ble, and in good condition. Refer to “Safety Labels” later in this chapter for label locations on
the machine. Replace any damaged or missing safety labels; see the inside back cover of this
manual or the DynaPrep MDSF Maintenance Manual for ordering information.
• KEEP CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS. Keep hands, arms, and fingers clear of all rotating or moving
parts. Always turn the machine off and disconnect the power source before doing any adjust-
ments or service.
• SECURE LOOSE CLOTHING AND JEWELRY. Secure or remove loose-fitting clothing and jewelry,
and securely bind long hair, to prevent them from getting caught in moving parts of the
machine.
• FOLLOW SAFE PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING LUBRICANTS. Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and the Material Safety Data Sheets.
Safe Operating Environment
• Do not use this equipment in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Fire or explosion could
result, with the risk of serious injury or death.
• Provide adequate lighting to use the equipment, in accordance with worksite and local regula-
tions.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAR. Keep all clutter and nonessential materials out of the work area. Only
people directly involved with the work being performed should have access to the area.
Operating and Maintenance Safety
• This equipment is to be operated and maintained only by qualified, trained personnel.

• Make sure the equipment is stable when attached to the workpiece for the operation. Ensuring
stability of the installed tool is the responsibility of the operator.
• Make sure the workpiece is supported adequately for installation of the equipment. This
includes supporting any workpiece “fall-off” section when severing the workpiece. Ensuring
support of the workpiece is the responsibility of the operator.
• Tooling on any cutting equipment—including lathe tools, saw blades, milling tools, etc.—may
get very hot. Do not touch tooling until you have made sure it is cool enough to handle.
• Wear gloves when removing or cleaning up chips and cutting debris. Chips can be very sharp

Chapter 2: Safety
Hydraulic Powered Equipment

• Hydraulic components such as hoses, motors, and manifolds will get hot during operation and
may cause burns. Do not touch hydraulic components, except for operator controls, during or
after operating the machine.
• Hydraulic injection injury—A pinhole in a hydraulic hose or fitting can eject fluid with enough
force to pierce skin. Check hoses and fittings regularly for leaks. Do not use bare hands to
check for leaks while the system is pressurized. If you suspect a leak, move a piece of paper
or cardboard at least 6 inches (15 cm) over the suspicious area and watch for fluid spraying on
the surface.
Injection of hydraulic fluid through the skin is a serious injury

WARNING that can result in infection, tissue damage, and possible loss
of limb. Seek medical treatment immediately. First aid is
not sufficient treatment for injection injury.
Pneumatic Powered Equipment

• Air motors may get hot during operation and may cause burns. Do not touch the air motor,

5. Chips—The metal debris from
the cutting process can be very
sharp and very hot. Use care in
cleaning debris from the machine
and cleaning up the work area.
Stop the machine before clearing
chips. Use appropriate gloves
when handling chips.

Chapter 2: Safety
6. Hot surfaces—Air motors and

hydraulic components such as
hoses, manifolds, and motors
can become very hot during
8 operation. Make sure these com-
ponents are not hot before touch-
ing them.
7. Air motor connection—A pres-
6 surized air line can cause seri-
ous injury if it comes loose. Make
sure the air line is secured to the
equipment with a pin or other
appropriate fastener.

Guidelines for Safe Setup, Operation, and Service
Pre-Operation Checklist
Every time you use the DynaPrep MDSF, perform the following checks to make sure it is in good
operating condition:
• Check that all safety components are operating properly.

