Bore Alignment Using the T-218 Target/T-255 Bore Fixture 

 

Laser Buck-In Using the T-218 Target/T-225L Bore Fixture 

1.

 

Place the T-218/T-225L Target in the 

Near Bore

 in the NORMal 

position (see Figure 15)

2.

 

Insert the laser into the L-111 Stand with the level on the top, 

centered from left to right (see Figure 16).  

3.

 

Place the L-102 over the post of the stand but keep it at the top 

of the post during the rough-in part of the setup.   

 

Rough-align the laser beam to the bore targets so it goes into the 

window of the T-218 in both the

 Near

 and 

Far Bore

s. 

 

4.

 

Turn on the L-706 and move the switch to 

CONT 

mode, 

(see Page 6) which turns off the pulsing of the laser and 

provides a continuous beam that is easier to see. 

5.

 

Tape a piece of paper over the face of the target. Trace an 

outline of the target window and make a dot in the center 

of the circle. This makes it easier to see where the laser 

beam is hitting the target window.   

6.

 

Roughly slide the L-111/L-706 horizontally and move it 

up/down the posts vertically until the laser beam hits the 

dot in the center of the circle on the paper.  

Note:

  

To help translate the L-111 horizontally, clamp a 

straight-edge on the surface behind the magnet to give it 

something to slide against without changing the angle 

(yaw). 

7.

 

Move T-218/T-225L to the 

Far Bore

 in the NORMal 

position and note where the laser beam hits the circle on 

the paper. 

8.

 

Turn the L-111 Coarse Angular Pitch and Yaw adjustment 

knobs until the laser beam is centered in the circle on the 

paper.   

9.

 

Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until the laser beam hits the center dot on 

the paper in both the 

Near

 and

 Far Bore

s.  Now the laser is 

roughly aligned to the two end bores. 

 

The final buck-in is needed to align the laser to the true center of 

both the 

Near

 and 

Far Bore

s. 

 

10.

 

Insert the T-218/T-225L back into the 

Near Bore

 in the NORMal 

position (see Figure 15). 

11.

 

Slide down the L-102 so it is in front of the laser, ensure it is 

seated against the opposite post of the stand and tighten the thumb 

screw. Also ensure that it is approximately perpendicular to the 

laser beam. 

12.

 

Switch the L-706 to 

PULSE

 Mode, (see Page 6) connect the R-

1307 readout and power it on.   

13.

 

Write down the 

V

 and 

H

 readings (NORMal).   

14.

 

INvert the T-218/T-225L and take another reading (see Figure 

17). Write down the 

V

 and

 H

 readings (INverted).
