13. Once all 4 level pads are installed the bar feeder movement up and down is by way of the

arbor. Perform alingment procedure of choice, string or laser.

4.6 String Alignment

Caution disabling the hood switch on the bar feeder is required to view

the laser target and align the bar feeder.

Caution manually moving the pusher with the pendant when the hood is

disabled.

Note: As alignment is adjusted make verify distance from bar feeder to lathe
does not change.

String Alignment Procedure

Not supplied is the rear centering plug and spindle plug. These items can be made for the string

alignment. These items are not available from Edge Technologies. The string is included with all

Patriot models. The standard alignment procedure by an Edge Technician is by laser alignment.

The following steps for basic string alignment

Nut

Washer
