Stud Master
Chamfering Machine

A chamfer is a beveled or angled surface or edge typically created on a workpiece to remove sharp corners or edges and provide a finished look.

Chamfering serves multiple purposes, including:

• Removing sharp edges to enhance safety
• Allowing for easier insertion or assembly of parts
• Improving the aesthetics of the workpiece by adding a chamfered edge
• Facilitating better adhesion or welding in specific applications

The Stud Master has advanced features and functions to facilitate efficient and precise chamfering. Here’s how the Stud Master assists in achieving high-quality chamfers on studs and other workpieces:

• Dedicated Chamfering Tool: The Stud Master incorporates a specialized chamfering tool optimized for chamfering applications. This tool is designed to effectively remove material from the edges of the studs, resulting in clean and well-defined chamfered surfaces.
• Adjustable Chamfer Angle: The machine allows for easy adjustment of the chamfer angle to accommodate different requirements. By pivoting the cutting tool, you can quickly set the chamfer angle to 30° or 45° as needed.
• Diameter Adjustment: The Stud Master provides a diameter adjustment feature that enables you to match the proper chamfering tool diameter with the stud size. This ensures a precise fit and optimal chamfering performance.
• Reliable Spindle Speed Control: With the ability to adjust the spindle speed using the operator controls, you have the flexibility to optimize the cutting speed for different materials and achieve desired chamfering results.
• Precision and Repetition: The Stud Master is engineered to deliver consistent and repeatable chamfers on each stud. Its precise cutting tool adjustments and accurate spindle speed control contribute to uniform chamfer dimensions across multiple workpieces.
• Operator Controls and Interface: The Stud Master features user-friendly operator controls and an intuitive interface that allow for easy adjustments of tool speed, chamfer angles, and other settings. This enhances user convenience and productivity during the chamfering process.

The Stud Master uses a chamfering tool, typically a carbide nitride-coated insert, to cut precise chamfers on the studs. These inserts are designed to last longer and provide high-quality chamfers.

Yes, the Stud Master is designed for chamfering studs of various diameters. It includes collets that match the nominal diameter of the stud being chamfered.

While the Stud Master is primarily designed for chamfering studs, it can also be used to create chamfers on other workpieces made of compatible materials.

Upon receiving the Stud Master, carefully inspect the machine for any loose components and check the pre-set machine parameters. When you’re ready for setup, follow these instructions:

1. Place the machine in a convenient and safe location.
2. Remove the shipping feet and install the cushioned rubber machine feet.
3. Level the machine and lock the leveling screws in place.
4. Allow space for a chip container.
5. Mount the stand-off electric tower as instructed.
6. Ensure proper electrical setup by contacting a certified electrician if needed.

Operating the Stud Master is straightforward. For detailed guidance on using the machine effectively and safely, please refer to the operating manual accompanying your Stud Master. It contains step-by-step instructions, illustrations, and essential safety information to ensure a smooth and successful operation. Familiarizing yourself with the manual will allow you to use Stud Master to its full potential and achieve optimal results.

The Stud Master prioritizes safety and incorporates various features to promote a secure working environment. Here are some guidelines to ensure safety while using the machine:

• Utilize the hinged hood guard provided with the Stud Master. This guard serves to protect against potential hazards in the rotating chuck area.
• Do not attempt to bypass or deactivate any built-in safety device. These safety mechanisms are specifically designed to protect you during operation.
• Before switching materials, ensure the cutting area and chip chute are adequately cleaned. This will help maintain optimal performance and prevent any potential issues caused by debris.
• Before operating the machine, conduct regular inspections to ensure all safety devices function correctly. If you notice any safety devices not working properly, refrain from operating the machine and have it repaired before resuming use.

If you encounter any issues with the Stud Master, you can follow these troubleshooting steps:

• Begin by touching the Diagnostic button on the display screen of the Stud Master. This will allow you to access the diagnostic features for troubleshooting purposes.
• In the diagnostic screen, locate the box where the code should be entered and input the default code, usually 100. After entering the code, press the Enter button to proceed.
• Once you have entered the diagnostic mode, you can access various screens. These screens provide valuable information about the sensor status and allow you to force feed sensors manually to test their functionality.

To ensure optimal performance and safety, follow this recommended maintenance schedule.