• Inspect it for damage or wear that could affect operation and safe use of the machine. Repair
any defective component before using the machine.
• Make sure the machine is clean and properly lubricated.
• Make sure that tooling is sharp and in good condition. Poor quality tooling can cause difficult
cutting and the possibility of machine malfunction and/or injury.
• Check power connections (pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric) to make sure they are in good
condition.
Operating Safety
• Stop the drive motion to clear chips or make any machine adjustments.
• For parting (cut-off) operations, use a catch device to prevent the cut-off piece of the pipe
from falling.
• Keep air and hydraulic hoses and electrical cords away from moving parts while operating the
machine.
Service Checklist
• Disconnect power from the machine during service. See instructions in the following section.
• Remove accessories such as drive assemblies and tool slides unless they are part of the service
procedure.
Disconnecting Power
The following photos show the means of disconnecting power for the DynaPrep MDSF. Follow
all lock-out/tag-out procedures at your work site.
Before disconnecting the air line, always turn off air at the
WARNING source and bleed all residual air pressure at the air motor.
Disconnecting the air line while under pressure could result
in serious injury.

Chapter 2: Safety
• PNEUMATIC POWER—To disconnect power from the air motor, remove the air line from the air
motor coupling.
Figure 2-5. Disconnect pneumatic

power by removing the air line
from the pneumatic drive.
Hydraulic components such as hoses, motors, and manifolds

WARNING will get hot during operation and may cause burns. Use
appropriate gloves or wait until the components cool before
touching them.
• HYDRAULIC POWER—To disconnect power from the hydraulic motor, remove the hydraulic
hoses from the fittings on the manifold.
Figure 2-6. Disconnect hydraulic

power by removing the hydraulic
hoses from the fittings on the mani-
fold.
Safe Lifting and Handling
• Machines or assemblies over 40 lb (18 kg) must be lifted by two people or a lifting device. See
the machine weight tables in the following section.

DynaPrep MDSF
• It is the responsibility of the end user to determine whether a machine or assembly can be
lifted by two or more people. A lifting device is recommended for machines or assemblies that
cannot be handled easily by two people.
• DynaPrep MDSF models 1218 and larger are equipped with eye bolts in the stationary ring for
lifting.
• Do not rig or lift the machine while power is attached. Whenever possible, remove all acces-
sories (slides, trips, drive assembly, etc.) while lifting and handling the machine.
• Lift the DynaPrep MDSF only at approved lift points, as illustrated in the following figure.
You can wrap a lift-

ing strap around the
ring to lift the
assembled machine.
Do not put the strap
around or against
an accessory com-
ponent.
Use eye bolts

to lift machines
that have them.
Figure 2-7. MDSF models 1218

and larger have eye bolts for lift-
ing. There are 2 eye bolts on each
half of the ring.
When lifting and handling half of a split machine, always

WARNING make sure the alignment pins are inserted. The rotating ring
can fall out of the stationary ring if the pin is not in place.

Chapter 2: Safety
Make sure pin is

fully inserted. Figure 2-8. Always have the align-
ment pins inserted when lifting or
handling a split machine.

MOUNTING AND CENTERING THE MACHINE ON THE PIPE

This section describes mounting the DynaPrep MDSF on the workpiece. After completing this
procedure, go to the chapter for the operation you are performing. These chapters describe how to
install tool slide(s) and perform the cutting operation:
• Chapter 5, Operating with Standard Slides

• Chapter 6, Operating with O.D. Tracking Slides
• Chapter 7, Operating with a Counterbore Slide
• Chapter 8, Operating with the Bridge Slide.
Two or more people are required to mount the DynaPrep

WARNING MDSF on the pipe. You may also use a lifting device to assist
when mounting the machine.
Operating Environment and Clearances
Measure the actual O.D. of the pipe. (If necessary, measure the circumference around the pipe and
divide by 3.14 to get the diameter.) Find the O.D. range for your MDSF model in the following
table, and select leg extensions where necessary.
Configuring the Clamp Legs
The standard clamping legs have 2” (51 mm) of travel, allowing a 4-inch pipe range. Add clamp
leg extensions to the clamping legs to extend their range for smaller pipes. A set of clamp leg
extensions is provided, one extension for each clamp leg.
Figure 4-1. DynaPrep MDSF

models 612 through 1420 have 4
standard clamp legs.

