quickly damage tool seals and bearings*.
1,450 psi Face/Axial coolant through tools are equipped with
a switch on the back of the tool that allows the tool to be run dry.
This switch completely disengages the internal coolant seals from
the tool spindle allowing the tool to be run dry without damaging
the tool.

replace the
nozzles with the
nozzle plugs. If

VELOCITY / SU-matic Cutting Tool Installation
A spindle locking wrench must always be used in conjunction
with the collet nut wrench to ensure that the driven tool spindle
is locked when installing cutting tools. Failure to use the spindle
wrench could result in damage to the driven tool bearings and
drive tang, and also to the turret.

2) Push down hard on the torque wrench to make sure the hex
drive is fully engaged in the hex socket. Do not use a ball tipped
hex drive as this may damage the Capto mechanism.
3) If the seal does not snap back when the torque wrench is
removed, wiggle the Capto cutting unit and the seal will snap
back into a closed position. The spring loaded seal must snap
back into a closed position before the tool is run.

VELOCITY / SU-matic Capto Tools
 VELOCITY / SU-matic Capto tools use a Sandvik Capto
clamping unit installed in the "Right" orientation as standard. If
the "Left" orientation is required, the tool holder can be ordered
in advance with "Left" orientation, or the clamping unit can be
easily rotated by using a Sandvik CC-ET-01extracting tool (C4)
and a C4-WDT-02 withdrawal tool. Please contact Velocity for
assistance if clamping unit rotation is required.
