Blade Installation
A 6” diameter diamond blade with a 1/2” arbor hole is required.
Remove trim table from unit (see parts list drawings). Remove the
arbor shaft nut by turning it
CLOCKWISE
and remove the outer blade
flange from shaft. Slide the blade onto the shaft. If the blade comes
with an adapter bushing, be careful the correct bushing remains in
place during installation. Re-install the outer shaft flange and
replace the arbor shaft nut. Tighten the arbor shaft nut by turning
it
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
the arbor shaft nut
as this can distort the shaft flanges. Reinstall trim table.
Slight blade wobble is normal with thin lapidary blades. Loosening
the arbor shaft nut and rotating the blade slightly will often reduce
wobble.
Vise Attachment Installation
Vise attachment should be installed on trim table with self tapping
sheet metal bolts in holes provided as shown on the parts list
drawing. Care should be taken to assure that the vise runs parallel
to the blade. Alignment can be checked by clamping a pencil in the
vise with the point lightly against the side of the blade at the front.
Slide the vise with pencil to the rear of the blade – The pencil point
should lightly touch the side of the blade as the vise is moved
towards the back. (Fig.2). If the pencil point pulls away from the
blade or digs into the blade, loosen the vise mounting screws and
adjust the vise until the alignment is good.
Grinding Wheel & Sanding Drum Installation
The LU6X-130 machine has enough space on the right side to use
one grinding wheel, a sanding drum and a screw-on polish head
(items included with LU6X-130; not included with Basic LU6X). If
using a grinding wheel or sanding drum with a different inside
diameter, make sure to use bushings of the correct size. Check
with the manufacturer of the wheels for the correct bushing.
The grinding wheel is installed on the section of shaft that is ¾” in
diameter. Install the ¾” ID plated flange onto the shaft and slide it
up against the retaining ring. Install the 6” x 1” grinding wheel onto
the shaft using the correct plastic bushing. Install the second ¾” ID
flange onto the shaft. Install and tighten the ¾” Hex Nut against the
second flange. (Fig.3)
The sanding drum is installed on the section of the shaft that is ½”
in diameter. Install one ½” ID plated flange onto the shaft and slide
it up against the step on the shaft. Install the 6” x 2-1/2” sanding
drum onto the shaft. Install the second ½” ID flange onto the shaft.
Install and tighten the ½” Hex Nut against the second flange. (Fig.4)
