Setting Up the PG-6000 Gage   (continued)

 

 
 
 
12. Place the washer and lock screw on each roll 

pin. 

 
13. Using the 1/8” hex wrench, tighten the lock 

screw. Eliminate any side to side movement of 
the thread roll, but make sure that the thread 
roll still rotates. 

 

DO NOT over tighten the lock screw. This 
will prevent the gage from operating 
properly.
