MANUAL OPERATION B-41

INDEXING THE TURRET HEAD
The turret can be rotated manually.
Manual turret indexing is used to mount a tool holder and/or cutting tool in the turret or to set tool
offset data.
Close the front door before indexing the turret head.
When the turret head is rotated with cutting
tools mounted in it, tools with long projection
lengths could strike the Z-axis protector (cover
or tailstock), etc. Before rotating the turret
head, make sure that the tools in the turret
head do not interfere with the protector (cover
or tailstock), since interference will damage the
machine.
When mounting an I.D. cutting tool in the turret
head, make sure that the tool shank does not
project beyond the rear surface of the tool
holder. If it does it will interfere with the turret
base, etc., during turret head rotation,
damaging the machine.
