Attaching the Stepper Motor to the Headstock
The stepper motor attaches to the headstock as shown in the picture to the right.
If you purchased the kit we supply, the holes on
the left and right are already set properly. If you
built it yourself, you will now need to drill the holes
for the screws on the right. As noted in the case
building instructions, these need to be set based
on the alignment of the bracket.
Attach the spindle pulley to the spindle
flange. There are 4 screws for this.
One is indicated here.
Attach the stepper motor to the
bracket using 4 screws. One is
indicated here.
Secure the 12-tooth drive pulley to the
stepper motor’s spindle.
Attach the bracket to the headstock on both sides. There are two screws and
two spacers (they look like thick washers). The spacers are installed between the
bracket and the headstock. They are held onto the headstock using barrel nuts.
Do not tighten them just yet.
