tightened up my chuck in the back and now I'm going to tighten up my clamp screw.
And there you have it.
In this portion of the video, we're gonna mount to 848 Drive Bar to the 300 and the 141.
So we have our machine turned around here and what we're gonna do is slide this part of it into the centering device.
Make sure it comes out of the chuck in the front.
And then the backside here, the square drive, is going to go right into the square drive of the 141.
And you have two set screws here, 1/4" Allen Wrench.
So make sure you tighten these up.
Okay.
And now we're gonna come to the machine and this has a slide on it.
And what you wanna do is kind of center that there and bring up your centering device.
Emphasis on the flats.
And there you have it.
We're ready to go.
Okay in this portion of the video, we have everything set up already.
And what we've done is we've paid attention to some detail as per the manual.
First and foremost, make sure that you have a clean work area, okay.
As far as setting the Drive Bar up, you know and I'm taking about the 300 and the setup
that we have over here with the 141, the pipe, and the 460 tri-stand.
Make sure that everything is secure, okay.
You don't want the machine tipping over on you.
What we've done as well is before we've installed the Drive Bar, we made sure that the center
line of the 300 is in line with the center line of the pipe.
Not of the die head, not of what appears.
You don't wanna straighten this out so that you're Drive Bar is straight because its gonna rotate around that die head, okay.
So this is actually going to spin and as it spins its going to rotate around the die head.
So you have to make sure that you align the center line of the pipe once again with the center line of your 300, okay.
Once again, make sure everything is secure so that nothing tips over.
And if this is correctly aligned you shouldn't have a problem with it, okay.
Now, there's a lot of things that you need to watch here.
So I can't stress to you enough, safety has to be of the utmost importance.
So make sure that your work area is clear.
Make sure that there's nobody creeping up behind you.
Make sure that you fastened everything if you wanna go over it again.
Also, take note that the 300 is actually turned around and this is as per the manual.
So instead of running it forward, we are actually going to run this in reverse.
So make sure that your switch is in reverse when you're running this, okay.
And it also recommends that you run it from the switch side.
So I have my oiler here.
Make sure we have ample oil flow.
I'm going to bring my foot switch over to about the middle of this and that way I still
have access to get to the switch and I still can tend to things here as need be, okay.
So I'm gonna turn this on now.
My machine is plugged in and here we go.
(Machine Noise)
Okay so now we're at the end of our thread here and what's gonna happen is I'm gonna
throw the machine in forward and what's that gonna do, well what that's gonna do, I'm sorry,
is its gonna run the die head in the opposite direction and what we're trying to do is break the chips off, okay.
So all you have to do is jog this.
And then what I usually do just to make sure I'm not clogging up the dies is I run that in forward a little bit.
And now I will shut my machine off.
Okay, so we've completed our thread and now what's going to happen is we're going to remove the drive shaft.
So my machine is off, and what I'm going to do is loosen the front chuck of the machine
and loosen the centering device.
And I'm not gonna try and pull that out.
I'm just gonna leave that there like that, okay.
What I'm gonna come back over here and do is loosen the square drive socket by way of
the two set screws that we previously showed you.
So you're just undoing what you did previously.
And I'm gonna slide this back off of the square drive and pull out my drive shaft.
And I'll lay this over here.
Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna open up the die head and I'm going to loosen the work
holder on it by backing out the pinch screw and opening the jaws.
And once again, as per the manual, this is a two man operation to take off of here, so
very carefully not to ruin the threads, we will pull that off and set it on the ground.
Thank you.
