Description
The RIDGID Model 300 Power Drive is an electric
motor-driven machine which centers and chucks pipe,
conduit and rod (bolt stock) and rotates it while thread-
ing, cutting and reaming operations are performed.
Forward (clockwise) or Reverse (counterclockwise)
rotation can be selected with the FOR/OFF/REV switch
and a foot switch provides ON/OFF control of the motor.
The threading, cutting and reaming operations can be
performed by conventional hand tools or tools designed for
mounting on the Power Drive. A manual oiling system is
available to flood the workpiece with thread cutting oil dur-
ing the threading operation. Geared Threaders can also be
used with the Power Drive to thread larger diameter pipe.
The RIDGID Model 300 Power Drive can also be used
as a power source for roll grooving equipment. Designed
to attach to the support arms of the Power Drive, the roll
grooving equipment forms standard roll grooves on a
variety of pipe sizes and materials.
NOTE! Contact a RIDGID distributor or consult the
RIDGID catalog for specifications on roll groov-
ing equipment.
