HD Spindle Mount

 

If you are using one of the matching HD spindle mounts please note you do not use the EZTram plate. Also note the 
smaller central screw is used for opening the mount up. Once the spindle has been inserted into the mount please 
remove this screw and re-tighten the 4 screws to mount. 

With the HD Spindle Mount there is usually no need to tram the motor left/right, as it’s precision milled. Fit the HD Mount 
to the holes on the front of the HDZ. Use the provided M6/M5 bolts. 

 

Z Homing Switch 

 

Fit your existing Z homing switch to the motor standoff.
