One step copper pipe fitting abrasion preparation

A method for combining the steps of abrading or polishing and reaming terminal ends of tubing and fittings in one operation preformed by a tool, in order for the tubing to be abraded and reamed to permit subsequent joining of the tubing to a like abraded and reamed fitting to form a continuous length of tubing wherein a hand-held electrically powered device having a rotating extension capable of accepting a shaft comprises the steps of;

• a. concentrically connecting a male abrasive member to a second shaft;
• b. concentrically connecting a female abrasive member to an outer circumferential housing which encompasses the tool;
• c. attaching said outer circumferential housing to said second shaft;
• d. attaching a reaming device to said second shaft;
• e. concentrically attaching said second shaft to said shaft and
• f. connecting said shaft to said rotating extension of said hand-held electrically powered device wherein the following steps are performed in one operation;
• 1. rotatably and abrasively engaging an inner surface of an end of a length of tubing or fitting;
• 2. rotatably and abrasively engaging an outer surface of the end of a length of tubing or fitting and
• 3. rotatably and abrasively engaging said reaming device for removing unwanted material from the end of a length of tubing or fitting.

• a. concentrically connecting a clutch release mechanism to disengage upon the application of excessive torque to said second shaft;
• b. concentrically connecting a male abrasive member to a second shaft;
• c. concentrically connecting a female abrasive member to an outer circumferential housing which encompasses the tool;
• d. attaching said outer circumferential housing to said second shaft;
