Congratulations on the purchase of your Darex
XT-3000 Countersink Attachment. This fixture
comes with 2 V-40 double angle collets and is
used in conjunction with the
Darex XT-3000 X-Y
Attachment.
By now you are familiar with the ‘quick disconnect’
feature of your
XT-3000 . Begin by removing the
current sharpening
fixture and replacing it
with the X-Y table.
Secure it in place by
rotating the ‘Docking
Lever’ clockwise. In a
similar manner, lock
the Countersink
Attachment to the top
of the machine.
It is now necessary to
determine the shank
diameter of the tool that will
be sharpened and place the
corresponding collet into the
Countersink Attachment.
To do so
slowly rotate
the spindle
clockwise until
the Spindle
Lock engages
the spindle.
Now unscrew the
Draw Tube assembly.
Place the correct collet
in the end of the Draw
Tube and replace the
Draw Tube assembly
and tighten 3 or 4
revolutions. Should
you need a collet size other than the ones
provided, you may order them from Darex
Corporation. (1-800-547-0222)
Slide the cutting tool
into the spindle leaving
approximately 1” or
more of the tool
exposed. Loosen the
Alignment Thumb
Screw and rotate the
Alignment Arm
assembly around until
the dowel pin
intersects both the
cutting edge and the
heel simultaneously.
Tighten the Alignment
Thumb Screw. Rotate
the Draw tube
assembly clockwise to
tighten the tool in the
spindle. Return the
Alignment Arm to its
original position and
release the spindle lock
pin by pulling up and
turning the pin 90°.
The cutting tool is now
oriented to the spindle
cam and is ready to be
sharpened.