DynaPrep MDSF
Standard

Screw
clamp legs
Figure 4-2. Models 1824 and

larger have 4 standard clamp legs
and 4 screw clamp legs. Use the
standard clamp legs to square the
machine on the pipe, then snug the
screw clamp legs for stability. You
can use the screw clamps legs as
the primary clamps for special-
ized applications, such as a miter
cut.

Extension Legs
A set of extension legs is provided with the DyanPrep MDSF. The legs extend the length of the
standard clamp legs by 1-3/4” (44 mm).
1. Turn the clamping screw to

extend the leg.
2. Slide the extension leg onto

the clamp foot.
3. Use the locking pin knob to

engage the pin in the clamp
foot. Make sure the pin is
fully engaged and the exten-
sion leg is secure.

DynaPrep MDSF
Clamp Pad Set

A variety of specialized clamp pads are available with the DynaPrep MDSF. These pads fit onto
all clamp legs and extensions.
Using clamp pads will decrease the clearance between the

NOTE machine and the pipe surface. Make sure there is adequate
clearance before using the clamp pads.
Always configure all 4 clamp legs identically (using exten-

ATTENTION sions and/or clamp pads). If the legs are not set up the same,
the machine may not clamp securely to the pipe.
Figure 4-3. Use the clamp pads

where necessary for mounting the
MDSF to the pipe.
Knurled
contact pad • Knurled pads provide a more
0.5” radius secure grip on the pipe.

setup for miter cutting.
Figure 4-4. Press the clamp pad

into the hole on the clamp leg or
extension. The rubber o-ring holds
the pad in place.

Axial Adjustment Clamp Leg Extensions

The axial adjustment leg extensions allow you to clamp the machine to the pipe, then move it axi-
ally. This is useful for squaring the machine, or for fine adjustment of axial position on the pipe.
The axial adjustment extensions let you move the machine 0.XX inch along the pipe.
1. Turn the adjustment nut on

the axial extension to spin
the feed nut off the screw.
2. Insert the pin of the feed nut

into one of the holes on the
clamp leg. You can install the
axial extensions either way.
3. Slide the axial extension onto

the clamp leg. Turn the
adjustment nut to thread the
feed nut onto the screw.

DynaPrep MDSF
Mounting Machine on Inline Pipe (Split Ring)

Before mounting the machine on the pipe, have the clamp legs configured with extensions and/or
clamp pads as required.
Splitting the Ring

To mount the DynaPrep MDSF on in-line pipe, you will have to split the machine into halves by
loosening the frame locking screws at the split points.

Skip this section if the machine is already split, as when stored in its case.
1. Lay machine on a secure sur-

face with the rotating ring
up.
2. Insert the two frame locking

pins to keep the rotating and
stationary rings together.
• Turn the rotating ring to align the
split points so that you can
insert the pins.
Align split
Insert both points on
frame lock- rotating and
ing pins stationary

3. Using the 19 mm socket

wrench, loosen the nuts on
the swing bolts in the rotat-
ing ring. Lift the bolts out of
the blocks.

DynaPrep MDSF
4. Using the 19 mm socket

wrench, loosen the frame
locking bolts until they turn
freely.
• The bolts are captivated.
5. Pull the halves of the

machine apart at the split
lines.
• Use equal force on each side to
separate the halves without
binding.
• Retract the clamp legs fully for
maximum working clearance.

Use reasonable force to separate the halves. If you can’t pull

NOTE them apart, check to make sure you have adequately loosened
the frame locking screws.
Mounting the Machine
To make the setup easier to see, the photos in this section show
NOTE the machine on an open-ended pipe.
Make sure you attach the stationary ring to a section of pipe

WARNING that will support its weight. Do not clamp the machine onto a
pipe section or end that will “fall off” after cutting.

