Step 1

Part Identification

Layout out all of the parts and pieces that came with the 
big sweep. Using the exploded parts view on the previous 
page, identify each of the parts and the quantities. We 
will be using the reference numbers in exploded parts 
view throughout the instruction process.

Step 2

Assemble the Track Mounting Blocks (22)

 

To do this, thread a Studded T-knob (24) into the upper 
hole on one of the blocks as shown. Do not thread all 
the way through. Next, thread a locking set screw (23) 
into the lower hole as shown. Do not thread all the way 
through. Once you are completed with the first block, 
repeat this process for the other two blocks. 

Step 3

Install T-Track Mounting Blocks

Slide the T-Track Mounting Blocks (22) on to the single 
slotted side of the Mounting Track (21) making sure that 
each block is facing the same direction as shown above.

Step 4

Attach the Track and Mounting Block Assembly 

Please note that all lathes are different as far as shape. 
The blocks are designed to slide along the track to adapt 
to the shape of your lathe. Start at one end of the track 
and secure the block to your lathe by tightening the 
Studded T-knob (24). Attach and secure the next block fol-
lowed by the third block. Lock the track in place by tight-
ening the Set Screws (23) with a philips head screw driver.
