in.).

Storage methods for diameter-3.175 mm cutters
When you want to perform repeated use while keeping the amount of extension of the cutter tip constant, then once
you’ve decided on the amount of extension, we recommend removing the cutter holder and cutter from the spindle unit
without separating them from one another. Storing the assembly without changing the position of the cutter holder elimi-
nates the need to determine the amount of cutter extension each time with every use.
Note, however, that this method cannot be used with the included diameter-4.36 millimeter solid collet.
Remove the entire cutter-holder assembly from the spindle unit.
Store without changing the position
of the cutter holder.