DynaPrep MDSF
1. Make sure the mating sur-

faces are clean and free of
debris. Wipe down the ends
of the stationary and rotating
rings thoroughly before put-
ting the machine together.
2. Set the two halves of the

machine on top of the work-
piece.
• The easiest way to put the
halves together is with one
operator on each side of the
pipe. Each operator holds one
half of the machine while putting
them together.
To install the machine on vertical pipe, you may need a lift or

NOTE support device to support both halves of the machine.

3. Move the halves of the

machines to positions where
you can press them together.
4. Engage the swing bolts in the

blocks and snug the nuts to
hold the machine together.

DynaPrep MDSF
5. Snug the frame locking

screws to bring the halves of
the machine together.
• Check that the split lines on both
sides are fully closed.
6. Securely tighten the frame

locking screws and the swing
bolt nuts.Turn the machine
on the pipe to set the pinion
housing at a convenient loca-
tion for operating the drive
motor (usually on the top).
• Avoid positioning any of the
clamping legs on an irregular
part of the pipe surface, such as
a weld seam.
No gap at
split line

Be sure that the frame locking screws and swing bolt nuts are
ATTENTION securely tightened before continuing with mounting proce-
dure. Make sure there are no gaps at the split lines. Incorrect
assembly may cause damage to drive gears.
7. Screw in the 4 clamping legs

equally to roughly center the
machine on the pipe.
• Snug the 4 clamping legs just
enough to hold the machine in
place. You will center the
machine precisely in the next
section.
• On model 1824, use the 4
clamping legs to center and
square the machine. Tighten the
screws clamps after the
machine is centered and
squared.
Mounting Machine on Open-End Pipe (Assembled Ring)

For open-ended workpieces, slide the machine over the pipe end. It is not necessary to split the
machine. Make sure you are attaching the stationary frame to a section of the pipe that will
support its weight. Do not clamp the machine onto a pipe section or end that will “fall off”
after cutting.
Make sure the frame locking screws are tight and the alignment pins are inserted in the machine.
Use the same clamping and positioning procedures as for in-line pipe.
Positioning the Machine for the Cut Line
You should have the machine roughly squared and centered

NOTE before setting it precisely for the cut line position. Once you have
it set at the cut line, do the final squaring and centering.

DynaPrep MDSF
In most applications, the easiest way to set the cut line location is to mount the slides and tooling,
and use the tool itself as a gauge. With the clamping legs just loose enough to move the machine,
slide it along the pipe until the tool is positioned on the desired cut line.
You can also set the position by measuring the distance from the machine to the cut line. The “cut
line height” is the distance from the surface of the rotating ring to the desired cut location on the
pipe. The cut line height depends on the following factors:
• the slides being used

• the cutting operation
• the tooling configuration in the slide.
See the chapter for the slides you are using for specific cut line height information.
Squaring and Centering the Machine
The standard clamping pads are self-squaring. When you snug them, the machine should be very
close to squared, unless the pipe surface is irregular.
1. Using the provided square,

check the squaring of the
machine at each clamp leg
position.
2. If the machine is not square

on the pipe, loosen the clamp
legs slightly. You should be
able to push on the machine
or tap it with a rubber mallet
to move it, but it should not
move freely.

Square machine to Then square it at the 3. Hold the square at one of the
pipe at 2 opposite other 2 locations leg positions and nudge the
leg locations machine to square it. Snug
down the clamp leg at that
position, and the leg at the
opposite position.
4. Move the square to one of

the legs 90° from the first
leg. Nudge the machine to
square it, then snug down the
final 2 clamp legs.
• Check the squaring again at all
4 legs. If necessary, repeat the
adjustment.
• Leave the clamp legs just snug
to hold the machine in position,
but not tightened.
5. Center the machine by mea-
suring the gap between the
I.D. of the machine and the
pipe surface at opposite
clamp legs.
• On the side closer to the pipe,
loosen the clamp leg screw by
one turn, then tighten the oppo-
site leg by one turn. Continue
until the gap is the same on both
sides.
• Leave the legs snug but not
tightened.

