Adjusting
Downfeed Stop Bolt
If the blade does not travel far enough to complete
the cut, or the blade contacts the vise table, then
the downfeed stop bolt will need to be adjusted.
When the downfeed stop bolt is adjusted, the
downfeed limit switch should be adjusted to match
so the blade and coolant pump stop at the end of
the cut.

stock until blade is just below vise table
surface.

3. Loosen stop bolt jam nut, then adjust
downfeed stop bolt until head of stop bolt con-
tacts bottom of headstock (see
