Hexagonal Bar Stock
If you use hexagonal bar stock:
• Hexagonal liners are highly recommended. They should maintain a consistent
orientation inside the spindle.
• If you use the bar-guide-and-spacer style of spindle liners, the first (2) guide disks
should have hexagonal holes, oriented with the collet.
• The V-shape of the transfer tray keeps hexagonal stock in a consistent orientation.
• The lead end of the bar should have a 30-degree chamfer.
• Use M19 commands to set the spindle orientation to align the collet flats with the bar
flats. in the bar feeder tray. Note that the spindle orientation option is necessary to
do this.
