4.16 Telescoping Nose
Caution cutting of the telescoping nose should be carefully performed.
The telescoping nose is normally used with sliding headstock lathes and attaches from the bar
feeder to the MAVD when equipped. This nose must be cut to provide room for the MAVD and
keep the nose from collapsing into itself. Additionally there is a spacing ring (A) that is required
for the nose to be fastened to the MAVD.
Note: when cutting the nose it is very important the surface is perpendicular to the shaft
The telescoping nose is matched to the channel set. Anytime a channel set is changed the nose
must be changed as well. During an installation all telescoping noses must be cut the same
length.
The overall collapsed length of an uncut nose is 397.8mm and 802.8mm at full extension. The
nose will always be cut for instalaation to the lathe. The minumun collapsed length is normaly no
less than 10 inches.
