Banjo & Toolrest Assembly
1. Place the flat side of the banjo onto the
bed bars and insert the toolrest into the banjo
Fig.6.12
.
2. Introduce the square strap underneath the
bed bars and feed the banjo screw through the
hole in the square strap
Fig.6.12
.
Please note: Because the banjo (tool rest
holder) is flat to allow travel on the bed
bars, in this case there are no kinematic
points of contact. This means the
position of the square strap underneath
is not critical. There are 3 identical
square straps; one for the tail stock and
one for the head stock (where kinematic
points are used), one for the banjo
(where kinematic points are not used).
3. Place the bush onto the tailstock screw
Fig.

.
4. Feed the washer onto the tailstock screw
under the bush and tighten the Nyloc nut to
secure the assembly
Fig.6.14
.
4. As before, use a spanner to tighten the nyloc
nut on the underside of the toolrest assembly
Fig.
6.15
.
Please note: Sensitivity of the cam is
adjusted with this nut. To reduce travel
on the cam and increase clamping force,
tighten the nut. To increase travel on
the cam and reduce the clamping force,
slacken the nut.
5. Insert the tool rest and locking handle into
the banjo to complete assembly of the tool rest,
