Setting the Machine
25
The overall setting process is done in 3
phases. 1) Setting the table level against
the main table; front and rear. 2) Setting
the sliding table/main table gap, to
ensure a parallel feed. 3) Raising the
sliding table slightly proud of the main
table. The reason it is done in this
manner and this order, is that phases 1)
and 2) are interactive e.g. tilting the
sliding table to bring it level can change
the gap between the two tables, (See
fig 90) whereas if the tables are set level
a uniform adjustment to the brackets,
should not alter the level, merely the gap.
(See figs 90 & 91) The final phase is only
a ‘jacking’ exercise and should not affect
the previous settings.
Make sure all the fixing bolts are
generally finger tight.
Place a level across the main and the
sliding tables to check both are level
Place a level in the horizontal position on
the sliding table and adjust until it’s level
