11. Some applications may require an additional smoothing process For example removing high spots or other irregularities from sidewalks The initial process would utilize pentagonal flails for productivity and service life reasons If the resulting surface finish is too coarse to meet specifications it can be smoothed with the use of the star or beam flails COST 10 PRODUCTIVITY 8 SERVICE LIFE 10 The pentagonal flail should be replaced when two successive tungsten carbide inserts break off or the inside diameter elongates to approximately 3 4 inch In service the flail body will wear much faster than the tungsten carbide inserts The copper brazing used to weld the inserts into the body can fail and an insert break off The flail can still be used in service It will just wear a little faster and more uneven in that particular area As a general rule a pentagonal flail can be utilized until there has been body wear that will no longer support the tungsten carbide inserts Milling Flail The milling flail is manufactured from high carbon alloy steel that is heat treated for additional service life FIGURE 5 Each section of the five sided design features rectangular tungsten carbide insert that is held in position with copper brazing The milling flail is primarily designed for climb milling applications This requires that the Floor Planer be pulled toward the operator when being utilized Removal rates are dependent upon both su

15. a two step process that yields a surface hardness that resists wear and extends service life Drum rod service life is difficult to predict because of the large number of flail configurations and work surface materials Normal wear should be uniform about the rod circumference FIGURE 8 PAGE 18 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS OPERATIONS FIGURE 8 Problems encountered by uneven component wear 1 Inadequate free play exists between the flails spacer washers and the support plates of the flail drum If the flails and spacer washers do not have complete freedom of movement they will not be capable of properly rotating about the flail drum rod The result is rod wear confined to two locations that are usually 180 degrees apart FIGURE 9 Variances in flail and spacer washer thicknesses affects free play when assembled on the drum Because free play is also created during the planing process due to actual flail and spacer washer wear a certain amount of tightness can sometimes be tolerated without affecting the service life of the drum rods or flails The specific amount of tightness can usually be determined through trial and error If the flails and spacer washers appear too tight on the drum remove an appropriate flail or washer and reassemble the drum If a short operational test indicates normal component wear patterns the apparent problem has been solved A general rule for consideration it is better to have the flails and spacer w