DynaPrep MDSF
6. Measure the gaps at the other

2 legs, and perform the same
adjustment to make them
equal.
7. Check the cut line position

again before tightening the
clamp leg screws.
8. Remove the frame locking

pins. Manually rotate the
machine a full 360° to make
sure it turns freely.
9. Tighten the clamp legs alter-

nately, by 10-20 lb-ft incre-
ments, as shown in the
A D
picture:
• Tighten A & B together.
• Tighten C & D together.
• Repeat until all clamp legs are
tightened to approximately 50
lb-ft.

Installation on Vertical Pipe
The DynaPrep MDSF can be installed on in-line or open-ended vertical pipe, with the machine in
a horizontal position. Set-up and operating procedures are the same as for horizontal pipe. How-
ever, observe the following guidelines for machining vertical (or other non-horizontal angle)
workpieces.

• Make sure the machine is adequately supported until you tighten the clamp feet securely on
the workpiece.
• Refer to the weight chart in Chapter 2 to determine if multiple operators or a lifting device are
needed to help support the machine.
• The MDSF is easier to handle in a horizontal position when the ring halves are assembled. If
possible, install it as an assembled ring.
• If you need to split the machine to install on in-line pipe, make sure each half is supported
until installation is complete. Two lifting devices may be required, one for each half of the
machine.
• Use a scaffolding or other support structure(s) if available. Make sure the machine rests stably
on the support.
• When performing a parting operation, make sure the workpiece is securely supported both
above and below the machine.
For difficult installation environments, a custom mounting

NOTE adapter can be provided. The adapter can be bolted or welded to
the workpiece to hold the DynaPrep MSDF in place. Contact
E.H. Wachs customer support to discuss requirements.
MOUNTING THE DRIVE MOTOR
1. Open the motor adapter han-

dle on the pinion housing.

DynaPrep MDSF
2. Insert the shaft of the drive

motor into the pinion gear
socket.
• Rotate the motor as necessary
to align the splines or square
shaft in the socket.
3. Clamp the motor adapter

handle to secure the motor in
place.
• To remove the motor, open the
motor adapter handle again and
pull the drive motor shaft out.

Operating with Standard Slides
CONFIGURING THE SLIDES
Installing the Tooling
Use the provided tool spacers to set tool positions and offsets. Three different spacers are pro-
vided, with 2 of each (one for each slide).
• If you are performing a cutoff operation, always use two parting tools, one in each slide.
Either offset the tools using spacers, or use a 3/16” tool in one slide and a 1/4” tool in the
other. (Lead with the 3/16” tool.)
• If you are performing a cut and bevel operation, use a parting tool in one slide and a beveling
tool in the other. Use spacers to align the tools as required.
• If you are beveling only, you can configure one or both slides with beveling tools. (For a com-
pound bevel only, use only one tool)s
• You can also install tooling in the slide with no spacers. This is useful for a situation where
clearance behind the MDSF is limited.
Figure 5-1. Use the spacers in the

tool holders to set the tool posi-
tions.
• You can install any of the spac-
ers in either orientation.
• Secure the spacer in the tool
holder using the screw on the
0.92” x 1.00” 0.75” x 0.50” 0.67” x 0.50” side of the tool holder. Each
spacer has 2 holes, one for
each orientation.

Operating the Slides
The standard slides are available in three sizes. Each size has a different tool travel, or stroke. The
slides have a feed rate of 0.003” per trip (one tooth on the starwheel). An optional configuration
for each slide offers a “high feed” mechanism with a feed rate of 0.006” per rotation of the star-
wheel.
• 1.5” stroke (69-5215-03; 69-5215-06 for high feed).

When cutting, engage the number of trips required for the desired feed rate.

