Spindle Elevator Adjustment
The gib of the spindle elevator was factory
adjusted and initially should not require
readjustment. Depending on the amount of use,
the spindle elevator may become loose and the
spindle may vibrate. In this case, it will need to
be adjusted:
1. Mark the original position of the set screws.
2. With a 13mm wrench, loosen four jam nuts
that secure the gib set screws.
3. Use a 4mm hex wrench to tighten each set
screw, 1/8 or less turn at a time. Begin with
the lowest one, followed by the uppermost
one, then the two middle set screws.
NOTICE:
If the gibs are too tight, the spindle
height adjustment handwheel will be
difficult to turn. Loosen the gib set screws.
4. When the right amount of tightness is
achieved, hold the set screw in position with
a 4mm hex wrench to maintain the setting,
and tighten the jam nut with a 13mm wrench.
