8. When the depth adjustment nut contacts the top of
the groover, allow the pipe to rotate at least two more
full rotations to ensure uniform groove depth.
9. Remove foot from the foot switch.
10. Move the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
11. Retract the groove roll and remove the pipe from the
roll groover.
12. Inspect and measure the groove.
Setting The Groove Diameter For
Copper Tubing
When using the 918 Roll Groover for copper tube, the
groove depth gauge on the groover cannot be used. It
will give incorrect groove diameter.
1. Advance the groove roll just to touch and lightly grip
the tube.
2. Make sure the groove depth gauge is in the grooving
position. (Figure 17B)
3. Turn the adjustment nut until it is flush with the top
plate of the groover.
4. Find the diameter and type of tube to be grooved on
Table B and back the adjusting screw off the top plate
the corresponding number of turns. For example, for
4" Type L copper, back the adjustment screw 1 turn.

5. Go to step 5 of “Setting/Adjusting Groove Diameter”.
Tracking Tips
A typical issue while roll grooving is the pipe “spiraling”
or “walking off” the drive shaft or not “tracking” properly.
For good tracking, it is important that all instructions be
followed. If, even after following all instructions, the pipe
will not properly track, there are other options to improve
tracking.
• Slightly increase the offset of the pipe (increase from
1/2 degree to 1 degree). See Figure 15.
• Tighten the stabilizer crank handle an additional 1/2
turn.
• The operator may need to apply slight force on the
pipe while grooving to maintain tracking. This is
usually only needed on shorter pieces of pipe when
the stabilizer is not used. To do this, the operator
should wear a leather glove in good condition
and cup their hand around the pipe as shown in
Figure 20 to pull the pipe slightly towards them.
This may require that the power drive/thread-
ing machine stand be fixed to the floor to prevent
movement during grooving. To reduce the risk of
crushing and cutting injuries, keep hand away from the
groove roll and the ends of the pipe, do not groove pipe
shorter than recommended and do not reach inside
pipe or touch groove.

in REV direction
If the machine is run in the FOR direction, the
stabilizer cannot be used. Move the stabilizer wheel
away from the pipe. If the stabilizer is used in FOR,
the pipe will spiral out of the groove rolls. If needed,
the operator should wear a leather glove in good
condition and use their right hand to push pipe slightly
away from them as shown in Figure 21.