Use the manual feed knob to advance or

retract the slide to position the tool.
Figure 5-3. The standard slides

are labeled with the operating
dimensions.
• Turning the manual feed knob
(or starwheel) one full turn will
feed the slide by 0.012” (0.3

OPERATING THE DYNAPREP MDSF

See Chapter 4 for instructions on mounting the drive motor to the machine.
Read Chapter 2, “Safety”, and be familiar with all safe operating guidelines before operating the
DynaPrep MDSF.
1. Connect the power source to the drive motor: air, hydraulic, or electric.
2. Feed the slides to position the tools close to the workpiece.
• If you are using a 3/16” parting tool and a 1/4” parting tool, set the 3/16” parting tool so it
leads (closer to the workpiece).
• When parting and beveling, you can set the bevel tool to lead to split the chip and make cut-
ting easier.
• If you need to feed the slides in more than a few turns, disable the feed and use the rapid
retract to advance them quickly.
3. Make sure the trips are in the disengaged position. Set the motor control to the slowest
speed, and operate the DynaPrep MDSF slowly through one rotation while checking for
clearance.
Figure 5-4. Push the trip knobs

back to disengage the trips before
starting the machine.

Operating with O.D. Tracking Slides
O.D. TRACKING SLIDE KIT

O.D. tracking slides are designed to track on the surface of out-of-round pipe. A spring-loaded
tracking wheel travels on the pipe surface as the DynaPrep MDSF rotates. This keeps the cutting
tool in contact with the pipe all around the O.D. at a continuous depth.
The O.D. tracking slides can be used with DynaPrep MDSF models from 12” to 60”. One kit, part
number 69-5204-01, is available for the full range of machine sizes. The kit comes in its own stor-
age case. Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2 show the components included in the O.D. tracking slide kit.

COUNTERBORE SLIDES
Two counterbore slides are available with the DynaPrep MDSF:
• 3” stroke (69-4605-00)
• 6” stroke (69-4606-00).
The operating procedure is the same for both. The only difference is the length of stroke and max-
imum counterbore depth.
The counterbore slide has a manual feed handle to feed the tool axially into the I.D. of the pipe.
Operate the DynaPrep MDSF in the normal direction, with the trip(s) removed from the machine.
(Removing the trips completely, rather than disabling them, is recommended for safer operation.)
Use the manual feed knob on the standard slide to set the radial position for each pass of the coun-
terbore cut.

chapter describes setting up the DynaPrep MDSF and mounting the bridge slide to it. For instruc-
tions on machining with the bridge slide, refer to the instructions in the Bridge Slide Single-Point
Accessory User’s Manual.
Bridge slides are available for DynaPrep MDSF models from 12” to 48”. Table lists the bridge
slide used with each DynaPrep MDSF. The bridge slide adapter kit (69-5300-00) includes all
components required to fit the bridge slide to the DynaPrep MDSF.

The bridge slide attaches to the DynaPrep MDSF machine and “bridges” the end of the pipe. The
tool mount has two axes of motion:
• An axial positioning drive for setting the tool depth into the face of the pipe. This drive is
manually operated, using a hand knob.

DynaPrep MDSF
• A feed drive that feeds the tool radially in toward the center of the pipe. The drive uses a star-
wheel and trip to feed automatically as the DynaPrep MDSF rotates.
To perform an operation feeding the slide out away from the cen-
NOTE ter of the pipe (such as counterboring), disengage the trip and
operate the slide manually using a wrench on the castle nut.
The bridge slide uses a single point tool and is available with beveling templates for various form
contours.
The MDSF bridge slide adapter kit is shown in Figure 8-1. It includes components for mounting
compatible bridge slides on MDSF models 612 through 4248.

LUBRICATION
1. Lubricate the feed screws and slide rails on the slides every time you use the machine. Use a
light oil; do not use grease.
2. Every 2 cuts, split the ring into halves and clean and lubricate inside the rotating and station-
ary rings.
• Using a clean cloth, wipe out the raceway of the stationary ring to remove oil and dirt.
• Wipe down the bearing surface of the rotating ring to remove oil and dirt.
• Apply a few drops of way oil to the felt wipers in the stationary ring.
