What is the advantage of the T-handle screw clamp?
The T-handle screw clamp provides a secure grip on the tubing, preventing it from moving during the flaring process, which is essential for creating precise flares.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or distorted flare
Ensure the tubing is cut square and inserted to the correct depth. Verify the T-handle screw clamp is tight enough to prevent slippage.
Difficulty forming a flare
Confirm you are using the correct die for the tubing material and diameter. Ensure the forming handle is aligned properly and apply steady, even pressure.
Tool is difficult to clamp securely in a vise
Ensure your vise jaws are clean and provide a stable base. Check that the flaring tool's base is flat and compatible with your vise.
Dies do not align correctly
Verify that the correct die is seated properly on the turret and aligned with the tubing holder. Ensure no debris is obstructing the die seating.
