Operating Instructions
  •   Mount the Micro Bore Unit properly in the finish boring tool supplied by Renuka Tools. This can be easily done by simply tightening the mounting screws in a proper manner (Pic1).In case the tool is of any other brand ensure that the manufacturer adheres to the mounting instructions provided by Renuka Tools. Else, it might result in non-efficient working or even tool failure.
  •   Set the required diameter before clamping the tool onthe machine, ideally on a tool pre-setter, or else with the help of a precise dial indicator (Pic2). During this setting, ensure that any one scale marking on the MBU inner scale coincides exactly with the extreme end marking on the outer vernier scale. This will automatically match some other inner scale marking with the other extreme end of the outer vernier scale (Pic3). This will help the user to quickly adjust after initial trial of tool..
  •   See if the desired results obtained by running the tool on the machine. In case of any deviation in the desired results, kindly use the spanner for adjustment. For increasing the diameter, rotate in clockwise direction and for decreasing, rotate in counter-clockwise direction. The least count of the inner MBU scale is 20microns on diameter (i.e. 10 microns radially). Now use the vernier scale for adjustment. If the diameter reading has to be increased, kindly match the adjacent marking (of left side) with the nearest vernier scale marking. This will result in increase of 2 microns on the diameter (i.e. 1 micron radially) (Pic 3.1 Zoomed). For reduction of diameter, follow the same procedure in the opposite direction (Pic 3.2 Zoomed).
  •   Maximum diameter adjustment can be checked from the rear end of the spanner (Pic4). Do not exceed the maximum limit as it may cause permanent damage to the unit.
Precautionary Measures
  •   Due to constraints in the assembly tolerances, it is recommended that units, if damaged, are returned to Renuka Tools for assessment/repair in a controlled environment. Commercials for repair can only be determined after detailed assessment of the damaged unit.
  •   Renuka Tools Micro Bore Unit cannot be adjusted beyond its range and the maximum range can be checked from the thickness of the end portion of the spanner provided along with the unit. Exceeding the range might result in permanent damage to the unit.
  •   Kindly change the mounting screws and insert screws ahead in time to avoid accidents.
  •   In case of any observed decrease in accuracy over the time of usage, kindly request Renuka Tools for servicing the unit.
