How to use the Micrograd™ Face Dial Wrench
Insert a gage pin of the appropriate diameter. Tighten collet with Micrograd Collet wrench by 2 – 4 graduations to set initial clamping force. For a firm grip on solid workpieces typically a closure of about .08mm (0.003”) is a good starting point. Experience will soon teach the best settings, and they may vary significantly for different applications based on the force required, the rigidity of workpiece, and machining operation being performed.
