Body Post Trim and Chamfer Tool

Good looking (and track safe!) body posts aren't the result of luck, and certainly not the result of daigonal cutters! The Team QIK Body Post Trim and Chamfer tool will give you professional results quickly. It includes all the equpment you need (including the necessary thin blade to fit our slot) to cut your body posts to a proper length and finish them off with a nice smooth attracive chamfer. With 5 mm and 11 mm options that help ensure you get the cut precisely where you want it (typically between holes). 

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Identify where you want your body post cut. Insert a 2 mm pin into the appropriate post hole either 5 or 11 mm lower than where you want your cut.

2. Insert the razor blade into the tool slot and back the thumbscrew out until the blade does not impede the placement of the tool over the body post. Choose either the 5 or 11 mm option by flipping the tool over.

3. Repeatedly tighten the thumbscrew 1/2 turn at a time and rotate the tool around the post in small increments to make circular cuts. Do not make the entire cut without rotating the tool or you may end up with an uneven cut.

4. Once the cut has been completed (usually about 6 half turns on a 6 mm body post) remove the tool and the cut off portion of post.

5. Using the chamfer hole, insert the freshly cut body post and apply light even pressure down onto the tool as you make one complete revolution around the post. If you prefer a more exaggerated chamfer repeat this process with increasing pressure until you reach your desired shape.

NOTE: While this may be used with Xray Graphite body posts, extreme care must be taken to go slowly so as to reduce the risk of breaking blades.
