1.8 Handling
Customers, users and operators of the
machines must be aware of the nature of the
equipment supplied.
Although inherently robust, the machine is a

precision tool and may be damaged by poor
handling, tipping and falling, inadequate
transport arrangements over e.g. rough terrain,
misuse by operators and use outside its design
specification.
Such poor handling may result in either broken

or damaged parts or disturbance to fine
settings resulting in an inability to meet the
specified machining tolerances and
capabilities.

3.0 INTRODUCTION
3.1 General Description
The NB Series Clamshells are portable pipe
lathes designed to simultaneously sever and
bevel in-line pipe, plus form machine cut any
angle bevel as they cut. The frame is split for
easy installation on in-line pipe. The tool bits
automatically feed into the work piece with
each rotation of the lathe to assure smooth
precise finish.

of bevel or counter bore are made to order. The drive assembly is mounted to the housing
and arranged with a pinion gear on a shaft.
The motor and mounting bracket is designed
to accept the reaction torque generated by the
drive motor.

4.4 Bearing
The cutting head assembly runs on precision
bearings mounted in the housing. The
bearings are designed to provide for the axial
and radial forces created during cutting
operations.
4.5 Slide Assembly

The slide assembly has a tool block, which is
designed to hold the cutting tool (tool bit). The
slide assembly also has adjustable gibs and a
feed screw assembly, which is used to feed
the tool bit into the work piece. The slide
assemblies are bolted to the face of the
Clamshell assembly and can be adjusted in ½”
increments.
4.6 Tripper Assembly

The tripper assembly is designed to hold the
tripper pin. The tripper pin is used to turn the

6.1.2 Positioning the Tool block slide

Note -There are two styles of slides. 2. Reposition the slide base, reinstall the
screws, tool block and feed screw bracket.
Clamshells that are manufactured after
12/31/2013 are supplied with the Quick Slide,
which makes for fast setup and adjustment
(see Figure 4a).
Clamshells manufactured prior to the above

date were supplied with the slides shown in
figure 4b.
Make sure the slide assemblies are positioned

so they clear the work piece but are as close
to the OD as possible (see Fig. 5a & 5b).
6.1.3 Setup for Quick Slide (5a)

1. The slides can be moved by loosening the Figure 5b
4 clamp screws (3/8”-16 SHCS). The slide (Old slide design)
can be repositioned in ½” increments as
marked on the side of the slide assembly.
2. Re-tighten the screw once the slide is in 6.1.5 Positioning the Tripper pin
the desired location. Note – there are two different styles of
tripper assemblies. The new flip style and
an older sliding version. The following
instructions will cover both setups.
6.1.6 Setup for Flip Style Tripper

1. Remove the lock pin and rotate the gear
until the star wheel on the slide is over the
Tripper assembly (see Fig. 6).
2. Loosen the set screw that clamps the

tripper slide to the hex shaft and loosen
the two button head screws.
Figure 5a
(New Quick Slide design)
6.1.4 Setup of old style slide (5b)

1. The slides can be moved by removing the
feed screw bracket, tool block, and 12
socket head cap screws (1/4”-20).

6.1.7 Setup for Old tripper style

Remove the lock pin. Push the handle of the
tripper pin assembly in so the tripper pin is in
the “engaged” position. If the tripper pin does
not line up with the star wheel, reposition the
handle. After the tripper pin height is set,
check the tripper pin length (see Fig. 7). The
end of the tripper pin should be spaced .030”
away from the cavity between 2 of the points
of the star wheel. Lift the handle to disengage
the tripper pin and reinsert the lock pin.
Figure 6
(New flip tripper style)
3. Position the tripper pin so that the pin

makes full contact with width of the star
wheel and is .030” away from the root
diameter of the star.

4. Tighten the set screw and two button Hd.

Screws to secure the tripper pin in
position.
5. Rotate the gear back and forth over the

pin to verify the star wheel indexes
properly.

4. Rotate the gear so the indicator is
positioned over another locator (locator 3)
and set the dial to zero. Slowly rotate the
gear 180 degrees to another locator
(locator 4) and take an indicator reading.

If the reading is not zero, adjust the

locators until the indicator reads one-half
of the original reading. Reset the indicator
dial to zero and repeat. The first two
locators may need to be slightly loosened
in order to zero the Clamshell to the work
piece.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all of the other

locators. Most thin wall pipes are out of
round; therefore a zero reading all the way
around may not be possible.
7.3 Setting Tool Bits

1. Prior to installation of tool bits, determine
which tool bits must be used for your
specific machining operation.
NOTE: The Clamshell cuts in a clockwise

direction, when viewed at its face. There
are right hand and left hand bevel and
sever bits, right hand bits bevel on the Figure 10
side which the Clamshell is mounted, left
hand bits bevel on the opposite side.
NOTE: Always cut with the sever bit
2. Using the star wheel wrench, back the tool leading the bevel bit by 1/32” in depth of
blocks away from the pipe, to allow cut.

completely through the pipe without 7.4 Motor Installation

NOTE: If the motor does not engage, the machine rotate a few times to clear the
check to make sure the two gears are tool bit. Turn off the power to stop

gouging.
2. Engage the feed pin by pushing down on

the tripper handle, after machine has been
started. Each rotation will advance the
tool bits approx. .003 with the tripper pin
engaged. Use the tripper pin to advance
the feed of the tool bits until both of the
tool bits are cutting. If chatter or vibration
occurs, reduce cutting RPM. If the tool
bits chip or become dull, replace them
immediately with sharp bits. Use coolant
during the cutting operation to reduce
friction on the cutting edge.
