Adjusting the radial slide anti-backlash lead nut
The radial slide lead nut is adjustable to provide near zero backlash. Adjustment of the lead nut is
done by one M4 set screw on each of the two lead nuts.
Adjustment should only be necessary after many hours of use. These should only be adjusted if
the machine is no longer producing a good finish.
If the slide is visibly loose and causing machining problems, tighten the two set screws by small
increments until less than 0
.001”
(0.025 mm) of the backlash can be measured.
After adjustment, check travel over the full length of leadscrew for tight spots.
Positioning the machining arm
The machining arm is adjustable for versatile positioning and to clear obstructions.
Do the following to reposition the arm:
1. Loosen the screws holding the four
clamps.
2. Hold the safety stop pin open.
3. Slide the arm to the desired position.
4. Release the safety stop pin. If
necessary, adjust the machining arm
until the safety stop pin engages in the
retention notch.
5. Retighten the clamps and the
counterweight.
WARNING
Tighten the clamp bolts to 45 ft-lbs (61 Nm) to prevent
unexpected movement that could cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
Position the machining arm so that the safety stop pin engages the
retention notch in the machining arm.
Do not disable the safety stop pin. The safety stop pin is intended
to prevent unwanted shifting of the machining arm, which could
result in serious injury or death.
