Blocks with Main Caps Installed
Remove any burrs from pan rails of block.
Position rear supports and front supports to hold block approximately centered in path of cutter-head.
Generally, place the front supports closer together than the rear supports.
Place the block on the supports. Reposition the supports if necessary to clear main caps. Etc. Elevate
the cones to hook the pan rail in the rear. Tighten set screws to lock cones in place. Tighten the hex bolts
on the supports. Adjust the support block jack to eliminate any rocking. Lightly apply the clamp handle
assembly.
Loosen table clamp and level head surface of block in both directions. Lock table clamp. With the level
still on the block tighten clamp handle assembly with appropriate clamp nose on the lower portion of a
port or indent near the middle of the block. Tighten the clamp 1/8 to1/4 turn after contacting the block. Do
not over-tighten. Watch the level as you tighten to check for movement or warping. If the block moves
or warps, repositioning the front supports inward will generally solve the problem. Check to see that the
block cannot be moved in the fixture. We suggest that you install the stop rod assembly on the left hand
end of the block. This is an added safety precaution.
